The Bright Side

When I was in Washington DC a few weeks ago I spent time with an amazing little chap named Alex. (Mostly on the floor as you can see.)

Even though he has cancer, Alex has figured out how to put the “Ha!” in happy.

We were photographing Alex for a book we are compiling about kids with cancer.

His attitude, his enthusiasm, his smile, his mischievousness, his chuckle and his love of life enveloped me like a six-person group hug.

“Why are you so happy, Alex?” I asked.

“Because it feels good!” he said.
