Grant then shared his reaction to Streisands response, tweeting that he was overwhelmed upon reading Babs words.
Am completely crinkle faced & overcome with emotion.
My Message in a bottle miracle.
Im just absolutely astonished.
I just spoke to Melissa and we were both crying, so I feel very emotional right now.
She had one earplug in and I had the other; Thats how we got the news!
We both burst into tears.
I think people at the tables around us thought we had some tragic news.
We got free lunch and drinks, so Im grateful.
