August 6, 2020, was a day that will be etched in the memory of Tedd Josiah and his daughter Jay Jay for a long time. The little girl, who has grown up without her mother, asked her dad a question that left him speechless.
According to Tedd Josiah, Jay Jay had been noticing that her cousins have both a mother and a father, and she couldn't understand why she only had one parent. The question that left her dad speechless was: 'Daddy, where is my mommy?'
Tedd Josiah, who has been a single parent to Jay Jay since her mother's untimely death, was taken aback by the question. He tried to explain to her that her mother is in heaven and is always watching over her. However, Jay Jay's curiosity didn't end there. She asked if her mom was going to bring her sweets, and Tedd Josiah, trying to be positive, replied that yes, her mom would bring her sweets.
It's clear that Jay Jay's question was sparked by her interactions with her cousins, and it's a reminder that children often notice and understand more than we give them credit for. We can only wish Tedd Josiah and his daughter nothing but love and light as they navigate this challenging situation.
