The Internet’s Favourite Sad Grandad Is Having A Cookout And You Are Invited

Go on Papaw!!!!!

Megan Cassidy

The internet’s favourite sad Granddad is hosting a cookout and everyone is invited.

In case you missed it, “Papaw” broke our hearts this week when only one of his six grandkids showed up after he had cooked twelve burgers for them.

A photo of Papaw looking dejected quickly went viral, and although Papaw doesn’t quite understand the internet, he is definitely feeling the positive vibes from everyone.

So much so that he has now decided to cook burgers for anyone and everyone who attends his special one-off cookout on March 26 at the family’s flea market in Purcell, Oklahoma, according to KVUE.com.

One of Papaw’s grandkids, Brock Harmon told the station:

“We were talking about the whole thing and Papaw said, ‘Why don’t we have a cookout?”

As expected, people have gone into full-scale planning mode, and are mapping their journeys to Oklahoma to see Papaw and share a burger with him.
