Jade's boys took flowers and held her hand gently as she sleptBy RICHARD WHITE
DAVID WILLETTS and ANDY CRICK
JADE Goody’s young sons took flowers to her bedside yesterday in what could be one of their final visits to their beloved Mummy.
The angelic pair sat gently clasping the dying star’s hands after little Freddie had picked her a delicate daffodil.
But frail Jade — heavily sedated and exhausted as she nears the end of her grim battle with terminal cancer — then fell asleep with the lads still clinging sadly on.A source said: “It was a real tear-jerking moment to see the three of them together at such a sad time.”
Earlier four-year-old Freddie, shirtless and with his painted face swathed in a giant grin, had plucked the daffodil for his reality TV star mum, whose condition had deteriorated over the weekend.
He played happily in the garden with brother Bobby, five, Jade’s new hubby Jack Tweed and the boys’ gran Jackiey Budden.
The kids and Jack all had their faces daubed with paint. Freddie had coloured Jack’s entirely black.
The family had been hoping for friends and loved ones to visit their home in Upshire, Essex, for an early Mother’s Day celebration.
But Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford said she was not well enough and spent much of the day asleep.
Instead, the boys were taken to her side after Macmillan nurses caring for the Big Brother favourite said she had only hours to live.
Mr Clifford said: “The boys went to see her and she was aware of them for a brief moment or two. She saw them and she smiled.“She has put her house in order and faced up to everything in an incredibly brave way. Now we’re waiting for the inevitable. It could be at any time, we just don’t know.”
HeavenJade, 27 — diagnosed with cervical cancer last summer — discharged herself from hospital last week so she could die at home.
She told the boys then: “Mummy’s going to heaven soon. I’m going to be a star up in the sky, so when you are looking up you will be able to see me and know I’m there, always looking over you.
“Mummy’s going to be up there looking over you. Close your eyes and you can talk to me.”
And yesterday when bewildered Freddie asked at her bedside: “Why are you so sleepy?” she gave the heartbreaking reply: “Because the angels are calling Mummy.”A priest also visited Jade yesterday to say prayers and blessings. Father Francis, of West London’s Ealing Abbey, was chosen by the star because he had beaten cancer.
Jade is now so weak from her cancer that she can barely smile.But she still insisted on seeing her precious sons as she slipped in and out of consciousness.
A nurse has told Jack, 21, and 50-year-old Jackiey that the next time Jade falls into a deep sleep she will probably not wake up.A very close family friend said: “It’s over. Jade barely has the strength to talk. She will occasionally weep, but is too frail now to even squeeze her mum’s hand.
“The nurses talk to her quietly and do what they can to control the pain. They told Jack that the next time she falls into a deep sleep she probably won’t wake up.
“Her disease has been so cruel to her — and everyone who loves her. We just want her suffering to stop.”
Jade’s condition worsened on Friday when nurses feared she had stopped breathing. Jack, whose parole curfew has been relaxed so he can visit his wife outside of his strict 7am to 7pm regime, was called at 11.30pm and rushed to her side.
Meanwhile Jackiey yesterday requested a Sun picture of her daughter, which she plans to hang in Bobby’s new bedroom.
It was snapped just weeks ago and shows Jade looking healthy and happy as she strolled down her drive wearing a huge smile.
Jackiey said: “Bobby wants a big boy’s room now so I’m decorating that. I want that picture on the main wall. It’s beautiful.
“That’s the way he should remember his mum.”
Jackiey added: “It’s not day by day now. It’s more like hour by hour. I’m stronger than Jack at the moment. Together, we’ve built a strong community to cope with it.”
But amid the heartbreak, defiant Jade astonished medics by blasting a nurse who she heard discussing her health. The star overheard the gloomy conversation as she lay in bed. And she yelled: “I’m not f****** dead yet, so stop that talk.”Jade also displayed her trademark feistiness by ordering her mum to buy her a LOTTERY ticket and indicating her chosen numbers.
A family friend said last night: “Jade might be at death’s door, but she’s got some proper Bermondsey fight in her yet.
“She must have got angry about all the negative talk as she came out with a really fiery outburst.
“Then she told Jackiey she wanted to play the lottery.”
Jackiey, Jack and personal trainer pal Kevin Adams were all keeping a vigil by Jade’s bedside last night. A source said: “They know the end is near and want to be with her.’’
Thousands of messages of support continue to flood into The Sun.
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is also expected to fly into Britain this week to try to see Jade before she dies. They fell out during Celebrity Big Brother 2007, when Jade was plunged into a race row over her treatment of the Indian beauty.
The picture of Freddie enjoying the first rays of springtime sun is made all the more poignant by the Marie Curie Cancer Care Great Daffodil Appeal this month.
It urges people to wear the flower as a sign of support in beating the disease.
