A brief transcript from the Podcast – If We Knew Then Transcripts:
Sader Issa – “At first it was a bit sad, you know, to know about all the problems that my father may have to face in the future or may be facing right now. but, after a while, all this negative information just started to fade in the background i just see my funny father, my healthy father and my strong father. so all of these negative ideas started to fade in the background and i just started to understand more about his character, more about my father as a person. not about a down syndrome diagnosis. all these negative ideas just faded. he returned to be just my lovely father without any kind of labels.”
