I live in that town. He is always happy and every time I go there he gives me a biggo hug

[@customerjon]

I am jealous of you. If you could tell him that Jonathan in Dallas loves him next time you see him it would be very cool of you.

[@toriperales4475]

I will try to remember. He is such a joyful man and always dancing and just goin with the flow and having fun

[@memetix7596]

[@toriperales4475]

He just moved his resturant to Colorado. So unfortunately I won't be able to :( I'm sorry

[@edwardkostreski6733]

This man is smarter than 99% of all "business experts" out there. It comes down to the love, and happiness is the most valuable thing on earth.

Boy this sure didn’t aged well lol So explain why his restaurant is close then after choosing love over business?

[@reidkyle5030]

@@sonicmoore6196 and he still has more love, happiness and fufillment in his life then you or probably anyone you know. Does that feel like winning?

[@AngryNerdBird]

Oh sweet Jesus, there's a hug counter on the wall. That makes me so happy.

[@gabrielajimenez2954]

Imagine going to work and having a boss with such a positive outlook on everything. That always gives his best every single day, that tells you they love you and that you’re doing a great job.... Tim is how every boss should be.

[@RyanCelestain]

The only limitations we have in life are the limitations we place upon ourselves! Thanks for making the world a better place Tim!

Wow, all these negative comments on a video like this. Tim seems like the kindest guy on earth, why the hell would you talk shit about him? Keep rocking Tim, wish there were more people like you in this world...

[@Jerkwad152]

I just flag them as hate speech. A lot of them are things Hitler would say...seriously, I'm not exaggerating.

[@ethanstorms4826]

I don't understand how there's dislikes on this video... it's such a great message 😭😃

[@bigdaddycmoney]

What a great story. I remember my theology teacher in high school telling our class that people born with Down Syndrome were angels who were guaranteed to get into Heaven. I still remember it to this day.

[@johngalt2898]

I am impressed by Tim's attitude, nothing can stop him. As a classically trained chef, I am doubly impressed at his success in such a demanding, tiring profession. Keep on keepin' on, big man!

[@DalyaEason]

Shame on the people who disliked this and especially the person who made a cruel comment "he'll never find a girlfriend so what's the point". Whoever you are, you are very misguided. Tim is a wonderful human being who is driven and smart. Why wouldn't he find a girl just as special? Your superficial sense of being is a waste. You have a lot to learn from Tim. It's people like him who inspire others.

[@haingis]

well, obviously it's someone who has never been around people with disabilities much, because a lot of them have girlfriends or boyfriends. This might be a bit too much information for prudish people, but they are very sexually active.

[@echoman]

That was inspiring and brought a tear. Breakfast, lunch and hugs. :) What a happy guy.

[@Trund27]

Beautiful human being.

[@DanJeongg]

The only disability is the bad attitude. Way to go Tim! People with disABILITIES are awesome :D

[@justinpullin98]

[@iamcarlos4191]

Tim, you just have changed my perspective of life, thank you :)

[@WendyOmuro]

Oh my goodness gracious ... my face is so confused. It can't stop smiling, yet the tears keep flowing ... I need a Tim hug right now! Thank you Tim and family for blessing this world with your unconditional love and light! You're all such beautiful souls, and I dream of meeting you someday.

[@TkBrina]

Flipping AWESOME! "People with disabilities are special. We are a gift to the world." - I agree wholeheartedly. God bless you! P.S. I LOVED your dance. It was great stuff. It literally made me smile.

[@kim-jiwonun1961]

[@RoqueJohnny]

This is awesome, not only did he never give up on his dream, but he also worked hard to achieve it

[@Druid_]

This is awesome.

[@markravin3348]

This kid is truly amazing. Everyone could learn a thing or two from Tim about the way to treat people.

[@Rawk4Life]

I would cry tears of joy if I ran into Tim Harris and got a hug from him. I have Aspberger's myself, and stories like this inspire me to keep going in life.

[@Rawk4Life]

+zoe Hertlein More than you know. There are many who had never heard of Aspberger's until I told them. Honestly, they won't understand it properly unless they walk a mile in my shoes.

[@QuienTVPanama]

If I ever visit Albuquerque, this is surely gonna be my first stop. Felicitaciones en nombre del mundo entero, desde Panamá, Tim.

[@GeometryDashSandstorm]

He's so positive

[@Freeden]

I don't think I've seen a comment section of people so miserable. Here's probably the happiest dude in the world, has a family restaurant, AND he's an accomplished athlete, all while being handicapped. And still, some people have to make asinine comments. It's pretty disturbing how awful some people can be. But hey, I'm sure this guy has heard it all before. What I love about truly positive people: they know how to stay positive. Not like Tim has anything to prove with what he's accomplished anyway.

[@chaipod]

Freeden, I totally agree you, LOL

[@chevyracer5091]

Amen I now no where I'm going to eat the next time I'm in nm

[@jonosbedi6846]

agree, comments that are negative in nature on this video are from some pretty sad people who I am sure could use help...actually feel sorry for them that it takes finding a video like this to be critical of to make themselves feel better...

I've spent the last 10 years helping people with disabilities start businesses as a way to put their many talents, skills, and connections to work. This is one of the most inspiring stories I have seen. You and your family are an inspiration to so many!

[@Pyberspace]

Wow, this is the most intelligent person with Down syndrome I have ever seen. Many people with the condition aren't able to speak fluently and articulate their thoughts like this. Along with having a great family, he's a pretty lucky guy!

[@republimom]

I think "blessed" would be a much better word!

I could use a Tim hug today.

[@ibsobad]

I send Love and have an overwhelming respect for these parents...And many quotes come to mind on their parenting with a disability. "We all have a disability of some kind; all are lacking in one way or another”. Love you Tim and Best Wishes for more to come.

[@annilipill3424]

You are wonderful Tim! :')

[@WooGotSeoul]

He's got the right idea & I hope nothing but the best for his restaurant business. If only we all could love each other more - the world would be a better place.

[@vwade3381]

Thank you Tim, and thank your family. This can be a cold world and you are filling people up with food and affection. I hope it's a hugely winning combination for you. I live in Denver and make road trips to NM. You're definitely on my list of places to visit.

[@KickedMangoStudios]

I stumbled across this video on my friend's Facebook wall and was about to keep scrolling but something told me to watch it - and I'm SO glad I did! I've never doubted that special needs people are just as capable as everyone else and Tim is the personification of strength, determination, love and a 'why not?' attitude. It just goes to show what people can achieve if they're just given a chance, plenty of love - and a great big hug, of course! Shine on, Tim, you crazy diamond!! I hope I can visit your wonderful restaurant one day!! Sending love, peace and congratulations from Australia!!

[@kt47793]

i love this video ive watched it a few times some folks would like to meet a famous celeb or a singer well me id soooo love to meet Tim =)

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

Truly amazing and inspirational. I'm glad Tim got to fulfill his dream, I hope everyone with down syndrome takes this video to heart and sees that they can do anything. To the 99 people that gave this video a "thumbs down", what kind of people are you? What world are you living in that you would dislike this video? The only people that should be disliking this video are zombies, and even though you all are idiots for disliking this video, I still wouldn't call you a zombie. So there is no excuse not to like this video other than you're an immature ass. So grow up and learn something from this video.

[@s.d.3656]

Its beautiful how people with disabilities like this believe in themselves, love every other being around them despite not getting the same back. And we, despite having everything, whine and bitch around about how our lives are fucked. This is the strange irony of human kind.

I remember this place, the food was really good. It was really sad when it closed down

[@Maluhia808]
