These quarantine hugs on TikTok are beyond adorable

Alabama (and much of the rest of the country) is starting to reopen, but we all know it will still be a while before things are back to normal. One element of quarantine that has been especially hard on everyone is the lack of physical contact – specifically hugging those we love.
If your children are young enough to be quarantined with you then they are available for all the snuggles and hugs you can handle, but grandparents and parents of older children aren’t so lucky. That’s what makes these TikTok videos of grandparents coming up with *unusual* ways to be in contact with their families so adorable.
Quarantine Hugs
Like these grandparents who really missed their young grandsons and prove it by going to rather extreme methods to hug them while still ensuring they don’t spread germs.
