When the tweet went Viral, Gab told her grandpa and filmed his reaction to finding out he was 'internet famous.' Of course, his reaction was adorable.

He said "How am I going to get them all in? I’m famous. That’s something. I’m speechless to tell you the truth. I think it's really funny. One good thing came out of it, this ticker in here feels a bit better right now. That makes my heart feel a lot better, rather than being so sad and lonely."

*Cue the water works.*
