This is the two-year anniversary of Jade Goody's untimely death from cervical cancer. The mother of two adorable boys ironically died on Mother's Day of 2009. She was the ultimate Reality TVstar whose childhood in the slums of London was far from ideal. But she rose above the ashes and became one of the most sought after celebrities and a certified brand. Fame, fortune, and male admirers were now the norm for the "Girl from Bermonsdey". But all that was swiftly taken away after her shocking diagnosis in the summer of 2008. After years of fainting spells and being in and out of the hospital, the inevitable finally ocurred and in the spring of the following year the final blow was delivered. She was told she had mere weeks to live. She decided to marry her true love Jack Tweed, and allowed the cameras to film the happiest and saddest day of her life. Soon after the wedding it was clear that Jade's days were numbered and she then decided to arrange a baptism for her and her beloved boys. So they would be re-assured that despite her physical absence, she was always going to be there for them in spirit. And then she was gone. A bright light abruptly turned off leaving us to wonder why bad things happen to good people. Jade made her 27 years on earth count for something. Hopefully those of us left behind will try to do the same. Rest easy Jade!
