Nick and Gabi met and
fell in love while attending a conference of the National Down Syndrome Society. Nick lives in Ohio and Gabi in North
Carolina. When the conference concluded
they forgot to exchange telephone numbers.
The couple met up again
in Pittsburgh for another conference but were devastated when they had to leave
each other again. Gabi broke down crying to her mom, telling her how much
she missed Nick.
Gabi’s
mom reached out to Nick’s mom and together they hatched a plan to get the
lovebirds back together. Gabi and her
mom booked a flight to visit Nick in his hometown, but Gabi was told she was going
to another conference and Nick was told he was going to the airport to pick up
a friend who needed a ride home.
The
heartwarming moment Nick is reunited with Gabi is captured
on video. Nick briefly walks away in
disbelief and Gabi runs towards him dropping her bags. As they embrace you can hear Nick say her
name over and over again and if you listen carefully, you can hear him say, “This
is the reason I stay alive.”
Nick’s
mom said, “People with Down Syndrome have no ‘warm-up’ time when it comes to
love. They lean in and love fully.”
This
is Nick and Gabi’s first relationship and their moms are confident there will
be weddings bells for the couple down the road.
“You've
gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
