An adorable video of a father and daughter's special moment and morning tradition made serious waves online.

This clip, originally shared on TikTok by @christopher.....p, had everyone gushing over how cute and pure it was.

A daily ritual unfolds

The video kicks off with the dad in the lounge, calling out a 'goodbye' to his daughter, who is in another room. Before he can even think about heading out the door, she yells for him to hold up and runs into the lounge, asking him not to leave without their special salute. The super chilled dad plays along.

The little girl, with all the seriousness of a tiny commander, puts her hand to her right temple, matching her dad's military-style salute. They both say 'salute' in unison, and then she walks over for the biggest, most heartwarming hug.
