Down Syndrome children and adults are the most loving and compassionate people on this planet. We can learn so much from Down Syndrome folks!!!❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My brother was married they had 2 boys she passed away when the boys were 2 and 4 years old. the 4 year old is now 22 years old. he has autism he is high functioning I understand the challenges I helped raise him and his brother the behavioral issues alone were a struggle he is a wonderful young man. This family was blessed like wre were so sharing this special part of their lives is pricless. Thank you for sharing your blessings with the rest of us.❤❤❤
I personally have autism. I'm high functioning too. I'll never drive a car and have a normal job but I blend in with normal people. I do get overwhelmed and overstimulated very easily and need to take naps after even watching a fun movie I enjoy
@levifranklin3016 I think you go and you do your best each day is a new day sine better than others.I learned life throes you some great days and some really bad days abd it all depends on how I react to tge bad things and tge bad people. I don't have autism but guess whatI like taking naps, too! I'm going to give you the same advice. I give my nephew the best you can be , not stress, don't forget to have fun, be kind, and do what makes you happy. Remember, above all, you are awesome and loved.oh and get those naps in 🥰
I absolutely adore your family so much! The love you show each other is such a wonderful thing to see! Thank you for sharing your lives with us! God bless you all!
I have loved your videos for a while now. When Mom spoke about Mr. Holland's Opus, I cried too. My daughter, Corrie, is now 47. She is deaf and also autistic. My heart aches to know what she's thinking all the time! She's also the blessing of my life. She is so talented in many ways, but without the ability to clearly communicate, she is often part of the "background " in most of her daily activities. But the love just flows from her anyway! She and I have been involved in Special Olympics for years. We know a young man very much like Gabe. Thank you all for sharing your family with us!❤❤❤
At the end of the day, this is what it is all about, compassion, care, understanding and most importantly L❤️VE Thank you to your family for sharing Gabe with us. He is the light in your families eyes and ours as well. 😘
I love all of you soo much ! You guys are just a beautiful loving family ! When he look Gabe I see a handsome, smart and loving human being who has a heart of gold ! He’s a blessing to watch with all the videos . He loves all of you as you love him ! Gabe is a wonderful young man who brightens all of our days up ! Gabe sure loves his big brother ! Thanks for letting us all get to know your family ! We love you Super Gabe ! Bless you all ! 🙏🙏♥️💞😘
OMG I Laughed, I cried, I loved this. The back story behind all those adorable video's This is too much I can't take it. I'm still laughing and crying. Gabe has a pure heart of gold. I pray the challenges in this world does not take that away from him. Beautiful Family.
Bubba Rohr and the rest are all the way to 8 and all the best for me and Bubba is the only one I can't get. Tead is the best way of your life and all you have the best way. You can. You can make your life. Rohr 2 your
I so appreciate your family and the transparency. Family dynamics are often challenging . But you show how much love and compassion goes to carry a family through those times. As an old song says to accentuate the positives and eliminate the negatives. This universe embodies that philosophy. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your family with us. Before this segment I did not know that Kira and Gabriel are twins. You are such a loving and inspiring family.
Thank u all for being so open and honest. You all have beautiful souls and the love within your family shines out. Gabe is an absolute star... thank you for sharing your angel with us all.. he brings hope that the world will be a better place... God bless you all xx

Then u laugh in a loving way. Me being disabled myself makes me feel loved to watch this an makes me feel better in myself to be disabled xx
I love you all so much! The caption said emotional 🥲 and boy when your Mom started crying there I went right along with her. I can see what a kind caring and loving family you are and that’s the best part of life right there. 🥰❤️ Big hugs from Georgia
What a blessing you're entire family has, is to so many as well as yourselves!! God is so good!! I admire and appreciate the way you all are. I'm sure it wasn't all easy and all smiles.....

