Namida (also
calledA Diary with Tears or A Diary of Tears) is a dramatic tragedy diary written by Aya Kitō(, July 19, 1962 - May 23, 1988) published shortly before her death.
The diary, a true story based on her own life, was originally written in first
person. It is about a girl coping with her teenage life along with a
degenerative disease. She 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."
SUMMARY
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.
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.
