I asked @nytimes readers to share the last time that life felt normal before the pandemic.

We heard from nearly 700 people from around the world about what these moments mean now that we’re in isolation.

My heart is warmed. I hope you’ll feel it too https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/24/world/coronavirus-before-pandemic-memories.html

Projects like this can’t happen without readers who are willing to share sometimes vulnerable and private moments. I am so grateful for them.

Also for the team of journalists who helped edit and produce this: @monicadrake, @dansaltzstein, @LaurenReddy and @TheLilyBenson
