A daughter

"A Daughter: The companion, the friend, and the confidant of her mother, and the object of a pleasure something like the love between the angels to her father." ♥ Jade ♥

YOU BRING JOY AND LOVE TO EVERYONE WHO MEET YOU AND EVERY PERSON THAT GET TO SHARE APART OF YOU IS TRULY BLESSED. MAY YOU ALWAYS BE GUIDED AND PROTECTED BY OUR WONDERFUL LORD. MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE, MAY YOU EXPERIENCE LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO THE FULL EXTEND. MAY YOU NEVER EVER FORGET HOW LOVED YOU ARE!

"Our Dear Lord, THANK YOU for blessing us with Jade. Thank you for choosing us to be her parents. Thank your for protecting her everyday, please continue to guide and protect her throughout her life. Help her to make the right decisions and to always be close to You, our heavenly Father. Help us, as her parents, to stand by her and teach her the right from wrongs, not only in words but in actions to. Let us set an example to her that she can be proud to follow. Just as we are proud to be her parents. Dear Lord, please never forsake us. We love you. In Jesus Name. Amen"

Thank you for each and every person who took the time to be at Jade's Birthday Party on Sunday. I know it was the final of the Worldcup and therefore you presence were even more valued!!! After all, life is about family and friends, not about rugby games! ;-) So thank you from the BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! It was a great success and she truly enjoyed herself. Even though she was very sickies, she had such a fever when we woke up and after the party we let her sleep for awhile and then took her to the Doctor to find out the poor little Angel has Tonsilitis! But even with that, she had a great day.

Then want to say a special thank you to a few people. Granny, for making the most beautiful little bags for all the girls at the party! You are a super star and as always can be counted on no matter what. Thank you Oumie Nettie for helping me get everything ready the night before and also with the school treat bags! We so lucky to have you in our lives! Also Grissie,aka, Kakka, with helping to set up the party and also with the help of preparing everything, all the input and weeks of patients with me! You are my BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE! Granpa Will and Jason, Shane and Melissa, thank you for helping clean up, really appreciate it! It was such a hot day and
I am sure you also just wanted to get home, but yet you were kind enough to help us. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Thank you for every person who contributed to her Jungle gym, SHE LOVED IT TO SAY THE LEAST! It was the perfect gift and I am sure she is going to have endless of fun on it!

Thank you to EACH AND EVERY person who send a message yesterday on her birthday and phoned her. It is HEARTWARMING to know how much she means to you all, just know you mean just as much to her and us.

Thank you for Granny, Lissa, Shane, Oumie, Ouma Caroline, Oupie, Ian and Lalie for being there last night, to sing and blow candles and play and just CELEBRATE this wonderful special day with Jade. We love you all very very much.

William, a special THANK YOU to you, you are a TRUE example of what a Daddy must be. Anyone can be a Father, but it takes a SPECIAL MAN to be a Daddy. And you are WONDERFUL. Jade is blessed with you just as you are with her and I have the greatest blessing of you both! You give FULL meaning to the word Father. You ALWAYS there for Jade, you make sure she knows how much she means to you and how much you love her. You make her feel like she is the only girl in the world and you treat her like a Princess. You have time for her and even when its hard with work and other obligations, YOU MAKE TIME FOR HER! All the presents in the world can never equal up to the TIME you spend with her! And best of all you do it so effortlessly, not expecting anything but a smile back from her! That is REAL unselfish, FATHERLY LOVE! I am so so proud of you Wills, really, no words can describe. When I look at the two of you together, my heart SWELLS with pride and I want to shout out to the world! THAT IS MY HUSBAND WITH MY DAUGHTER!!!

I love you both, more than I can ever explain!

I will post photo's of the party soon, here are just some of her actual Birthday!

Much love

Tash

A song dedication to my Jade pie!

WHEN WE WERE AT THE COLDPLAY CONCERT AND THEY SANG THIS SONG, I JUST THOUGHT OF JADIE PIE...SO THIS ONE IS FOR HER FROM ME, FOREVER AND ALWAYS.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face

AND LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME
AND IGNITE YOUR BONES
AND I WILL TRY TO FIX YOU!!

Mommy loves you endlessly Jadie pie, and I will ALWAYS be here for you!!!

When I woke up, Jade (and Daddy) wrapped me a wand, crown, earings, and clips for my hair that Jade choose. She couldnt wait to give it to me. She first sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, twice! lol! PRICELESS! Then gave me the gift and helped me unwrap it. When I put it on, she said: "Okay now its my turn", I then said: "But its my birthday present", which she then very wisely replied: "Mommy, sharing is caring and you must also let other people play with your stuff sometime" Well, there you have it...lol! I think the Sharing is caring part is from the school, because I see the it is the theme on the artwork too!

I had such a wonderful birthday, because of all the wonderful people in my life.

I truly am the LUCKIEST girl in the world! Riches doesn't come in gold and silver, but in friends and family, and I am the richest person in the world.

I thank God for each and everyone of you, not just for making my birthday so special, but for making my LIFE special.

I love you all FOREVER!!!
