Legacies

I heard on the news last night that Jade Goody died of cervical cancer. Unbelievably sad. I voted for her to stay in and win Big Brother years ago. There was something so honest and 'what you see is what you get' about her.
Of all the days to die in the yearly calender she's taken on Mothers Day, leaving her mother daughterless and her sons motherless but that adds tremendous power to her legacy to go on saving countless lives.
Last week I was invited for a smear test. I tend to avoid them as I don't like them. I told myself to grow up and rang the doctor's surgery to book an appointment but it rang out every time I tried. I will keep on trying.
Thank you Jade. You were, and continue to be, an inspiration.
