THIS IS THE BEST FATHER'S DAY STORY...
"CBS News) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Sunday is Father's Day, which celebrates the special bond between a father and his son.
When Keith Harris' son Tim was born, a half-hearted smile was all he could muster.
"Our pediatrician asked me if I knew what down syndrome was, and the world turned black at that moment," he told CBS News.
What a difference 26 years makes. Today, in sunny Albuquerque, you'd be hard pressed to find a more glowing father than Keith. Or a more shining example of what truly great parenting can accomplish.
Keith and wife Jeannie, who also have three typical boys, have raised them all with the same high-expectations. As a result, they're all successful. But, none are more successful than Tim, who not only lives on his own but owns his own restaurant.
In fact, as far as we know, Tim is the only person with Down syndrome in the country who owns a restaurant..."
Besides this thriving mom & pop (for now, Tim plans on expansion) restaurant, Tim has a HUG-A-METER which tallies every hug given by him to his loyal customers and accepting new patrons.
I want one of Tim's hugs-though I was teary-eyed just watching this- not sure in person I wouldn't just sob.
Heck, I'll take my chances!
