How Jade clung to life on Mother's Day with her sons
Sunday, March 22, 2009The death of such a young woman and mother would be heartbreaking at any time.But Jade Goody's death carries a special poignancy to it - coming as it did on Mother's Day.All thoughts are now turning to her two sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four - but they were always first in Jade's mind.
As she clung to life yesterday her new husband Jack Tweed left her bedside to buy a moving Mother's Day card.It carried the message: 'A mum is like a tea bag; only in hot water do you realise how strong she is.' A teacup on the card bore the message: 'Love you, Jade'.
It is not known whether Jade, or her mother Jackiey, was to receive the card; it would have been equally suitable for both.For the last few weeks Jackiey has barely left her daughter's side; while mother-of-two Jade defied expectations to cling to life for as long as she did.
Jade's young sons gave her handmade cards to mark Mothering Sunday last weekend, after doctors advised she was close to death.The cancer-stricken reality TV star defied expectations, determined to spend precious extra minutes with her family.
At Jade's request the youngsters spent the last couple of weeks with their father Jeff Brazier.
