I don’t know why this photo makes me cry

This photo was featured on a BBC news page about a study which found that thumb-sucking and nail-biting among children has a strong correlation with few allergies.

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason every time I see this photo it brings tears to my eyes. This little girl just looks so innocent. Maybe it activates some kind of protective or motherly instinct in me. I don’t know.

Every time I look at it my eyes instantly start watering, then I must look away. Maybe one of these times I should just keep looking at it and let myself cry fully.
