A video of a pair of premature twins in Australia holding hands while lying on their proud new father is melting hearts around the world.
New mom Anthea Jackson-Rushford posted the video Jan. 13. It shows siblings Kristiana and Kristian clearly holding hands as their father watches in wonder.
In the post, Jackson-Rushford wrote, "Amazing!!! Needs to go viral!!!...our preemie twins Kristiana and Kristian! Born at just 28 weeks and 1 day! Weighed in at under a kilo each!"

In the video, the twins are cuddling skin-to-skin with their dad, a technique believed to help boost a premie's health.

"Both my angels holding hands again as if they were born to! Amazing sight!" she wrote.
