The actor opened up about his loss, taking his audience through his journey since Zen was born in June. He also shared the struggles leading to his death and his last moments.

During the first two months of Zen's life, his parents had noticed that their child had interesting breathing and a persistent cough. His parents always thought Zen had a bad case of sinuses.

When it did not seem to go away, the alarmed parents took him for a check-up, but the doctors disclosed that he was suffering from a form of cancer characterized by a tumor in his head.

After a successful surgery, his parents could rest easy, but after Thanksgiving, the condition seemed only to get worse. The tumor grew fast, and the parents knew they were running out of time.

Zen spent his last weekend at the beach with his parents before succumbing to the illness and waving the world goodbye on December 5.

A TATTOO TO HONOR ZEN

The grieving parents mourned their son, as fans from all over the world paid tribute to young Zen, wishing him peace on his way. But Cannon is doing more to honor his son's memories.

During the "Pic of the Day" segment on an episode of "The Nick Cannon Show," Cannon had an emotional tribute lined up for his viewers.

The rapper showed a framed photo of a tattoo he got on the side of his stomach, a process he says caused him a lot of pain. It was, however, worth the pain.

On the other hand, Scott is honoring her son by sharing cute photos of their time together. One such photo shows Zen in his car seat while others show the mother-son duo at the beach.

And for the first time since losing her son, Scott was spotted outdoors. Exclusive pics obtained by The Sun showed the mother of two dropping off her three-year-old daughter, Zeela, at school in Chico, California.
