2024 'There Was A Healing' Meme Has Only Become More Relevant Over The Past Year

There Was A Healing is a series of memes where a PNG of big, wet eyes is edited onto images of characters or people alongside a variation of the catchphrase, "There was a healing," including examples using the phrasal template, "There was a X." The memes are inspired by a September 2024 meme posted by X user @aIexrudd where the big eyes have been edited onto Chris and Peter Griffin from Family Guy. It was further popularized on TikTok between 2025 and 2026 after an upload by @enzoswordskill, inspiring further memes referencing the original.
