It is often said that love conquers all, and a recent video of a heartwarming reunion illustrates the point. The reunion is even sweeter because the two young people involved have overcome so many obstacles in their lives and in their relationship.

Gabi Angelini and Nick Doyle first met each other at a convention hosted by the National Down Syndrome Society in Detroit. Both Gabi and Nick have Down Syndrome and are advocates working to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to thrive in their communities. Gabi has started a business that employs the disabled and Nick enjoys performing in a Down Syndrome improv group.

Nick and Gabi took an instant liking to one another and were inseparable during the convention. However, when it was time to leave, they realized that seeing each other again might be a problem because they lived so far from each other - Gabi lives in Raleigh, North Carolina and Nick lives in Canton, Ohio. Another issue was that Nick had not thought to get Gabi’s phone number.

Thanks to the power of social media, the lovebirds reconnected via Facebook and communicated with each other every day. Nick and Gabi were able to reunite for three days at a Downs Syndrome convention in Pittsburgh. After the Pittsburgh trip, Gabi was really down and expressed to her mom that she really missed Nick. That is when Nick and Gabi’s moms decided to surprise the pair with another opportunity to see each other reports The Daily Mail.

When Gabi realized that she was not in Ohio for another Down’s Syndrome convention, but to see Nick, she was overjoyed. Nick, who thought he was going to the airport to pick up a different friend, literally dropped to his knees when he saw Gabi walking toward him in the airport. When he stood up, Gabi ran and threw her arms around his neck and the two embraced enthusiastically – a moment that was captured on video by Nick’s mom.
