A photo of a older man who was stood up by his own grandchildren has caused some heartbreak on Twitter.

Kelsey Harmon, a college student from Oklahoma, tweeted a photo of her grandfather eating a burger alone after only one of six grandkids showed up for the dinner that he prepared.

“Dinner with papaw tonight. He made 12 burgers for all 6 grandkids and I’m the only one who showed. Love him,” Harmon wrote on Twitter.

The photo has more than 130,000 retweets and 220,000 likes and may have literally broken some hearts.

After the tweet went viral, Harmon followed up with another message letting everyone know that her grandfather was doing just fine. It appears the other five grandkids, who didn’t show up for dinner, were getting harassed online.

“Papaw is ok guys I promise and he loves all grandkids equally. Plz stop sending my cousins death threats everything is ok,” she wrote.

One of the grandkids, Brock Harmon, did eventually show up to dinner and tweeted his own photo of Papaw at the dinner table.

“Papaw said he forgives me and wants all of you guys to know ya’ll are awesome for making him famous,” he wrote.

The Harmons even got some celebrity attention from Montel Williams.

Here’s to hoping the other four grandkids don’t miss dinner with grandpa next time.
