Last night, we collectively said goodbye to the bébés known as the Rose family. In the finale episode of Schitt's Creek, David and Patrick finally tied the knot, Johnny and Moira headed off to California, and Alexis tugged at our hearts every time she booped one of her beloved family members on the nose.

But if Patrick singing "Always Be My Baby" at the altar didn't make you cry, there's one particular finale tweet that probably will.

As you probably know if you're a Schitt's stan, Johnny and David are played by a real-life father-son duo, Eugene and Dan Levy. The two co-created the show, and Dan is the showrunner, writer, and sometimes-director. The night of the finale, Dan's mom Deborah Divine tweeted congratulations to her son, writing:

Today I regret every single second of worry back in the uninformed 80’s-wondering how the world was going to treat my brilliant little boy who loved to twirl. Little did I know that he was going to kick that old world’s ass to the curb and create a brand new one.

Dan's sister Sarah Levy, who also plays Twyla on the show, then quote-tweeted her mom, writing, "Wonder where he gets it from"

Dan has been open about his bond with his mom, telling Andy Cohen about the moment he came out to his parents. "My mom asked me over for lunch one day, and I said, 'Yes,'" Dan said. "She almost knew. My mom and I have a very close relationship in that sense, and it almost felt like she knew that I was ready."

In Dan's own goodbye, he tweeted that the show's audience "taught me that television has the power to not only bring people together in profound and inspiring ways, but also the power to change conversations and consequently, change lives."

It was all, as Patrick would say, simply the best.