I love seeing the video's of Gabe and Nick. Keira, it was awesome to meet you! 😊 The love is AMAZING !! God bless all of you with the most important gift...... The gift of Love ❤️ 🙏😇 💙💖💙💙💖🙏
I was a teacher of kids with disabilities for 40 years.This channel is exposing the hard truth -they are the best people in the world! I loved every minute I spent with them( well,maybe not every minute). Anyway, the parents really began to get anxious when they got to high school because the gap in ability was becoming more evident. I always shared what I’d heard someone say about raising a special needs person, ‘this may not be the road you were expecting to be traveling but it is still a beautiful road to be on.’ True words. Thanks for sharing your life with us on your journey.
That quote fits most people, not just families with members with special needs. My life didn't turn out at all like I expected but I've spent over 54 years with a wonderful husband.
The love you guys have for each other and especially Gabe is beautiful,Gabe is a very lucky man to have you all. I watched the video and I'm crying with you.
Gabe was definitely born into the exact perfect family for him. The love you all show him and each other is a beautiful thing to see. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story and life with all of us. Sending hugs to you
Even though I don’t have a child with Downs, I understand your wanting to know what he’s thinking at times. You’re a most wonderful mother. You and Gabe have an incredible bond. ❤️
Hi Safier Family. Thankyou Nick for doing/posting a full length back story to your family. The strength, courage and fortitude that both Mom and Dad had to find when they first found out that the family was going to 5, then when 'Baby A' was in trouble. I am really glad that they had and still do have the support network around that they could call on when Gabe and Kira decided they did not like Mom having the amino. and want to do things 'their own way'. From listening to what Mon and Dad have said it is the way that they have been that way as they have grown into the most lovable, big hearted generous young adult they are. This also goes for you also Nick as you are all a credit to both Mon and Dad for the way that they have guided you all to be able to understand what battles Gabe has had to face with his medical issues and also with both you Nick and Kira accepting and understanding what Downs is and all the family living with it. As from what I take from your family (and this would apply to all those with disabilities) it is not only Gabe that has Downs it is a family unit disability as you are all living with it but Gabe has his own issues to deal with and as Mom said 'she would love to be able to get inside his head so she could understand from Gabe's point of view of the world around him. The love, trust, empathy that is shown by all of you towards each other is so wonderful to see. Thankyou Safier family for opening your lives up for us to be able to see a small part of what you are all experiencing, I hope that all of us who have experienced this small part, have a better understanding and have learnt to be more empathetic towards others with disabilities and pass on the knowledge that we have learnt. God bless your wonderful family. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ much love from Melbourne Australia
That was such a beautiful video and you guys will have that to look back on for years♥️♥️♥️ you guys are such a beautiful loving family and Gabbie is lucky to have you guys so him so much love and patience in this crazy world we live in.
Thanks to the entire family for doing this video. I have to say that this is probably my favorite one you guys have done so far. It gave everyone a chance to get to know you all a little more personally. And for everyone to learn about Gabe a little bit better. He's such a wonderful, sweet, and loving soul 💖 💕 . I'm with you two, Mom & Dad, I wouldn't change a thing about him. He has taught everyone so much about life. I'm so glad that I found you guys on here and get to watch your videos. They definitely make me feel better and put a big smile 😀 on my face. Sending Love 💘 💕 💗 and Hugs to all of you 🤗. GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!!
Thank you for sharing your story... my nephew has DS... he had a hole in his heart, blockages in his intestines... many surgeries as a newborn... today, he is a thriving, independent 33 year old!!! Much love to your family!!! 💕💕💕
You are a beautifully real family and the love is tremendous. Kudos to you for teaching each other how to be compassionate and what an excellent role model you all are for the world. As a social worker who has worked with children with disabilities and knows the potential that they all have, it is clear that you do too. I started following your lovely family because I have a brother Nicholas (Nicky/Nick) and his son, my nephew’s name is Gabriel (Gaby) and now I follow and subscribe because I need this to remind why I am a social worker. I also laugh, cry, and enjoy your videos with you. Thank you 🙏🏻 😊🫶
Think of him on the couch as a HUGE blessing.Your guardian angel is alive and living with you.Think of him as watching over you from a distance.I love how yall are with Gabriel. It is absolutely the sweetest thing ever to watch yall together.Yall are just great.❤😊
Gabe is such a blessing to everyone who comes in cotact with him either in person or on youtube.. I know he has his medical issues, I know life looks different for him and your family, but he is the BIGGEST blessing on youtube.. I love you all..
