he's tiny, but he clearly has a huge heart.
He's very much still alive now, and just celebrated his 28th birthday, back in March 2020
Wow! I’m so glad.
He’s about to celebrate his 30th birthday in 2022.

So glad Nick's doing alright 🙂 a great guy,, and his mom took great care of him
Thank you so much for this information. I was wondering about this and hoping he was still alive.
i love how he says "yeah yeah" LMAO the attitude
solange c yes most likely. There are very few doctors that have ever seen this condition and even fewer specialists to treat it. Once they find a primary whose taken the time to understand what these kids need they rarely change doctors regardless of their age.
Oh yeah yeah
so handsome🥺
He is so darn cute
Nick is amazing. I actually have a 12 year old son named Nicholas with a chromosome disorder. He is non-verbal and is the size of a 5 year old. There is something about these kids that make them very special. They have a bigger heart than most people and are just a gift to life. Even with the crap they have to go through, they are still so happy. It is amazing.
I hope you and your son are doing alright. I can't imagine your challenges.
Yes I agree, the joy they exude is infectious, im envious of that🙏
this thing is fukkking nightmare fuel this makes me pro choice
I like that he has two big brothers to protect him.😊
He is older than 1 of them
@@jessemedley4269 congrats u found the funny
Those puppies, too! They are so gentle and loving towards him
An angel. He’s an absolute angel, and so is his mother. Wonderful people.
L Hayes dhrh
Yes great people
He’s on Facebook a lot
He’s a cure to depression he’s so loveable
Amen to THAT! I can't even fathom being in a sour mood...or even a dull mood around Nick! Even just thru the screen, he's brightened my day even more than it was already🥰. Imagine waking up to that cheerfulness named Nicholas every morning. 😃.
He is so easy to love. What a fun young man he is.
4 real lol!!!
He may never grow tall, but he's got the heart of someone 100x his size. Big things come in small packages. Sometimes something that can seem devastating is the best thing for us. He has got a friend in me.
The high pitched voice makes him super adorable!!
its ironic cause they say that's insulting but yes I agree
He actually doesn’t have one it just makes him sound like one because is his head
@@jayreidy5317that is the dumbest explanation of a high pitched voice
He’s such a typical guy 😂 “you’re a hot lady” and then bust out some push ups 😂 so cute
Be quiet don’t talk Brenda Guadalupe what if that was you?

"I work out" lolol love him
As they said...its probably better that Nick doesn't really understand what is going on...its much easier for him that way
Nick is Hilarious. I love his positive outlook, and how he is always happy. His mum is a diamond. Good luck to the family.
I've seen a lot of videos on Nick, I love him! He's so funny!
Nick has so much love and kindness.
Nick’s Mom is a real life Hero!!!♥️
Omg he's so funny 😂 I love his sense of humor
His description of surgery anasthesia, "act dead like a possum" LMAO 😂
Best part is 3:55
best part is 6:36
5g
I love u
6:35 - OMG LMAO. I seriously love this little guy. Such a good outlook on life.
This makes me so happy to see how people treat him the same as other people
Man I know how it is....my daughter has hypo plastic left heart syndrome my heart goes out to all of you. She had a stroke when she had her first heart surgery at 6 weeks old, she’s had 3 open heart surgeries, she’s 9 years old now had Covid-19 and got through it too. Love you all
I live near their town and I am pretty certain I saw Nick in person as a small child. You can not imagine how completely adorable he was. I wanted to hold him so badly! Tiny, happy and so sweet. I remember his mother as being blonde and very nice. He got a lot of attention, all of it good.
What a wonderful, fun-loving team his family is for Nick. You can see they are proud of him and love him dearly. Nick's attitude and strength are a direct result of his family's true acceptance, love, and encouragement. This is the spiritual power of love for everyone to witness. If everyone could show this love to all people what a wonderful world this would be. Let's all try one day at a time.
Ive been ungrateful in my life
But this makes me grateful for being normal
God bless this little man
We all have, but seeing people like him, and others, well ❤️🩹 it makes me thank God for the blessings that I have!!
My brother had Down Syndrome and it would break my mother's heart when people pointed at him and made fun of him. People can be cruel.
It's great to see the staff and students at Nick's school treating him with kindness.
It's so surreal to me that ppl actually behave & treat other ppl like that. I bet it broke YOUR heart, too.
WAIT!!... "had"?? Your brother "had" D.S.?
Did Jesus call him home? May God comfort & guide you either way. Love in Christ, Ana🥰
@@anabaird3835 He died about 20 years ago. He was 52.
It was always touching when he knelt by his bed and said the Lord's Prayer every night. My mother taught him to pray.
He is a perfect being now.
@@happydays1336 God bless you both
@@darwinc949I'm reading your comment today on the Sabbath Day. It's brought joy to my life. Thank you!
@@happydays1336 I'm glad to hear that my friend. Have a good day!
Hey Camera guy: nan nanana nai naina 😂😂
That was my favorite part
The world would be a better place if we could all learn to love like Nick loves the world.
Yeah it would, Nick is such a beautiful soul 🥰🥰🥰🥰
He's happy because he's dumb
This video makes all of my problems seem insignificant- maybe they are. Thank you so much for posting this.
The little guy is still around and seems to be happy. I really hope he will have a few more years to live and enjoy every moment of his life.
"hey camera guy" lol

