This is my favorite image EVER.
Every time I feel uninspired and bored with life I look at this picture for a good long time.
What's interesting is the backstory.

In this image:
Sisters. There were seven but not all photographed. Two cousins seen here.
These girls would soon lose their father to Tuberculosis. Some would have to quit school to help their mother feed, support and clothe the younger ones.
These girls had each other, the love of their mother and the fight in their bodies to weather through the storm.

They had the memory of a day spent bouncing on a bed, when they paused for a brief moment to take a proper picture.

And my mother. Oh my mother, is the one with the gigantic smile on her face.