My dear family…..I have seen this video before, but not the whole thing…..I am the Grandma speaking from Southern California…..I have something to add that I have noticed from looking in from me being on the outside; When Kira comes home from school, or Mom is with Dad when you pick up Kira from school…..Mom always gives Kira a very long and loving hug to her daughter! There is a lot of emotion on both sides of that beautiful hug! It is a Mother-Daughter kind of love! And I see it! I also see the very special bond that Kira and Gabe have! I truly love your family! Thank you for sharing your wonderful selves with us!❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙
I can relate so much to so many of the things each of you talked about. As a parent of a special needs disabled child, I went through the educational process. I too went into his first IEP (Individual Educational Plan) very naively. Boy did I learn quickly that I had to speak up. Sometimes very firmly. Brad, like Gabe was very loving to everyone. He was unable to speak because of paralyzed vocal chords, but he was quite clever at getting his point across. He had a tracheostomy since he was 7 weeks old. He was also paralyzed from waist down. With his tracheostomy, feeding tube, a catheter always in his bladder, sleeping on a ventilator and other health issues. Like Gabe’s mother said she always wanted to be able to communicate with him. To know what he wants or for him to express where he hurts or t let you know he is hungry. We were told Brad was 8 years old developmentally but he also had a much broader understanding of many things in life. I used to lean over to him and whisper I knew he knew. He would give me a nod and a big smile. He was always my angel. His older brother and younger sister was always very protective and would speak up if they new he was being disrespected. Sadly my angel grew wings on February 4, 2020. He was 37 years old. Pretty good for the baby doctors said he would never get past One.
Nicky, from the first video I saw of you and Gabe I was hooked. You were coming home and you went running up the steps to see him. My heart melted. Thank you for sharing your family with me, you guys crack me up.
Geisinger in Danville is a excellent hospital. We had to stay there for a week when my husband had cancer removed from his bladder. Awesome nurse's and doctors!❤❤❤
I absolutely loved hearing about your family. You are all so open & amazing people. I think Gab has touched all our hearts. ❤ Thank you for sharing your family’s story with us. Love 2 you all from the UK .🇬🇧 xxxx
What a beautiful video ! I have seen chunks but to get to see this entire video together was so beautiful ❤️. I just want you to know that I am so happy that you guys have Gabe in your lives to share all of this with us. Nick and family, thank you so much for sharing your lives with me, us. Sorry, i was with mom, crying and could understand how she feels and how your dad feels as well as Kira and, you Nick do. Gabe is truly an angel ! I'm so happy that you and your family are spreading the awareness of Down Syndrome. All of you are very special and loving people. A HUGE thank you, to your family. Sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and hugs 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 to each of you.
I love hearing your story and the relationship between brothers. Oh, what joy it is seeing their pure love expressed. I have 4 older brothers, and they don't have anything like that relationship. When you mentioned Gabe watching Jaws, I thought of the line "we're going to need a bigger boat" which was what Dad and Mom said about the car and stroller at the beginning 😂❤. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope that many people hear this because there are some doctors and people that would say that someone pregnant with a baby with Downs should abort, and that is so wrong because there is so much joy that individuals with Downs share and life would be dull without them.❤🙏🏽✝️📖
My family experience with our Dan who is non verbal has been so much the same! Dan is now 59 years old and I (his sister) have become his guardian, he lives with me and my husband. He is wonderful just like your Gabe!
Your family is how ALL families should be!! I would love to hug Gabe!! So I'm sending a huge hug for Gabe virtually and much love and adoration for him.