I absolutely love Nick, and God has most definitely blessed him with a wonderful family... big hugs ❤

It's BigNik
@@ennisdelmar807 most underrated comment ever. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
BigNickk
He is awesome and so is his whole family and especially his mother. In fact seems to me that he was very lucky to be born where he lives. Great family and community. The school makes a huge effort to cater to his needs and that’s not always easy to find. All the best to him and his family.
I love this boy, he is so cute and so likeable omg. And his voice. Honestly, if he was my brother, I wouldnt stop to laugh with him and protect him. What a precious little boy aww.
I love u tho
What a strong, loving, caring family!! I don't have the words to express my compassion.
Good mother and a funny little guy. Hope they live in peace and happiness.
what a amazing young man. I grew up with a handicapped mom and it is truly a god given gift to grow up with someone with a disability
He's such a sweet soul.
He has two fantastic brothers, and his mom is fabulous with him. They have so much love for him and he for them.
I just love watching Nick and his videos. I wonder if he realises how special he is. His mum is amazing
He's such a sweet guy. Loved his interviews on SBSK. He always brings a smile to my face.
This is too much for a parent to go through... my prayers for him and his family. 🙏
So glad the other families got together and the kids also. I’m sure it is a big help for all to understand and share. They are so special
I am holding Nick in my daily prayers, and also pray that God holds him in his healing hands, and keeps him always safe from harm.
6:37 this is why I love this little dude. He is so so so amazing
❤️❣️
Im glad that Nick is doing well,a nice guy.And his Mother has taken very good care of him,a great Mother 💞
What a precious human!!! He warms the heart. Feel so bad for his medical problems 🥺
He's adorable and I love his sense of humor! I hope he's ok now.
That's one great little guy, and his mom is just amazing. This makes me think about life and what it's really all about, and my problems seem insignificant compared to what these people endure. He is just glowing with happiness despite all his medical issues, and we can all learn something from him and his attitude. And now he has one more friend for life.
Nick is so adorable, this family has got to be one of the strongest families in the world, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, especially. I hope that they continue to live in a positive light..God bless each and every one of the people who take care of Nick, and of course, Nick himself:)
Nick, your are such a positive light on this earth. You are unique and have your own gifts to offer this world. Never forget,you are enough just as you are.❤
I watched this back when it was aired on television and I've been following him on Facebook for ever! I love him with all my heart ❤️ he's now 30 and doing amazing 🥰 he brings joy to my heart everytime I seen they've uploaded a new video ❤
Im so glad to hear
I was so tickled when Nick called out to the Camera guy😅😁.. Nick has such a personality and it's a big one. His family is so loving and adorable
It’s very sad to see him or anyone suffer like that, and I am glad he is happy and not depressed.
What i mostly liked about him is that he is always happy
Good news Nick Smith is 31 yrs old!🎉
What a incredibly charming young man. You can’t help but admire such a beautiful soul. To be so happy is a true blessing.
Nick have a great personality. So cute 🥰
A big thumbs up to the surgeon 👨⚕️
Stay safe and strong mommy nick’s y’all are awesome 👏 thanks so much for sharing! God’s bless
i follow Nick on facebook and this guy is the total definition of strength and self belief! Not to mention hes the funniest cat in the world lmao! Love ya brother Nick!
From the Tewhaiti Family in New Zealand
Sweet❣️ He is a real Angel on Earth. RESPECT THAT MAN
I just love his spunky personality he is outgoing friendly and a very confident young man. You GO Nick ! 👏
