People Share Things They'll Never Take For Granted Again
Do you remember the outside, reader? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields… and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
While we, like Samwise Gamgee, are on our quest to destroy the thing threatening the lives of all beings across Middle Earth, some have taken to remember the little things that have become impossible in quarantine. Twitter user Elan Gale kicked off a viral thread with the prompt, "Name one thing you'll never take for granted again," inviting users to share precious things they can't wait to get back to.

Having lunch with my dad. Coffee at Barry's Deli. Going to the grocery store whenever. McMenamins. Powell's. Saturday breakfast and errands with my parents. Plays. Concerts. https://t.co/LNgB4i1CYO

My non-verbal son requesting I rub his arm. He is in lockdown at his group home and I have not touched him for two weeks. Sometimes his constant need for sensory pressure used to bug me. I never realized how soothing it was for me, too- our way of communicating. I miss him.

Literally running into 7-11 to grab whatever. Quick spur of the moment stops. Having someone hand me something without being scared. Hugging. https://t.co/jFiRWOr0Z2

Kissing. I’m going to kiss every man in Ireland when this is over. I haven’t kissed someone in ages and I WAS fine with that, but now to be told I CAN’T kiss anyone? I’m not allowed to kiss anyone?? https://t.co/nVrLRBIEMm