I cannot express how grateful I am to learn about your family, In 1987 a very rich couple were told that their new born son had a hole in his heart, for them that was bad enough, they did not give him any cuddles. Then the diagnosis of Down syndrome, I received the call from the male donor, not a dad in any shape or form in my mind. To say keep it ! Still dealing with his words 50 years later btw. He was adopted his name changed from William to Joshua by a single male parent. His son who had kidney problems, when asked where did you get Joshua from, not by me, was Camden County Council! I do not know what happened to Joshua after leaving the unit I then worked in, I do know that he was loved. That I was able to speak to his actual biological father as if he was a human, haunts me to this day, Nurse professionalism no politician can ever EVER understand EVER! My wish was to do harm to that man and his wife, their poor 10 year old son having parents like them!
I watched it I watched it all I just love you guys and I love love your little brother he's so sweet wish I could hug him myself you are amazing and amazing family keep up the good work love you all
I love your family so much. You will never know how much you have helped me to understand Down Syndrome. My 3 month old great grandson has Downs. Thank you for sharing about the Gabe had in his early years. health issues. My grandson will have open heart surgery in April. So again thank you for this video.
Mum, I exactly know what your feeling wanting to know what Gabe is thinking, our grandson has autism, he is almost 11 now and has a twin sister who thinks she is 21, we have all worked so hard with him we had been told when he was a baby that he wouldn't be able to go to main stream school but he does, he is the best thing in all our lives, his twin sister looks after him but he has to do the same as anyone else, he is lazy, if he can get away with things he will, he brings light and fun into our world but how I wish I knew what was going on in his head, and about crying mum, you cry as much as you want just as I do. Love to you all. Xxx
Hi Safier family. I know what you went through with Gabriel. I also was born with Tetrology of the Fallot (holes in the heart), but I had 3 (2 in the heart & 1 in the mitral valve) and I had to wait til I was 5 yrs old to have them patched up. I was born in 1969 and they didn't operate on newborns back then. I also was born with Pulmonic stenosis and Ventricular Tachycardia (both diagnosed in 2002 & 2001 respectively. I had 2 daughters by c-section due to the fact my 1st born's (1996) heart rate went down very low and I found out that the cord wrapped around her throat & the second one (1998) was elective due to the dangers of v-back. I'm so happy that he's now healthy and makes everyone's day & you all are so close. Luv you guys.
I truly agree I have a child with a lot going on and there was only one teacher Mrs Brighty she worked so hard with each and everyone who was in her classroom and she filled everyone needs I really loved this teacher she was the best teacher ever
I usually only saw your UA-cam shorts. I Really enjoyed this. I have twins and my daughter has twins and there’s several other sets of twins in my family ❤️
Thank you so much for accepting Gabe with his condition. Gabe is a very special guy and loving. Bless your family and you all in the name of Jesus. Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys inspire me everyday. Gabriel reminds me of my sister that passed at the age of 8 she would have been the same age as Gabriel. I would like to meet you guys one day.
I love and admire this video for everyone in it ..but I want to mention gabes beautiful sister here . So humble, so accepting and probably a little over looked due to being a twin of Gabriel . You are his rock sweetie , as are all his family, but you deserve a special mention from my heart . I have a daughter with Down syndrome but thankfully her brother had a lot of attention before she cam along . Shout out to you for being there ..from the very beginning ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope you never stop as long as Gabe is comfortable, until every last person in this country changes the way they view downs. Big assignment I know but it’s already working. I don’t know who raised Nicky but they’ve -he -she have done a remarkable job. I’m happy for your family absolutely nothing is or went wrong, simply perfect.
