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.”
