In his last words subscribed in a small piece of paper, Juliana Kanyamozi’s late son Keron Raphael, made a moving bold confession of pain and brevity, an attribute that left mourners teary on the Friday burial day.

The little ink hand written note read: “I am used to needles now. Do you know how many injections I have got and I did not feel pain not even crying.”

It was the first time his father Amon Lukwago, a Ugandan businessman, spoke publicly about the late 11-year-old son since news of his love affair with the celebrated Ugandan singer broke a decade ago.

In his tribute, Lukwago talked bravely about the boy who had struggled with asthma for years saying he remained optimistic about life until the final hours.

“As we travelled to Nairobi, we were communicating. Although he was unable to talk, he was able to scribble a few lines and even wrote me a note promising me that he was going to be strong.

“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,” he said.