This is how I wanted my family life to be like but mine kinda put me in protection bubble and at the same time I was treated like an outcast because I was different than the rest of my younger siblings and my cousins I'm older than them I've grown up trying to be an advocate for myself at the same time!!! While i was growing with being learning disabilities and wanting to learn what others were learning in other classes to me it was hard i was always bullied growing up because I was different and or others just didn't like me for no reason.. i love learning especially now in my 50's .. God bless you all YOU are such beautiful family,💯😇 im not going to lie i some times I think back when I went to the special Olympics and playdays really get to meet new people from other school districts !!💯 One of my favorite things to do back in the Early 80's
OMG. Gaby was transferred to Danville Pennsylvania? My daughter was born in Danville Pennsylvania at the Children's Hospital. And had to have three open heart surgeries. She doesn't have Down syndrome but she does have a heart condition. She was born in 1996 and the doctor that did her surgery on her heart was Dr Christian Gilbert. That's amazing and we only live like 20 minutes away from Danville Pennsylvania
I watched this from beginning to end. And the tears that I have are complete Joy for your family. I have several family members with disabilities, on different levels, and I totally agree with you, you learn so much from them, even when you're not trying. Thank you for sharing your story with us 💓

You are a beautifully real family and the love is tremendous. Kudos to you for teaching each other how to be compassionate and what an excellent role model you all are for the world. As a social worker who has worked with children with disabilities and knows the potential that they all have, it is clear that you do too. I started following your lovely family because I have a brother Nicholas (Nicky/Nick) and his son, my nephew’s name is Gabriel (Gaby) and now I follow and subscribe because I need this to remind why I am a social worker. I also laugh, cry, and enjoy your videos with you. Thank you 🙏🏻 😊🫶
Think of him on the couch as a HUGE blessing.Your guardian angel is alive and living with you.Think of him as watching over you from a distance.I love how yall are with Gabriel. It is absolutely the sweetest thing ever to watch yall together.Yall are just great.❤😊
Gabe is such a blessing to everyone who comes in cotact with him either in person or on youtube.. I know he has his medical issues, I know life looks different for him and your family, but he is the BIGGEST blessing on youtube.. I love you all..
My dear family…..I have seen this video before, but not the whole thing…..I am the Grandma speaking from Southern California…..I have something to add that I have noticed from looking in from me being on the outside; When Kira comes home from school, or Mom is with Dad when you pick up Kira from school…..Mom always gives Kira a very long and loving hug to her daughter! There is a lot of emotion on both sides of that beautiful hug! It is a Mother-Daughter kind of love! And I see it! I also see the very special bond that Kira and Gabe have! I truly love your family! Thank you for sharing your wonderful selves with us!❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙🥰❤️🥰💙
Absolutely love your Family and Thank each and everyone of you allowing us to be apart of your beautiful Family
I can relate so much to so many of the things each of you talked about. As a parent of a special needs disabled child, I went through the educational process. I too went into his first IEP (Individual Educational Plan) very naively. Boy did I learn quickly that I had to speak up. Sometimes very firmly. Brad, like Gabe was very loving to everyone. He was unable to speak because of paralyzed vocal chords, but he was quite clever at getting his point across. He had a tracheostomy since he was 7 weeks old. He was also paralyzed from waist down. With his tracheostomy, feeding tube, a catheter always in his bladder, sleeping on a ventilator and other health issues. Like Gabe’s mother said she always wanted to be able to communicate with him. To know what he wants or for him to express where he hurts or t let you know he is hungry. We were told Brad was 8 years old developmentally but he also had a much broader understanding of many things in life. I used to lean over to him and whisper I knew he knew. He would give me a nod and a big smile. He was always my angel. His older brother and younger sister was always very protective and would speak up if they new he was being disrespected. Sadly my angel grew wings on February 4, 2020. He was 37 years old. Pretty good for the baby doctors said he would never get past One.
There is nothing like a moms love for her children
Nicky, from the first video I saw of you and Gabe I was hooked. You were coming home and you went running up the steps to see him. My heart melted. Thank you for sharing your family with me, you guys crack me up.
Your family is soooooooo special! And Nick is a genius and compassionate!
You are all so beautiful! Wonderful family.
Your family is so blessed. Gabe is a blessing!!! I love that you share with us all.
Geisinger in Danville is a excellent hospital. We had to stay there for a week when my husband had cancer removed from his bladder. Awesome nurse's and doctors!❤❤❤
I just came across your videos and I felt in love with your beautiful family I cry just watching and seeing the love you all have for each other.
