Sam had tweeted a screenshot of his mom urging him to "find a way" to meet the athlete — when Sally herself intervened, tagging Adam's Twitter account to make sure he saw it.
Sam was ~slightly~ embarrassed.
Adam later told BuzzFeed that he was sure the two would meet someday.
And now, that day has come. THE TWO HAVE FINALLY MET!
"Thanks, mom," Sam captioned the pic, which was taken at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday, where Adam was honored with the Visibility Award.
