19 Heart-Wrenching Family Moments That Seem Like They're Straight Out Of A Movie, But They're Real

"One of my grandpa's last requests was to sneak a chocolate chip cookie into the hospital..."

It doesn't take a lot to make me cry these days, so it's no surprise that one of the latest TikTok trends made me sob so hard, I had to change my pillowcase last night.

The trend uses the song "Slipping Through My Fingers" from Mamma Mia, and it showcases something really sweet that the user's family member (and in some cases animal) did for them. Here are some of the heart-wrenching examples:

1. This person's baby brother didn't get the memo that she moved out of the house, so he checks her bedroom for her every morning.

2. This person drives behind their dad to work every day, and he flashes his hazard lights as a "goodbye" every time she turns onto her exit.

3. This person's dad won "surprise of the year" when he wrapped his daughter up like a present and had her mom open it on the train platform.

4. This person's dog is such a good boy that he waited for two whole hours to eat because his owner forgot to say his "release word."

5. This person asked her dad to get her some juice when she was going through chemotherapy, and he brought her the entire grocery store.

6. This person's mom did everything in her power for him to not be alone on Thanksgiving, which included driving eight hours to take him and his friends out to dinner.
