August 21, 2019, will forever be etched in the memory of J Blessing, a top video director, as the day he lost his six-month-old son, Kyle, four years ago.
Speaking to a local publication, J Blessing recounted the painful experience, saying that the memories of their son are still vivid in his mind.
"When he was sick, he was given an immunisation injection and a few weeks later, he died," J Blessing recalled.
He shared that during that time, he was going through a lot in life and was hopeful that a miracle would happen, but unfortunately, he received the dreaded call minutes after he had prayed for his son's healing.
"Because people talk of God doing miracles in their lives and this was the time I wanted to see Him doing something visible. Five minutes after the prayer, I got a call from the hospital that my son had died," he narrated.
Chantelle, J Blessing's ex-partner, had previously denied rumors that the break-up was due to Kyle's passing, saying, "Those who keep on saying that these differences came from the issue on our baby I would say you'd better be sensitive about such matters. That is a sleeping angel. Allow our son to rest."
She explained that the relationship didn't work because they had differences and J Blessing was always traveling.
J Blessing has since moved on and has a son with radio presenter Mwende Macharia and a daughter with Chantelle.
