The pandemic has changed people's lives in many ways, but perhaps not in the same way as it has for Saskatchewan's Jada Hamilton and Ohio's Jenni Middleton.
The cross-border couple met by chance on TikTok in August 2020, and quickly fell in love over marathon FaceTime calls. But they couldn't be together for months, due to pandemic-related travel restrictions.
By the time they finally met in person nearly a year later, they had an extra person in their world — a baby boy named Zayden.
