godbless u

godbless u

They're just normal teenagers.

They are amazing young women, Have a fab future Abby and Brittany

I was touched by the attitudes and behavior of their friends and teachers. The girls are accepted as normal, which, in their minds, they are. That English teacher is a the kind of teacher all students should have.

Just wanted to say how much I admire you girls for your great attitude and positive outlook on life. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do with your lives.

An inspiring story of two beautiful young ladies! God bless you girls and much happiness to you both through the years!

wow!!!! you girls are amazing. im so inspired by you both and you have tought me to love my own sister as if she was my other half. i send all my love to you both and i pray every night for your health and hope you have a long happy life together. ily!

You girls are so beautiful. I live in the Twin Cities area and I see you out and about once in a while. I'm sorry that people make you feel uncomfortable. People forget that we are all unique in our own way, some people's uniqueness is visible and some not. You are both an example to our community. I wish you all the best in your future.

The very first time that I saw you 2 was when Iwas going thru the TV channels and saw yous 2 on channle 9.I iam an Australian person.It was amazing how you 2 do thigs togeather and do your best and have fun.

Impresive. I think they are strongest teenage persons at earth. It's hard to talking about them. I don't know them at all. But i say: "They are beter then lot's of the others!!!" I sent salutation from Olomouc, city in Czech republic!

My family was on the same cruise as Abby and Brittany and their mom this past spring....they are friendly and polite; typical teenage girls who like to have fun. It's obvious that they were raised to respect others....I just hope they receive the respect they deserve from people who feel "entitled" to ask questions. They seem like well-adjusted teenagers with a very loving mom. Good luck in your futures, girls!!

hello brit&abby.you two young laidies are an inspiration.i also seen your tv apperance.when you turnd 16.if more people had your out look on life.we would live in a much happier world.you two girls have personality plus.good luck to you both in your future.

i went bowling yesterday and i saw the girls there....i am also a twin.

I just watched your special on TLC. You two are awesome. I was stationed in Duluth for 8 yearsin the Air Force, so I know the weather you have to deal with. LOL. Both of you are such an inspiration. I am so glad to see the two of you adapting so well to everything this world has to offer. You are two beautiful young ladies. I think it is so cool to watch two personalities come out. Congrads on getting your drivers license. Best of luck in everything you do.

Hi girls,
I met you in person a few years ago. At the Loveland,Colo Wal-mart. Do either of you remember that? I said Hello and let you both know that I saw you on tv.
Thanks for sharing with the world how things are going.
Congrats of the dmv tests.

I was just watching the 16th birthday episode on TLC. All I can say is you girls are awesome. I am sure you have a hard life and whatever you do don't let anyone tell you you are different. you are an inspiration for all to see and hear about. take care and don't change. be yourselves.

Hi, Abby and Brittany. I have twin sister's who are both, 28 year's, old. They are not conjoined, but, one of them named, Caroline, just became a nurse, and, my other sister Devon, has a rare nerve disease, called, "RSDS". If you girl's go on the website: RSDHope.org it will tell you more about her, disease. Devon, has only had this disease for, 3 1/2 year's but, she hopes to feel better, soon. Anyhow, I am there older sister, and, I wish you to, the best in, college. And, have a good, rest of this, short summer, and just think, "You girl's can now vote, and, buy, lottery, tickets".

Hey Brittany and Abby, i just saw that 16th Birthday episode on TLC last night. i was completly impressed with the way you approach the world! I wish everyone could have the same positive outlook on life as you share! way to go girls! you are an inspiration to everyone around the globe!

I've followed Abby and Brittany from afar for years, and have always loved their spunky personalities. I hope they let the world know what they are up to these days. Things change a lot between 16 and 18!

Abby & Brittany are truly an inspiration for all of us whiners that find things to complain about every day. You are two amazing women with character and personalities with no limitations!

Hey Abby and Brittany. First of all i want to wish both of you a happy belated birthday and i hope your sweet sixteen was everything you hoped for. After watching the video of your sixteenth birthday i came to realize how much hardship you guys must face during a day. I have an identical twin brother named Krys and we pretty much do and have done everything together since we were well as far back as i can remember at least lol. I wanted to congradulate you two for getting your drivers liscence i think that is how you spell it.. anyways my next real positive comment is too your mom, i apoligize because i did not get her name but i found what she was told by news reporters and magazine groups top be absolutely appauling. Saying that she needs to give the world an explaination to how you too came to be. I know if i swear they will probably take this comment off so i will hold my tongue on any foul language, but seriously had i have been there at that exact moment i would have punched that guy in the face, or would have told off the person to have every even thought that they deserved an explaination. i can kind of relate to you guys cept of course not being physically connected. My brother has a birthmark that covers about half of his chest from the center of his stomach to about the center of his back. I know how it must feel to be looked at with strange looks and it makes me sad that the world has become so harsh. You two are a miracle of life, never forget that. seriously next time anyone tries to get pictures of you or says anything that is mean or vulgar , than yeah get in there face about it. Everytime someone makes fun or eyeballs my brothers stomach the wrong way, i make it my business to lets just say, solve the problem. Ihope that this reaches you guys or at least that you read these posts. You two are amazing and i wish you both the best of luck

Wow! What a fine work God has made with you two. I saw you get your licenses on TLC and want to cheer you on with your challenging lives. I couldn't have imagined your situation (I still can't.) when I wrote this poem a few months ago. I was in the pediatric ward of U of I hospital with my daughter who has P.A.N.D.A.S. That's a rare disorder where the immune system attacks the brain. I was reminded of the varied challenges of the children in that ward and how God has used such things to do marvelous work. I now feel compelled to pass you "The Potter's China".