I absolutely loved hearing about your family. You are all so open & amazing people. I think Gab has touched all our hearts. ❤ Thank you for sharing your family’s story with us. Love 2 you all from the UK .🇬🇧 xxxx
Unwavering love I love how you describe Gabe such a big heart he is well mannered
What a beautiful video ! I have seen chunks but to get to see this entire video together was so beautiful ❤️. I just want you to know that I am so happy that you guys have Gabe in your lives to share all of this with us. Nick and family, thank you so much for sharing your lives with me, us. Sorry, i was with mom, crying and could understand how she feels and how your dad feels as well as Kira and, you Nick do. Gabe is truly an angel ! I'm so happy that you and your family are spreading the awareness of Down Syndrome. All of you are very special and loving people. A HUGE thank you, to your family. Sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and hugs 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂 to each of you.
What a beautiful family. Love you Gabriel.
I love your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your life with us, teaching us gratitude, patience, and kindness. I am glad I found your page ❤
I love hearing your story and the relationship between brothers. Oh, what joy it is seeing their pure love expressed. I have 4 older brothers, and they don't have anything like that relationship. When you mentioned Gabe watching Jaws, I thought of the line "we're going to need a bigger boat" which was what Dad and Mom said about the car and stroller at the beginning 😂❤.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope that many people hear this because there are some doctors and people that would say that someone pregnant with a baby with Downs should abort, and that is so wrong because there is so much joy that individuals with Downs share and life would be dull without them.❤🙏🏽✝️📖
Absolutely 💯 loving ,caring family just a wonderful time watching you all
My family experience with our Dan who is non verbal has been so much the same! Dan is now 59 years old and I (his sister) have become his guardian, he lives with me and my husband. He is wonderful just like your Gabe!
What A Very Moving And Blessing Of A Story. I Thank All Of You For Sharing, Thank You!
It 's Gabe 's world & we are lucky to lucky to live in it !!@
i am so proud of this amazing family.this is a great blessing from God to you guys. great blessings.
I wish we could have seen photos of Mom & Dad when they were in High School.
Your family is how ALL families should be!! I would love to hug Gabe!! So I'm sending a huge hug for Gabe virtually and much love and adoration for him.
I know exactly how mom felt, being back at that memory was scary and a huge change in life. My love and heart goes out to you ❤️
GB, ya all always! Thank you for sharing your story. Love this family. Ya make my day and night. So must love. ❤🙏👍👏👏👏👏
Loving beautiful family. God bless you all. Amen 🙏 👼💖💖💖
I cannot express how grateful I am to learn about your family, In 1987 a very rich couple were told that their new born son had a hole in his heart, for them that was bad enough, they did not give him any cuddles. Then the diagnosis of Down syndrome, I received the call from the male donor, not a dad in any shape or form in my mind. To say keep it ! Still dealing with his words 50 years later btw. He was adopted his name changed from William to Joshua by a single male parent. His son who had kidney problems, when asked where did you get Joshua from, not by me, was Camden County Council! I do not know what happened to Joshua after leaving the unit I then worked in, I do know that he was loved. That I was able to speak to his actual biological father as if he was a human, haunts me to this day, Nurse professionalism no politician can ever EVER understand EVER! My wish was to do harm to that man and his wife, their poor 10 year old son having parents like them!
i love your family so much you show so much love and care you are all awesome thank for everything you are the best
Praise our God and Father for you all and Gabe. Love naturally comes out of him, he knows only love.
I watched it I watched it all I just love you guys and I love love your little brother he's so sweet wish I could hug him myself you are amazing and amazing family keep up the good work love you all
I love your family so much. You will never know how much you have helped me to understand Down Syndrome. My 3 month old great grandson has Downs. Thank you for sharing about the Gabe had in his early years.
health issues. My grandson will have open heart surgery in April.
So again thank you for this video.
