Agustina and Pascual look at one of the Pulitzer Prize winning photographs showing them kissing together at a nursing home in Barcelona, Spain, Thursday, June 17, 2021. Nearly a year after the photo was taken, Emilio Morenatti met up again with now 82-year-old Agustina Caà±amero and 85-year-old Pascual Pérez to gift them the memorable photograph. Pérez has since moved nursing homes but still receives weekly visits from Caà±amero. Though the masks remain on their faces they can now embrace without a plastic sheet between them. As Pérez has lost much of his sight, both his wife and Morenatti described the photo to him so he could remember that day and visualize the moment. (AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)
