Last time we spoke not too long ago you wanted to buy me a drink, I had to perform at a wedding and I said I can’t make it, but I told you to “have one on me”… I wish I’d come and atleast hang out one last time. Thank you for making me look and feel fabulous with every outfit you hand picked for me, but most of all thank you for being my friend. I’m gonna miss you terribly Chucky. As you chill out in heaven, please have one on me. Till we meet again. I love you. RIP.” She said.

A few years ago Juliana’s only son passed away at the age of 11 in July 2014, at a hospital in Nairobi after suffering from an acute asthma attack.

The death of her only child saw her take impromptu retreat from work and the social scene and she says;

“I’ve been through a lot. I’ve always been extremely strong. But this was beyond it. There are things that happen to you and you cannot find the perfect vocabulary to explain them. It’s that pain that leaves you helpless and no one else but God can help!” Juliana opened up a while back. 

Giving back

On Thursday September 20, the singer spent the better part of her day, which was her son’s birthday with Children Of Prisoners Uganda courtesy of her foundation, The Keron Kabugo Foundation.

The foundation was set up in 2016 by Keron’s parents Julianna Kanyomozi and Aamon Kabugo to support underprivileged children in his memory.

“Today we visited Children Of Prisoners Uganda as part of the @keronkabugofoundation activities. Thank you Mr. Kasule for allowing us come spend some time with the lovely children. No better way to celebrate our angel Keron’s birthday than this. Thank you for being so selfless and opening your home for the children,” she said on Instagram.

“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 a part 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”
