Jade.A beautiful, strong crystal that symbolizes strength and healing.A perfect name for a powerful woman who has battled against the odds her entire life.Sometimes, the best we can do is simply not enough.Life doesn't care if you're a mother or a wife, if you have young children who need you or friends who adore you.Life doesn't care if your husband would be lost without you.Life reminds us, over and over again, how little control we have.Jade is needed and loved and important and vibrant.None of that matters when her heart gives out.A second transplant is not an option.Time is not on her side.The family gathers to bid farewell.Sometimes, despite everything, we have no control over what is meant to be.