God is the Potter, we are the pots.
Fearfully and wonderfully made are we.
Yet only the Potter has His wishes with the pots.
Many are made for common purposes.
Practically suited for everyday uses.
For some less practical,
Everyday chores are awkward and difficult.
Still others can't do them at all.
For what good are they suited?
They need so much care!
We may think them more cursed
But oh don't we dare.
The lame, the blind,
The deaf, the ill and slow of mind.
All are works of the same Potter's masterful hand.
When special occasions arrive,
Everyday place settings just won't do.
We would miss them completely,
Except off of the shelf and out of the hutches
Come the most wonderful works of the Potter's craft.
It's in the special moments of life they shine.
They who won't do for everyday use,
Are the Potter's China so fine.

May you both place every day but always know you're finer than an everyday place setting.

Hi Abby and Brittney. I watched your story 2 yrs ago and then I actually saw you at Ridgedale Mall but I did not realize it was you as I did not recall you lived in MN. That is soo cool. I live near Maple Grove and work in Wayzata. You two are so beautiful and have such awesome attitudes about life! I have an identical twin too by the way. Hope you are enjoying being 18!!

Hi Abby and Britany,
I dont usually do this online thing but I felt compelled to after watching you guys on TLC get your license. Frist of all CONGRATULATIONS!!! Please be careful - there are many crazy drivers out there.
Secondly I would like you to know I really admire the way you live your lives and I say this because many of us who are not cojoined do not live as fully as you two do. John 10:10.
God created you in His image and likeness and He has made you perfect. My prayer for you is that you completely fulfill His calling on your lives as you live abundantly. I don't know what that may be, but I pray that you have listening ears for Him and open hearts to be obedient to Him as He speaks to you.
Please do not think I am presumptious... I really do not know you and do not know how your life is. I just pray for you that you will continue to live as God wants you to and not limit Him to human understanding...He is much bigger.
Where ever the future takes you, remember that God has you in the palm of His hands and He is more that able to see you through.
Also your mum is great!

God bless you and your family all the days of your lives.

Umm..I personally think they are great they do things together without fighting and i dont kno any teenage sister who can do that.I know some people would say they feel sorry for them but i think datsthe best thing that can happen to someone.Don't jugde them they are amazing!!!!

Alexis Lowery

You are lovely girls.

Amazing. I wish you the best always!

Congrats on the Licence!! Hope you all are doing well. It is so funny how half the world feels like they know you because of your documentaries. For me, personally, it really does feel like I know you, better than people I see on a regular basis. Even though you would'nt know the difference between me and Paris Hilton I know so much about the two of you it feels like family. I hope that isn't annoying. I suppose it gets old having strangers treat you like they have known you forever.
I'm sure you get all kinds of people invading your privacy along with the paparazi. I promise I will do my best not to annoy you if we ever do meet. However, I have a super fine 17yo son who is single and starting college and opening his own business soon. You never know?? Maybe I could end up really in the family. I think I would make a great mother-in-law to any young woman. My oldest daughter is getting married next summer, and so far the son-in-law to be is being quite the gentleman. Well enough about me.
I pray you girls keep up with what you are doing because from where I'm standing you each are amazing and would make any mother proud.
All my love,
Maggie

You are such wonderful and delightful girls!!
I wish you both great happiness in the future, and I hope all your dreams come true.
Thank you for sharing your lives.
I know you are an inspiration to many teenage girls!

You guys are amazing!

I attend college with a friend of yours and she says nothing but wonderful things about you girls! I am so glad that the two of your ladies are able to live such normal, wonderful lives!

Hi Abby and Brit ~
How are you 2? I saw your grad pix in the insert in the LOCAL paper (your moms maiden name is big in my town) and the pix turned out very nice ~ How did graduation go? How did your parents get through it? My son graduated this past May as well, it was hard to see my oldest child go through that process, only because it is such a HUGE step for a parent, sometimes I think more-so than for the student themself.
Anyway, if you 2 made it to the college it stated in the insert, best of luck to you both ~~

A Mom

You girls are amazing! I wish you both the absolute best! You are really lucky in many ways compared to "normal" people too. I am not sure if you realize how loney it is living alone in one body. That's how it is for everyone "normal". I quote "normal" because it is of course relative. Your situation is "normal" for you, but for those living alone in one body, this is normal and your situation is not. Anyway, be glad that you will never feel the terrible empty feeling of aloneness. You will always have each other, you'll never be alone! That's a great gift.

yeh soon youll hate it people are always staring