What a sweetheart. Hes so funny, likes the ladies, loves his Momma. I don't know how his Mom can just handle it without breaking down. Watching his struggles just made me cry. I'm sure she has hard days. I just wanted to kiss his pain away n cuddle him.
Nick is such an incredible human. His smile & his antics, from shaking his bum at the camera man, calling the hot lady & busting some moves. Seeing other with Nick’s condition & families getting together discussing treatments & doctors etc just amazing. I have nothing but love & gratitude for all the parents & children. 😘
He just turned 30!!! Ten more years for this cute guy!! He’s on Facebook ❤️
Nick’s laugh gets me every time. Dude is hilarious.
Nick is honestly bigger than life ! Amazing guy!💖
We love Nick!!! I have been watching his videos everywhere and his soul is so special... God bless you!!!
I love this video I love nicks brothers they treat nick with dignity and dont treat him like he is a baby. nick has such a great personality. he is so delightful. I alsolove it when the boys play a video game with him age appropriate for all three young men, plus mom is wonderful, was dad at work he is mentioned but not in the film
Nick has far more spirit than any and all the people i know. and we need good people such as Nick with great spirit...so that i'll be hoping he'll be with us for a very long time! thank you!!!
Surely mothers are the best....I'm calling mine now.....
His mother is a SAINT. He must be exhausting (even though she loves him) to deal with 24/7. Plus we generally only see the good times. I can imagine the temper tantrums we dont see.
He's 30 now :D. Actually his mom runs a youtube channel for him. where they post frequently. Hannah sometimes even makes an appearance.
also RIP Brad, and Bree, thank you for showing the world your amazing story
It's wonderful to have a great support group! Folks that can relate that are outside the family circle..really great to see!
Uuuhhhmmm i need that perry the platypus backpack asap also love this documentary
Edit: shes an amazing mom
Bless this sweet guy. So full of life.
What an amazing mom he has. She is incredible. And he is so sweet!! Sending prayers to you and your family ❤
This documentary is so old. Thanks for the repost.
He is so cute and so happy💙 this is honestly putting a smile on my face just by seeing him so happy🎈♥️God bless him mf the family🙂
I love Nick so much he's so smart ❤ he always makes me & my dad smile :)
As being someone from the US State of Georgia, this hits home as I feel like we are special as I have Autism but I don't show my Autism as over the years I've been able to be like my normal peers who have no special needs but seeing Nick, it has made me glad for his condition, he is able to find the most out of life and I have seen kids with other type of special needs but this is this most sad thing I have watched that has touched my heart.
Nick is one of my favorites to watch- he is a little ball of energy ! Watching him always brightens my day!
I saw him on SBSK
Same
Same to
He’s such a sweetheart!
What an incredible inspiration Nick is.
THIS YOUNG MAN MADE ME SMILE THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO. WHAT A WONDERFUL ATTITUDE AND SENSE OF HUMOR. GOD BLESS YOU NICK AND YOUR FRIENDS ALSO
Just a wonderful story of family love and respect.
For Sure Nick is an example for all of us. Just beautiful joyousness
Thank you to Nick and his family for being an example to us all. 🙏

I’m Justin awe with these families & parents! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🙏🙏💐🤗
Nick is such a funny, loving, happy, and sweet man. I love following him on Facebook and watching his videos
love this channel because of great documentaries like this
It makes you wonder sometimes if these people just have too much love and personality and beauty for a body to handle. It's so comforting to know Nick is still doing well and living his best life. I hope for all the joy and happiness he can stand
Everything about him is amazing and so cute
For every parent who ever wished their kid would never grow up, Nick is their dream child.
Right?!? I know it’s horrible for me to say but I want him!!
He's adorable ! He is really inspirational with his zest for life & his sense of humor ! Bless his heart !
What a precious boy.💗
