Once you suffer the loss of a loved one, life is never the same again.

After a doctor referred them to a hospital in Kenya for specialized treatment, Singer Juliana Kanyomozi accompanied by her ex Amon Lukwago and their son Keron Raphael flew to Nairobi on July 13th, 2014 for medical attention after Keron suffered an asthma attack.

Unable to talk as they travelled, Keron scribbled a few lines promising his parents that he was going to be ok.

“It was at that moment that I broke down and cried because I saw that he was really fighting for his life. I had hopes that he was going to be fine. Keron has been a strong boy,’’ said Lukwago at the time speaking to journalists.

“I am used to needles now. Do you know how many injections I have got and I did not feel pain not even crying,” the note by then 11-year-old Keron read.

But his young body could fight no more and he died in his father’s arms at the Aga Khan hospital in Nairobi where he had been admitted.

“He breathed his last as I held him. Before he passed away, I looked at him and he also looked in my eyes but we could not communicate. That is the time I realized that my son was going for good,” Lukwago a sound engineer and Dj narrated.

In remembrance of her late son, Julianna penned an emotional letter recalling the sweet moments she shared with Keron.

Today my angel has made four years in heaven. And it never gets any easier. I remember your silly jokes, your sense of humor, your charm, your ability to make friends of all ages and somehow engage all of them with such ease. You were just so perfect. I miss your hugs and the foot massages ????. You always told me I’m “THE BEST MUM EVER”, I don’t know what I did to deserve this compliment , I jus know I did the thing that I loved the most in the world, be your mother. God surely blessed me when he gave me you. On this day I can’t help but think about other parents who’ve just lost a child. Death may be apart of us yes, but the heartache of the loss of a child is immeasurable . May God continue to strengthen us all. RIP Keron Raphael Kabugo Atwooki ???????????????? #ForeverLoveKeron
