It's so disgusting that people can be so cruel. It just infuriates me. She is a survivor.
FooLMe Slick'Em I agree. It also infuriated me that people didn’t help her get back into her wheelchair. This disgusting behavior has to be completely erased from humanity. Like how would those who laughed and bullied her feel if they were going through the same issues she had gone through. This is why I don’t have very much faith in humanity because of situations like this.
if anything SHE is cruel, she let those babies suffer simply because she "wanted" them. Its fucking sick if you think about it.
Christine just shut the fuck up and dig a hole and just be there, nobody needs your shit negativity
Looks like the world love to see lives suffering because of their own will. May karma work on them and they feel the same pain as those poor twins. Also her twin sister died, imagine the pain and complications that may come afterwards. Of course, you all will not bear it but this girl WILL! 😡😡😡😡
Christine 1 of 2: you dont have a mother or you're not a mother. Either way, I feel sorry for you.
her story is so heart breaking.. but shes so honestly strong. and her makeup is god damn amazing! skill!!!!!
she's such a strong woman omg
YOI trash besides the makeup part and yes
YOI trash
YOI trash
I wish I had makeup skills like that! I can barely do basic makeup application. She definitely has a talent!
All around beautiful girl in fact
I don't understand how and why people could be so cruel. If I went to her school I would've given her a big hug and stood up for her!
I know, right? I endured a lot of bullying growing up because I needed special help with school. Of course, that made it that much harder for me, but I just reminded myself that they were the ones who had a problem, and that it's hard to understand someone else's struggles when you haven't experienced them yourself.
You know, a lot of people say that but you don't really see a lot of that happening. Funny, huh?
Me neither! I can't understand it at all...
I am a thirteen year old twin and if I were to lose my sister now, I would die of sadness. Gabrielle is so strong!
Petronella Piper I’m a twin too and if my twin sister died right now I would never recover and would probably go into severe depression. It is literally my worst night mare to lose her. It’s even scarier that when she was born there was a chance that her and my mum would have both died.
Ps I’m 13 too
Petronella Piper I am 14 and if I were to lose my twin sister I don’t know how I could function
having a leg doesn't make them freakk
What a tragic story... Was not ready for that this morning. Bless these beautiful women and my heart hurts for them for the loss of their lovely daughter/sister.
She's amazing at makeup !
Good luck in the future and stay strong 💕
thankyou i well stay strong
Omg this damned bullying is insane 🙁....
And she’s beautiful!
elizabeth is beautiful
I am so proud to say that this is my sister. How dare you disgusting people sit there and say that the abortion was the better option. Gabby is so beautiful and talented she deserved a shot at this life. My mother was NOT selfish for wanting to give my amazing sisters a chance at life. Gabby can sing, can draw, can write amazing poems. Just because she has one leg doesn’t mean she’s any different from anyone else. If Kayla was still here on this earth she would be amazing to but god had other plans for her. She wrote the doctors for help so that she can have a better life so she is not suffering so much. So if you don’t know what my family has been through I suggest you shut your mouth. She is strong and beautiful I love you so much chicken! 💞
chicken nuggy I'm so sorry people are so hasty towards your family. Don't listen to heartless people.
Umm?
Blow It like a flute idk as well
chicken nuggy I completely agree with u. Ur sister is beautiful
chicken nuggy such an amazing sister you have! While I was watching I thought of Bethany Hamiltons Foundation. Maybe your sister would like to be a part of what Bethany is doing. She has a limb difference women's conference every year. It would a great experience for her I'm sure. God bless you all 🙏
Logic of the modern time:
IT'S DISGUSTING TO ABORT A BABY. EVERY CHILD SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE.
Also Logic of the modern time:
WHY WOULD YOU SUBJECT A BABY TO THAT SORT OF ABUSE. SELFISH MOTHER.
LeBonBon V2 She’s not selfish at all. She wanted to give her children a fighting chance and although one of her daughters died the other one is living for herself and her late sister. She had to overcome high school being ridiculed and laughed at god puts obstacles in our way for a reason just because it seems like no one should live that way doesn’t give us the right to take their life away from them before they have a chance. She’s in college and getting a degree she’s doing well for herself
Wild Yoda Did you understand the comment? They were comparing a double standard in our society, not his/her personal thoughts
Wild Yoda u have made me lose faith in humanity
My Galaxy World 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Mandy Lubinski yeah I did I just gave my opinion on the matter
I will never understand how a person can just stand there and laugh at someone clearly in pain. She's so strong and I hope with everything that she lives a wonderful and happy life. She deserves it
This is so touching. How cruel could human beings be smh. Bless her heart such pretty girls.
