Teen Years

Daughter posts snaps with her mum on her last day of school, and we are emotional wrecks

Gabrielle Yowell began her first day at school in 2004, and thirteen years later, she is now graduating and heading off to college.

But at the end of her first day thirteen years ago, an amazing image was captured of her running toward her mum Lizzette’s arms to embrace.

And now, the Albany 18-year-old has re-created the special moment on her last day of school, saying:

“First day of kindergarten to graduation and my mom is still as proud as ever.”

Gabrielle is the oldest child in her family, therefore her family are incredibly proud of her achievements. 

The latest image, taken by her dad, was tweeted side by side with the old shot and they have sparked a massive online response.

With over 80K retweets of the unique pictures, users have been incredibly supportive of Gabrielle's journey.

We are welling up right now, how cute are these?
