Friday, June 09, 2006 || one litre of tears

photo adapted from: http://www.channel-ai.com/blog/2006/01/01/1-litre-of-tears/

i consider this show one of the best ever, and probably the one that makes me nearly drop my tears...this is a real life story about a girl, Aya, who was contracted with spinocerebrellar atrophy...a disease that gradually degenerates the nervous system...

there is no cure for this disease, and the ending is already known to viewers, that is Aya will not be able to survive this ordeal...in real life, she lived on for another 10 years after contracting this disease, and what she left in this world was the book of diary, name 'one litre of tears', recounting how she managed to struggle throughout the 10 years to live a fulfilling live...

the diary recorded her strongwill, her optimistism, which touches on how one can still live life to the fullest, despite having difficulty in moving, speech problems, and eventually denegeration of the muscles...

from a school girl, to contracting this illness, to almost recovery yet once again falling down, and had to depend on alphabet board to spread her intended messages to her friends and families...Aya was still able to retain her smile, never succumb to the disease, and continue to inspire those around her and those who had the same disease as well...

a real life story, that touches hearts, a diary which reflects her dreams and thoughts,...

can we be like her? i believe many of us may not have the courage to face the obstacles...but we must remember never to give up our hopes and dreams, as both are the driven force that motivates us to strive better...

before you say an unkind word think of someone who can't speak before you complain about your food think of someone who has nothing to eat before you complain about life think of someone who went too early to heaven before you argue about cleaning your house think of the people who are living in the streets before whining about the distance driving to school think of someone who has to walk the same distance before complaining about your job think of the unemplyed desperate for work before you point finger or condemn another remember no humans is perfect when depressing thoughts seem to get you down thank all those around you who encourage you remember to give love always to others
