## Caption

"I love you! Thank you so much! I want to hug you but I know I'm not supposed to! Air hug!"

I recently covered a drive-thru vaccine clinic, and many getting vaccinated were from Houston's Korean community. It's no secret that the Asian community has been on edge, especially Koreans, following the tragedy in Georgia last month. At least on this day, they could feel a sense of peace.
•⁠
With Korean translators on hand, hundreds got their second dose of their COVID-19 vaccine. ⁠This lady waved hello to literally everyone -- including me-- and was so friendly. After the nurse's injection, she yelped a brief "Aya!!" and laughed, wiping a few tears and said: "That wasn't as bad as the first one! I love you! Thank you so much! I want to hug you but I know I'm not supposed to! Air hug! Thank you!"

Rolling forward to the observation zone, her window stayed down so she could wave more to each of the healthcare staff running the clinic. More cheers of gratitude, but now in Korean. During the 15 minute wait period, she waved over one of the staffers and handed her a homemade gimbap, a Korean seaweed rice roll that's literally the perfect snack. She had brought snacks to give to the workers! 😭

This moment was better than any K-Drama special on Netflix.
