That little bit of honesty made Leavy's discovery quickly go viral with over 400,000 likes and 84,000 retweets.

Leavy told Buzzfeed that her father couldn't even remember the picture being taken. She said he is blind in one eye and told her that he was just looking down.

There were a ton of questions about Leavy's father and she tweeted some of the more asked ones, particularly about his sweet tie.
