Oh Melissa, I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face. The love you have for your Jade just ooozed from your post. I know exactly how you feel about having to make that painful decision when you weren't prepared for it.
It sucks big time doesn't it.
What a beautiful girl your Jade is. Such a sweet, sweet face.
I am so sorry that you had to go through this and my heart is breaking for you.
((((((HUGS)))))) dear Melissa.

Rest in Peace sweet Jade and have fun on the RB.
