Kenyan music producer, Tedd Josiah has been parenting his daughter all alone since his wife passed on. He always share his parenting skills through his social media platforms.
Through a throwback video that he shared on his Instagram account, he advised dads to always be there for their children. He wrote; “How did we get this bonded…? Well when mama left I decided to become JayJay’s mom to a point I had to teach her nanny how to wash her, feed her and take care of her as an infant cause I was the only one who understood her.
Not that it was my wish but to see her grow into a little girl now is amazing! She’s changing right before my eyes and I thank God every day for her. As we continue on our journey I pray this inspires more dads to be more hands-on with their babies and get involved in actual day to day raising and not just paying the bills. They bond with us more not because of the money we give them but because of the time we spend with them. BE PRESENT LIVE LOVE LAUGH.”
Tedd lost his wife, Reginah Katar three months after they welcomed their daughter, Jayjay after a short illness. His late wife was a musician, fashion designer and a trained journalist; “Ours was love at first sight. We had both gone through tumultuous times and we met at a point in our lives when all we wanted to do was to settle down and settling we did, “Tedd said.
Like a pearl hidden in a shell deep into the ocean, Tedd’s marriage to Reginah was a closely guarded secret and the news of his wife’s death caught many people off guard. According to Tedd, as much as he is a celebrity, he prefers to keep his personal life out of the public glare.
In addition, he and Reginah had agreed to work on their marriage first before letting other people in; “We were a happy couple and the birth of our daughter Jameela, or Jay Jay as we fondly refer to her, was the icing on the cake. We had great plans for the future and travelling was one of the many things that were in the pipeline. We had also just launched a clothing line under her name, ” he added.
