Narrative Supposing Books 1 Litre of Tears
This diary written by Aya Kitō (July 19, 1962 - May 23, 1988) was published shortly before her death.Aya Kitō was diagnosed with a disease called spinocerebellar degeneration when she was 15 years old. The disease causes the person to lose control over their body, but because the person can retain all mental ability the disease acts as a prison. So in the end she cannot eat, walk or talk.
Aya keeps a diary of not only what she does but how she feels and the hardships she must endure. Initially, the diary's purpose was for Kitō to chronicle impressions she had about how the disease was affecting her daily life. As the disease progressed, however, the diary became Kitō's outlet for describing the intense personal struggles she underwent in coping, adapting, and ultimately trying to survive her disease. As she notes in one entry, "I write because writing is evidence that I am still alive."
Through family, medical examinations and rehabilitations, and finally succumbing to the disease, Aya must cope with the disease and live on with life until her death at the age of 25.

There is a Japanese series about Aya that I loved so much. It was heart touching, it made me cry many times!I really recommend watching this before reading this diary.☙ And here is a link to watch the series. It's about a 14-year-old girl "Aya Kito" who had a spinocerebellar atrophy which made her lose her body's balance gradually and progressively until she couldn't walk.Then she lost her ability to eat properly, she could choke and die if she was alone.And lost the ability to write as usual,Aya-chan is a cheerful girl and full of life. She shows that we can always do our best in any situation. When the disease come, she did her best to cope with it.People would pay very little to the mom in the story. But I admire her calm and strong. That people might mistake that she is cold. Despite the feeling of not being able to do much thing while watching her daughter is in pain is suck There is no drama in the way she act. All is the realistic action to help her daughter and ultimately her
it's a very nice book very inspiring

She couldn't do any other normal thing, much less being able to get married, to start a life, to be an active independent member of the society.I came across this book mainly because I have watched a drama series under the same title. When I realized that there is a published diary which was adopted into a T.V show, I
It really makes you appreciate the mundane things that we take for granted. No one ever thinks that something as simple as the ability to walk is a gift. Unfortunately, as it is translated from Japanese, there is a lot of reference to Japanese culture and daily life that the average person may not understand. Still... I would recommend reading this to everyone.
It is always difficult to judge a book by its translation. I read this book because I watched the J-drama of Anyas story and wanted to know how accurate its portrayal of her disease is. (Im not marking any of this as a spoiler since its nonfiction.)The start of the book is her diary, which reflected similar sentiment I saw in the J-drama version of Aya. However, near the end of the book when the doctor is giving her (interestingly the doctor is male in the drama even though she is female in real
