There have been a number of issues created by the coronavirus pandemic that people probably never considered possible. Due to social distancing guidelines, families are now keeping separate from each other. Leave it to human creativity, however, to come up with some amazing ways to get close to each other without violating those guidelines.
Some of the members of the family are at high risk due to their age. That was the case for this great-grandmother, but their family in Rockford, Illinois decided to create something that would allow them to show a little love. They grab some duct tape, PVC pipes, livestock gloves, and a window installation kit. In the end, Carly Marinaro created something that would allow her children to hug their great-grandmother, Rose Gagmon. She had been in quarantine for almost 2 months!

“A must watch for a little joy,” Marinaro wrote on Facebook. “Nana has been longing to hug her babies!”
You can see the children waiting for their great-grandmother to arrive and when she does, they can hardly contain their excitement. They then take turns sticking their hands through the disposable plastic gloves and giving her a hug.

She loved the taste of success and even asked her kids, “Who want seconds?” It seems as if all of them couldn’t wait for more.
