Well, Jade may have splashed out on the champagne - I'm not sure if her critics would think that was better, or worse, than having it paid for, by a magazine, or television company.
I can't find any reason to criticise her, today - and even if I could, I don't think it's my place to judge someone, until I've walked a mile in their moccasins, so to speak. Life's too short, etc.
And indeed Jade's life is very short. She will die, as we all will, eventually.
I won't be posting here, when her death is announced. Rather than mention her (many) good points, I would say one word comes to mind, when I see how she has behaved, since she was told her condition was terminal.
That word is 'grace'. Grace is what truly makes the world go around, in my opinion. I've been the recipient of a lot of grace, but haven't dispensed nearly as much of it as I should.
A loud-mouthed, flawed girl from Bermondsey has put me to shame, in that respect.
If I had some champagne, I would raise a toast to her, and her future.
