The television host and actor appeared on NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday to discuss Zen’s tragic death. The infant, who was just 5 months old, died earlier this month from a brain tumor.
“You pray for miracles,” Cannon told co-host Hoda Kotb. “Coming from a faith-based background, it’s not for the miracle to do something that’s unknown to us, but it’s really for the things that we can find comfort in. So I asked for the miracle of strength to be able to be here today, and that I find that peace that surpasses all understanding.”
Adding, “I’m taking it as my therapist says, five minutes at a time. I’m optimistic in finding the purpose through all of the pain, so I’m attempting to smile, I’m attempting to be the high-frequency individual that I’ve set out to be, but along the way there’s definitely some curves in the journey, so I’m taking it five minutes at a time.”
Cannon’s shared details recently on Instagram that his son was diagnosed with a condition called hydrocephalus.