This breaks my heart to see how sad she is but at the same time, WHAT A MESSAGE of determination and love. Such an amazing young lady.
People who sent hate to her are disgusting. Everyone deserves a chance at life.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh army 😂😂😂
BTS' 8th member I agree
I’m still trying to understand how the surgery worked.
this makes me never want to complain again 😢💜 we take so much for granted man, so proud of her x
Im crying so hard why do good people suffer in this world my heart goes out to her and she lost her best friend im so sorry and those bullies will face there own karma i can't believe thst people can be so cold and evil
She’s drop dead gorgeous and has been through so much and she’s only still so young. She does it for herself and for her sister, god bless her!!
shes beautiful. her makeup is actually on point too
This young lady is so beautiful and strong. The bullies are weak cowards.
She is such a beautiful girl. I admire the strength of the mother and the daughters.
this girl is so strong. she has such a great attitude towards life even though her sister died.
i applaud the mom for giving them life. i want to hug the daughter who lost her sister. you brave and strong. you can do it.
how heart breaking but they're both strong and beautiful❤❤
I have an identical twin and I cant imagine life without her... I am so sorry hun...
As a twin myself. I can’t even imagine having my twin taken away, I would give up on life. She’s so strong! You can do this!
Aye ! drop your sister’s insta I wanna see for myself how strong she is

X.h
I'm a twin I can't imagine losing my sister and I'm 66 years old now my prayers are with you you're a very strong and beautiful young woman keep up the good fight
this poor family is so strong and beautiful
This is an absolutely amazing story. These girls survived an extremely risky procedure, and survived! Sadly, one of them passed away :( but it is AMAZINGG how Gabrielle is still fighting today with all of her health issues, and is doing good in school! I am so proud of her, and wish her the best! Xoxoxo
Gabrielle seems like such a lovely person. I really hope she's able to get help for the issues she's having and in return be in less pain and be able to enjoy life more! I would love to follow her journey if she has any public social media profiles
I have a twin sister and I could not imagine a life without her
I can't stop crying. God bless her and her amazing strength.
Gabrielle- you are a brave and strong girl, your sister is looking out for you from above and your family too is very very proud of you.
She is so beautiful and strong may ur sister sip and mom ur amazing u didnt listen to the haters god bless u keep being strong
How could anyone be so cruel? But be strong and know your sister is in a better place
i have a twin, and even though we weren’t conjoined, or even identical, the thought of losing her breaks my heart. i can’t imagine her pain.
She is inspiration
Gabby and her mother are inspiring. Gabby you are a beautiful woman and I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how difficult your day to day life is. Please stay strong, girl.
She is so beautiful too!! So happy she survived
Big hug Gabrielle you are so beautiful. Stay strong. Your sister is protecting you still,She never left❤
If only more girls/women were as kind, humble and determined as her. She also has a beautiful face and voice.
That's so sad. I'm crying. I'm so sorry for you gabby. Stay strong, and know that everyone is here for you
Oh my gosh, such a wonderful woman. God bless her and her family!
That family is so strong and so beautiful.
I just can't believe that people would call strangers as freaks for no reasons. Hate mails sent to the mother just because she refused to abort her unborn conjoined twins? These hateful people are the real freaks, not the conjoined twins. Both twins were beautiful when they were born and she is still amazingly beautiful.
This is really heart breaking..I'm sorry for your sister and your story :(
She's so pretty. So sad to see what she has to go through stay strong girl. I'm sure your sister is proud of you
What a beautiful and lovely girl. She's so brave and patient after enduring so much. I really admire her sunny disposition.
For the first time in this year, I actually cried tears of sadness.
The way it sounds, it was a terrible idea to get them separated because one died from infection and the other is suffering physically and also mentally.
Autumn Swift gabby is NOT suffering in any way.! She is an amazing strong woman. You don't know her so don't put you thought into it.!
kathleen long But she is.
Autumn Swift no she's fucking not I grew up with these girls I'm actually sitting with gabby right now she is absolutely no was suffering.!
Thank god someone agrees with such topic. It wasn't medically correct to separate them she should have let them live as they are. More survival as conjoined twins than surgically separation where more infection caused for one to die.
kathleen long she said she had kidney stones and that they're painful. She said she doesn't feel good 90% of the time.
Awwww shes so beautiful! Her sister too! And I'm proud of that mother !!!!
