1 Litre Of Tears

  'Zutto ikite, arigatou' (Live on forever, thank you). Kitou Aya last word in her diary. If u never heard of a japanese drama called '1 Litre of Tears', you should go have a look and experience the situation she's facing through the drama. You will definitely cried more than 1 litre of tears.

  Kitou Aya, a girl who have a disease called Spinocerebellar Atrophy Degeneration. It is an incurable disease which progress slowly and eventually cause death. Aya, who gotten this disease since 15 years old, fought against this disease for 10 years. She is a girl who always happy, smile, friendly and pretty. She loves sports and she's in love with a basketball senior in her high school.

  However, she lost a lot of precious thing with the progress of the disease. Due to her disability, she often need helps from friends. But time won't stop. Eventually, she went to a disability school where she don't have any friends. With time passed, she couldn't walk, talk and write. She wrote all her feelings into her diary until the day she couldn't write. She walked until her leg left no energy and unable to walk. She wanted to speak out her feelings but couldn't do it due to her disease.

 *Her family whose always helped her, took care of her and visit her*

[Her brother (Hiro), sister (Ako) and small sister (Rika)]

  With all the restriction, she still able to live happily with positive mind. All i wanted to say is, Why Can't We?
Compared to the situation faced by Aya, our problems is nothing! Nothing compared to Aya disease! She live the way she are and helped people who have the same disease as her. I hope that everyone can learn from her.

Some quote from her diaries:

1)"As i think about the past, the tears will come out.

Reality is too cruel, too brutal.

I don't even have the right to dream."

2)"To be able to smile and tell everyone this;

I have, at least, cried one litre of tears."

3)"Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing."

4)"I want to build a time machine and revisit the past.

If it weren't for this disease, I might be in love. 

I want to cling to someone's arm so badly.

5)"People shouldn't dwell in the past.

  It's enough to try your best in all that you're doing now."
                           

6)"If you look up at the sky after falling down,

the blue sky is also today stretching limitlessly

and smiles at me..

I'm Alive."
