After Chris Askew's newborn son was born premature, he needed a way to boost his and his wife's spirits and morale to get them through this tough time in their lives.
This little man was stuck in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) since the day he was born at 30 weeks.
Chris then started scrolling through Tik-Tok to think of ideas or ways he can support his family. He happened to come across a viral dance craze and suddenly had an idea: He would dance every day until his son was well enough to leave NICU.
His movement quickly went viral, with other families reaching out to thank him and offer support, begging him to continue even after his son leaves the hospital.
If this doesn't warm your heart then we don't know what will.
