Sad Papaw became a global sensation in March 2016 when a college student named Kelsey Harmon tweeted a photo of her grandfather, Kenny Harmon, eating a burger alone. She explained that he had made twelve burgers for his six grandchildren, but she was the only one who showed up. The image of the visibly saddened 'Papaw' staring down at his meal triggered a massive wave of sympathy across social media, turning him into an overnight symbol of wholesome heartbreak. While the story had a happy ending with a massive community cookout later that month, the original photo remains the definitive meme for expressing the sting of being stood up, neglected, or feeling unappreciated by those you care about.
