Start with one moment.

Three memories. One deeper thought. One final line. That's enough to make something meaningful.

A place to start

What did working with them teach you that you still use?

“He keeps a drawer of granola bars and tells the kids it's his snack drawer. Vik is diabetic.”

Fragments shown from an example Preserve.

Make it yourself. Or invite the people who know them best.

  • You
  • Sister
  • Best friend
  • Dad

A Preserve is complete when one person makes it. If you'd like, you can invite a few others to add one thing each — never required.

How contributing works

Give them the part of the work they get to keep.

The moments, lessons, and people that made those years mean something.
