TikTok isn’t always the sweetest app on your phone, but the most recent trend is the most wholesome thing you’ll see on the internet today – please meet the Slipping Through My Fingers trend, the one TikTok trend guaranteed to have you bawling within seconds.

If you haven’t seen the Slipping Through My Fingers videos they’re essentially TikToks of people showing off cute moments of their grandparents or parents doing kind things for them. It will seriously make you appreciate your parents more after watching.

The videos usually start with the user facing camera with a text overlap explaining the cute moment you’re about to see such as grandparents bringing round their shoes for them to wear at prom or a dad taking pictures on a flip phone. It then cuts to the actual moment and it’s just always sweet to see.

What makes it even more heart wrenching is the accompanying music which is the ABBA song “Slipping Through My Fingers”. It’s the version from the first Mamma Mia film in which Sophie and Donna sing it whilst they get Sophie ready for her wedding.
