The Sad Story of Jade Goody

Unless you have been living under a stone you must have heard the news that Jade Goody is sadly dying from Cancer.
Sadly there are thousands of people dying from Cancer every day. In fact my own Grandmother died from Cervical Cancer at the age of 58, my own Mother was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer 4 years ago at the age of 56 although thankfully she has beaten it, and i am personally battling Bowel Cancer which is currently in remission.

So why have i decided to post about Jade and what makes Jade’s story anymore important than the thousands of other sufferers?…

Well Jade has always loved the limelight and has been a big part of UK television since she was in Big Brother a few years ago. I’ve never liked Big Brother personally so i never watched her on it but i personally learnt more about Jade when she made her Reality TV show on Living TV which chronicled her life after BB where she was trying to release her own line of Perfume.

This show particularly was great TV. Jade has never been afraid of showing her true self to the world and for me she come across as yet another dim girl trying to become famous. However for all her faults, more than anything she comes across as a truly genuine person who despite a very sad childhood has come out on top and worships her children. So who cares whether she’s a bit ‘thick’? She’s no different than hundreds of thousands of other girls in the same position but for becoming the person she has, she should be solute and she certainly has my utmost respect!

The saddest thing about Jade’s story though and why she has my deepest sympathies is because she’s put a face to Cancer and is showing the world what Cancer victims go through every day.
What is more sad though is how the media have ‘told’ her story. One minute she’s nothing more than a thick bitch and the next minute she’s Mother Teresa! Then the cruel bastards have been predicting her death and how long she might last. Do they not think about the damage they are doing in the name of ‘entertainment’? Not does this poor woman have to deal what she is going through but then she has to pick up a paper and find that people are predicting her death! How about the rest of family? What about her friends? What about her partner? And most importantly, what about her children? How do they think her children are going to feel when they grow up not only without a Mother but then reading about people predicting her death or one week the Media have done nothing but slag her off but the following week they are worshiping her? IT MAKES ME SICK!

I know you’re never likely to read this Jade but my heart goes out to you, to your friends, to your family, to Jack and to your beautiful children. It is not important how well educated you are or from what background you come from. What is important is the person you became despite everything you’ve been through – a wonderful, loving, genuine person who brought two beautiful children into this God Forsaken world and giving them the love that you sadly didn’t receive.

I sincerely hope that you and those close to you can enjoy what precious time you have left and thank you for bringing the Cancer cause to those who have never seen it.

You truly are an inspiration to us all and your children will be very proud of you.
