Tribute #2 is from Shantel sear
Jayden just had that personality that could draw you in with her infectious laugh and funny and witty sense of humour!,i remember when we was younger we used to actually do our make up horrible on purpose,do our hair ridiculous styles and wear strange clothes and then send pictures of us looking like this to boys who “liked us” or posted them on Facebook just to actually put boys off us because boyfriends was on last of our agenda 😂😂,having a sense of humour to us was way more important than impressing boys 😂,and we just loved to joke around and have fun and mess about in general.
sometimes we would get into a little trouble in school sometimes having such a big sense of humour baring in mind but was all good fun when we got together for the day and wouldn’t change a thing I will always cherish our time we had together,i remember when it came to sleep overs,if I was at hers I wouldn’t leave for days,and if she was at mine she wouldn’t leave for days either,we was joint at the hip,me,Jayden,and another close friend of ours I would call the three musketeers we never left eachothers side.
confidence wise she had loads of it!,she was into hair and make up but she was always a Tom boy at heart,u didn’t know if you was going to get girly Jayden for the day or tracksuit Jayden but both versions we loved and she pulled off both looks so well anyways! And always fit in perfectly in a group of boys or girls she just had that likability about her ,going back to the confidence I was talking about….one day for my 16th birthday we had gone to tgi Fridays with my mum and aunty and Jayden, my aunty had noticed a ok looking lad at the bar,she was to shy and scared to say hello or approach him,Jayden said hang on a sec to my aunty,she’s walked straight up to the man at the bar,she’s talking,they are smiling she’s laughing I’m wondering what’s going on…two seconds later she walks over with a massive grin on her face and slaps down a napkin for my aunty with his whole name and number written on it 😂,baring in mind we had never experienced a bar yet or approaching anyone in a bar for that matter,she had the confidence everyone longed to have and I loved that about her,it always made her stand out in a room and again along side the sense of humour this was great really a girl with a great personality,I don’t say the expression she lit up a room lighty,she really did light up a room,not sure about the hundred voice notes I used to get singing lily Allan though,the singing voice may have been abit suspect but she loved to mess about and sing along and have fun with music,and would do anything to hear her not so good singing again just for five more mins.
she also was a brilliant at drawing,I remember seeing a drawing of a horse on the back of her bedroom door she had drew like it’s yesterday,I remember asking her since when have u drawn she said oh I do it when I’m bored sometimes I would tell her to carry on but she would get abit bored of it,or be to busy with friends to want to draw,she had so many talents and so many personality traits to offer and so much to offer in general it’s a great heart break & shame to say she’s gone,I will always remember the advice given,the laughs given,the times we cried together and even life lessons we had to learn together,she taught me a lot,she taught me to be strong,not to be a push over,she stopped my bullying,she stopped my anxiety,she was like a big sister I never had,and I didn’t know I needed till I met,and because of this Jayden’s name was given to my daughter as her middle name so her name would live on,these are all small memories compared to what we actually went through together and our time together but to me they mean the world,and bring great happiness to me to be able to talk about,loveyou so much Jayden,your time on this earth was to short but god takes his best angels first unfortunately 🥺❤️,hopefully your name and story will carry on a legacy that can carry on protecting girls just like you always did when you was here!,sadly and with great heart break your story will be one more life lesson,hopefully to many women around the world,my big sister from another mr!,we loveyou Jayden miss you,you was and are still so much more than what happened to you and I’ll cherish every memory and hear that laugh of yours forever when I close my eyes 😢 ❤️