People can be so cruel😢😢😢 ! She is a strong pretty gul and thanks to her mum for giving her a chance.
Sweet Angel. I wish you the very best in life.
This is so heartbreaking! Prayers for you and your family!
I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister. You are a beautiful girl who will go far. ❤️
i feel so bad for her. I can't imagine my own twin sister dying. We've known each other our whole life
What a beautiful young lady, I feel sorry for her sister :(
Rip to her sister 😔💔🌹! Both of the twins are special and beautiful people! Stay strong! This is truly heartbreaking
The surviving twins story is sooo sad!!! God bless her strong heart
Such a beautiful girl. I am so sorry she has had to go through the trauma of losing her twin sister and then to have others out you down and treat you like you don’t matter or that you don’t have feelings. People are downright cruel and they do it intentionally. It’s disgusting really!
This world is a cruel place. May God bless you and protect you every day! Be strong.
I’m so Sorry for her losing her sister :/ So strong and beautiful girl! God bless you Gabriel..
She’s so pretty omg
Beautiful girl your makeup is ON POINT. Keep going strong
Beautiful young lady inside and out. You are an absolute inspiration. Wishing you all the happiness in this world. God bless you and your family.
She is beautiful, inside and out. I am happy she was given a chance at life. I can't say the same about some she/they encounter in life. She will get stronger. She has a beautiful angel watching over her everyday.
Her story is heart breaking but so inspirational! She’s dated strong through everything! You go girl! It’s shocking how ppl now days can be so mean! Conjoined twins are not freaks!
She’s beautiful , strong , brave
Omg I did not expect to cry like this.
She’s so fricking gorgeous and i believe she will get through all of the trouble!❤️
May your hearts rest in the sky with hers.
I have a twin sister and I can't even imagine my life with out her .she is my bestfriend sinc Day 1.this girl is so brave . I couldn't have.
I could never even imagine having a 12 hour surgery. By not even a year old these two children have been more brave than I ever could be. It must have been very difficult with them, but it’s important that they have happy, full lives.
This made me cry. You are so strong. Good bless you
This is so very sad and will most definitely make you appreciate life.
Shes a beautiful and smart girl, may God bless this family
She is truly an inspiration to the whole world and my god she is beautiful. She has the most cute voice ever. Wish she never had to experience loosing her dear sister and those cruel people. It’s just so typical for some humans to be awful against anything different 😧
Bless her strength, beauty and kind heart!
Ok but she is literally so beautiful ❤️
Aww she's so beautiful!! This is really sad, I so wish I could be her best friend.
I'm glad she gave them a chance. What a good mom:)
This is so sad and people can be so cruel,stay strong
Her story is amazing and so heartbreaking, you really could see she's a strong lady. I'm sorry for her loss, they both didn't deserve to get through this. She's amazing, she looks amazing. If someone calls her a monster ever again they deserve to rot in hell.
She's such a strong young woman
My god this broke my heart. She is so beautiful.
Beautiful. She has a pure heart of gold
She’s so beautiful and strong!!
So heartbreaking. What am amazing mum and amazing daughters. So sad that one passed away. Wish that lovely young woman all the best.
SHE IS SOOOOO STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL, SOOOOO SORRY FOR HER LOSS😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏!!!!!
What a beautiful young and courageous young woman...you were truly blessed mom...😊
Omg im so sorry for her younger sister 😯❤ shes goregous and i hope she continues doing well in life and god bless her and her family . Her mom is a true mother for not doing the abortion . Stay strong you guys !!!
This really made me cry I wish her sister was still alive so they could tell the untold story together
how can people be so horrible? I would be friends with her if I went to her school she is such a nice and brave person!
She’s so beautiful ! It’s so sad how the world is now stay strong! 💖
Bullying needs to end I can't take it anymorw
I feel so sorry for her.. I hope her the best and not to give up
I think we should all do something amazing for this young women ... we need to make light in her life and show her that she’s worth every little thing in the world. She’s just gorgeous , this made me tear up so much. I just want to give her a huge hug ❤️❤️❤️ comment/reply if you agree
This is so sad!! This story is so beautiful.
That’s sad. I’m glad where I live everyone is really nice and not fast to judge or judge at all. I wish she had a kinder community. Loved their story. I will be praying.
Katie Renea Does everyone in your community look like you? If so, maybe that's why your neighbors appear to be really nice and non-judgmental. Let someone who looks different move in, then see if they're still really nice!
