Meet Janiya Penny, the terminally ill eight-year-old whose dream came true earlier this year when she got to meet her idol, President Obama.
This heartwarming photograph shows the pair of them at the White House, Janiya so overcome with excitement and emotion that she breaks down in tears, has her hands covering her face in awed disbelief. Becoming the latest internet sensation, the inspiring image was taken by Pete Souza, a White House photographer.
Looking older than her years in a crisp grey blazer, her elbow patches matching carefully selected pumps and jewelery, and black ruffle skirt, Mr Souza's emotional image captures her true young age.
Too young, really, to be fighting so serious an illness.
The meeting was made possible by the Make-A-Wish foundation, after associates approached Janiya three years ago as she battled sickle cell anemia, a life-threatening disease that causes excruciating pain.
When she told them her dream was to meet the President they panicked, unsure they could make it happen, even trying to get her to change her wish.
But she was adamant. Obama was her hero and that was all she wanted.
Janiya first fell for the President in 2008, staying up late to watch him give his inaugural speech.
