Annie has this face that she makes when she’s playing.

Its a look of total, complete THRILL, no matter what it is she’s doing.

Playing Barbies? MAGICALLY ELECTRIFYING.

Watching a Disney movie? BLOOD-TINGLING PLEASURE.

Groovy Girls? Hungry Hungry Hippos? Candy Land? ALL MIND-BLOWING MERRIMENT.

I’ve never, ever been able to capture the face on camera, but  came awfully close with this shot.

It is pure, utter joy to watch this child play, because every. single. thing. she ever does is THE MOST adrenaline-pumping EXHILARATION she’s ever experienced.

She has no idea she’s been diagnosed with a brain tumor, but she lives every moment like she does.

That should inspire us all.
