A granddaughter came to her grandmother's apartment bearing a unique gift -- it was a prescription for a hug.It had been a year since Evelyn Shaw had hugged anyone, let alone granddaughter Ateret Frank. Yet, Shaw said she wasn't going to let her granddaughter into her Bronx apartment, even though both had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.The prescription, which Shaw's doctor offered to write, read, "You are allowed to hug your granddaughter." It was just the nudge she needed to reclaim a part of her life that she loved so much."I was stuck in COVID land and having this prescription from my doctor gave me the courage to let her in," Shaw told CNN's Brianna Keilar. "There we were, standing in my apartment just hugging and hugging and crying and crying for the first time in a year, which was an out-of-body experience. It was blissful."Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released evidence-based guidance for people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Grandparents can hug their unvaccinated grandchildren, especially if they are local, as the CDC still says people should avoid travel.Now, as many grandparents have received their doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, a small part of the world is starting to feel right again.We spoke with a few lucky grandparents on what it was like when they were reunited with their grandchildren. These are their heartwarming stories.She will remember this for the rest of her lifeEvelyn Shaw spent the last year without a warm embrace or touching anyone.The widow lives by herself and missed the frequent visits of her granddaughter and daughter Laura Shaw Frank.When the long-awaited hug finally happened on March 1, Shaw and her 23-year-old granddaughter cried as they embraced."It was wonderful, and it was something I'm going to remember for the rest my life," Shaw said. "I want to thank the doctor for writing this prescription."Even though the hug felt "incredible," Shaw's granddaughter, Ateret Frank, said she was nervous even though she had received both of her vaccine shots."Having that prescription in my hand, it sort of -- it felt like a permission slip to be able to hug my grandmother and then once I did it, it felt natural, felt like a relief and I immediately started crying," Frank said.Getting back to things that were once so normal, such as giving giving a loved one a hug, will take some time to adjust to."We're all going to need to transition from the fear that we have lived with for so long," Shaw said.They got an unexpected hug from behindAs one family in central North Carolina eagerly waved at each other from across the yard, just like they have all year, a grandmother made a snap decision as she stood there with her husband. She asked their grandchildren to walk backward toward her."My mom suddenly made an unexpected request," Deana C. Wrote to CNN. "She asked our children to walk backwards to them, one at a time, so that she could put her arms around them for just a moment and hug them. I was so surprised, because we haven't been anywhere near each other in over a year."Looking across the lawn at her 11-year-old son, Eli, getting the hug, brought her joy, Deana said. All three of her children got to hug their grandmother as their grandfather watched on March 7.Deana, 47, said her parents are in an at-risk age group and there are members of the family who have preexisting conditions. They have diligently taken precautions, she added."

We've missed out on so much over the past year, but the sacrifice of distancing ourselves from loved ones pales in comparison to the thought of losing them to COVID-19," she said.While it's been hard not to hug and be close with her parents, who only live a few towns over, Deana said it's the sleepovers, the family dinners and just being with their grandparents that her kids miss the most."The children are growing so quickly, and the grandparents are missing out on their changes and milestones," she said.
