“Our older daughter, a junior high school student, has a severe intellectual disability. She is unable to take care of herself, so I have to help her with everything, including using the bathroom and bathing. She is very particular about things and often gets angry suddenly or screams nonstop for a long time. I don't know when it happened, but I started not thinking about her as precious to me. I sometimes even wish she would go away. My son, who is in high school, and my younger daughter, an elementary school student, have no disabilities, and they're so adorable.” [From Japan News, 'Dear Troubleshooter']' Episode Notes: ‘I Cannot Think of my Handicapped Daughter as "Precious"; Son, Daughter Without Disabilities Are "Adorable" [Japan News, 'Dear Troubleshooter']': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2024/12/01/i-cannot-think-of-my-handicapped-daughter-as-precious-son-daughter-without-disabilities-are-adorable-japan-news-troubleshooter/

The forgotten caves nurses of Okinawa. When we talk about World War II in Japan the majority of what People learn is all about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both incredibly important historical events don't get me wrong but because of this many stories go untold.
