Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing

One Litre of Tears is a japanese series about A 15 year old girl named Aya Ikeuchi has this disease and is desperately fighting it.This disease is named spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. But there's no cure yet for this sickness.The original story is based on the diary of Aya who kept writing untill she could no longer hold a pen.
I am totally touch by the story and the message that Aya wish to pass to the world.She is just a 15 years old girl when she know about that the disease she is fighting with.She have a bright future if she never get the disease. However, she tried her best and be usefull to the others. Her diary which later become a book, title One Litre of Tears had cheer up those who have the same disease as her and the others.
If you can, try to get the book or watch the japanese series. It totally worth it and you will be thankfull that u still seing the sun shine today and every single things. You will be glad that you still can talk , can walk, can write. Be usefull to others.It will make you think about your life, and make you appreciate what you have and what you can.
I felt so sorry for the people surrounding her especially her family members.(of coz her too). You will never say you are unhappy or unlucky compare to Aya.coz you are still healthy, u still can do everything which she can't .We should be satisfy with whatever we have.Life is precious.

Don't forget to prepare a box of tisue paper when you watch it.I guess you will need it.
