Jade says....

A few of Jade's sayings lately....



When she got her tonsils taken out, she got sick the one night and coughed up blood, needless to day, I was very worried, the next day she says to Granny:

"I was sick last night and when I coughed, blood came out and my mom was freaking out"

Also, we went to bed, and always before we sleep, we tell each other how much we love each other, and Jade will say, "I love you more than my fingers and toes and all the sand on the beach and all the stars in the sky" I will then say the same and I also say to her, "I love you even when you naughty" Then the other night she said to me:

"Mommy I love you even when you sad, when you sad, I ask Jesus: Jesus, please take care of my Mommy and make her happy and please send her a special pink butterfly"

Then, I was sick the other day, I had food poisoning, and I got up and ran to the toilet, Jade was standing by the door and very concerned, asked me if I am okay, I said to her no, I am really not feeling well, then got sick, she then said:

“Wait right here….” ,ran to her room, fetched her big teddy bear and said: “Here you can have him until you feel better”

Yesterday morning, I got up and cut her up some apple and gave it to her, while she was watching a movie, she then said:

“Wow, you really make my home a restaurant”

NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!! I LOVE YOU JADIE PIE

To Jade...

I found this and want to dedicate to Jade:

I gave you life, but cannot live it for you.
I can teach you things, but I cannot make you learn....
I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful clothes, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.
I can offer you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.
I can advise you about friends, but cannot choose them for you.
I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.
I can tell you the facts of life, but I can't build your reputation.
I can tell you about drink, but I can't say "no" for you.
I can warn you about drugs, but I can't prevent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goals, but I can't achieve them for you.
I can teach you about kindness, but I can't force you to be gracious.
I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you moral.
I can love you as a child, but I cannot place you in God's family.
I can pray for you, but I cannot make you walk with God.
I can tell you how to live, but I cannot give you eternal life

One thing I do know and I can promise, is that I will love you EVERY DAY of your life and FOREVER after, no matter what, I will always be by your side to love you and support you...You are my world! I love you Jadie pie...I can't even begin to tell you how much.

Silly Tonsils....12 April 2012

Jadie got her tonsils taken out on Thursday, I felt so so sorry for her, specially when they put her under and when she woke up, she didn't know what was going on and when she woke up, she had this pain in her throat and was so confused. My heart broke into a million pieces.

She ate well in the hospital after about 20min, so she could go home the same day. When she got home she was eating well too. The first 2 days were hard, I could see she was not herself and had lots of pain, but from the 3rd day she got better, by Sunday she was much better!

So proud of you Jadie! I love you with all my heart & Soul, and toes and fingers, and stars in the sky and sand on the beach (as quoted by Jade...lol...that how she says I love you before we go sleep at night)

Glad its all over, it was so hard, but know it was for the best, according to the Doctor, Jadie will do much better now and not get sick as often.

Thank you for everyone's prayers, support and messages, it means the world to us. We Thank our wonderful God for keeping her safe in His hands and helping her to recover so quickly. Thank you Grissie for being there at the hospital, it meant so much to have you there. Thank you Ouma Nettie for coming everyday and helping with Jadie, we really love you so much and we are so thankful to have you in our lives. Thank you Granny for letting Jadie stay by you before and after the surgery to make sure she doesnt get sickies, we love you Granny and we can not thank you enough for all you do for us!!

I truly believe, Jade has gone through this and healed so quickly by all the love she has around her, she is a very blessed little girl!

Easter 2012 - (8 April 2012)

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter! Its such an amazing holiday to Celebrate, to think we are all so important to God that he send his Son to die for our sins. A love like that is almost unbelievable, yet its true, our God has that love for YOU AND ME!!

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday at home, thank to everyone who came, its always so nice to have the family together.

Easter is especially nice through the eyes of a child. Can you believe we missed the Easter Bunny AGAIN this year....we will just have to try again next year to catch him, atleast he left us lots of Chocolates and we had so much fun looking for them all over the garden and house.