Hi is so lovely of you all to tell us all about your family to be so so honest it must be hard at times
Mum, I exactly know what your feeling wanting to know what Gabe is thinking, our grandson has autism, he is almost 11 now and has a twin sister who thinks she is 21, we have all worked so hard with him we had been told when he was a baby that he wouldn't be able to go to main stream school but he does, he is the best thing in all our lives, his twin sister looks after him but he has to do the same as anyone else, he is lazy, if he can get away with things he will, he brings light and fun into our world but how I wish I knew what was going on in his head, and about crying mum, you cry as much as you want just as I do. Love to you all. Xxx
Hi Safier family. I know what you went through with Gabriel. I also was born with Tetrology of the Fallot (holes in the heart), but I had 3 (2 in the heart & 1 in the mitral valve) and I had to wait til I was 5 yrs old to have them patched up. I was born in 1969 and they didn't operate on newborns back then. I also was born with Pulmonic stenosis and Ventricular Tachycardia (both diagnosed in 2002 & 2001 respectively. I had 2 daughters by c-section due to the fact my 1st born's (1996) heart rate went down very low and I found out that the cord wrapped around her throat & the second one (1998) was elective due to the dangers of v-back. I'm so happy that he's now healthy and makes everyone's day & you all are so close. Luv you guys.
Said through tears..BRAVO!
I am learning so much from your videos. Beautiful accompaniment for a mentally challenged member of the family ❤
You are all so loving and inspirational I love you all very much
I truly agree I have a child with a lot going on and there was only one teacher Mrs Brighty she worked so hard with each and everyone who was in her classroom and she filled everyone needs I really loved this teacher she was the best teacher ever
I usually only saw your UA-cam shorts. I Really enjoyed this. I have twins and my daughter has twins and there’s several other sets of twins in my family ❤️
Warmest greeting to Gabe and Family from Indonesia. All the best.
Thank you so much for accepting Gabe with his condition. Gabe is a very special guy and loving. Bless your family and you all in the name of Jesus. Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You guys inspire me everyday. Gabriel reminds me of my sister that passed at the age of 8 she would have been the same age as Gabriel. I would like to meet you guys one day.
I love and admire this video for everyone in it ..but I want to mention gabes beautiful sister here . So humble, so accepting and probably a little over looked due to being a twin of Gabriel . You are his rock sweetie , as are all his family, but you deserve a special mention from my heart . I have a daughter with Down syndrome but thankfully her brother had a lot of attention before she cam along . Shout out to you for being there ..from the very beginning ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was extremely beautiful to watch. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it!
I hope you never stop as long as Gabe is comfortable, until every last person in this country changes the way they view downs. Big assignment I know but it’s already working. I don’t know who raised Nicky but they’ve -he -she have done a remarkable job. I’m happy for your family absolutely nothing is or went wrong, simply perfect.
This is how I wanted my family life to be like but mine kinda put me in protection bubble and at the same time I was treated like an outcast because I was different than the rest of my younger siblings and my cousins I'm older than them I've grown up trying to be an advocate for myself at the same time!!! While i was growing with being learning disabilities and wanting to learn what others were learning in other classes to me it was hard i was always bullied growing up because I was different and or others just didn't like me for no reason.. i love learning especially now in my 50's .. God bless you all YOU are such beautiful family,💯😇 im not going to lie i some times I think back when I went to the special Olympics and playdays really get to meet new people from other school districts !!💯 One of my favorite things to do back in the Early 80's
OMG. Gaby was transferred to Danville Pennsylvania? My daughter was born in Danville Pennsylvania at the Children's Hospital. And had to have three open heart surgeries. She doesn't have Down syndrome but she does have a heart condition. She was born in 1996 and the doctor that did her surgery on her heart was Dr Christian Gilbert. That's amazing and we only live like 20 minutes away from Danville Pennsylvania
What an amazing story. Getting to know all of you has touched my heart. 💖. I feel so calm, Gabe is my hero!!! 😘
You guys such a good nice family. I’m jealous ❤God bless your family.
I watched this from beginning to end. And the tears that I have are complete Joy for your family.
I have several family members with disabilities, on different levels, and I totally agree with you, you learn so much from them, even when you're not trying.
Thank you for sharing your story with us 💓
It is very obvious in other videos that Gabe is loved beyond measure....the look on his face when he is looking at your mom, absolutely priceless.💞💕💞💕
