Usher is Back on Twitter After Death of Stepson Kile Glover

Usher hasn't said anything to the public since his stepson Kile Glover was declared brain dead two weeks ago.   Ex-wife Tameka Foster and biological father of Kile, Ryan Glover, have also remained very private.  

11-year-old Kile was declared brain dead after he was hit by a jet ski water craft driven by a family friend.  Netizens took to their social pages to send prayers and comfort to Usher, Tameka Foster, Ryan Glover and family. 

Foster tweeted simply, "#Pray4Kile".  There was hope that Kile might wake up from his coma, but the reality was dim.  After 2 weeks, the tough decision was made to take Kile off life support on Saturday morning (July 21).

It was reported that Usher has been surrounding himself with family and friends who helped to strengthen him through this difficult trial.

Usher stopped all activity on Twitter for over 2 weeks, and has finally tweeted one photo today (July 24) with the message "Breakfast of champions".

It was well received with responses including:

"glad to see you back on twitter :)"

"Missed you. Wish you the best. I know you'll only get stronger and better"

@UsherRaymondIV beautiful meal! #LOVE & prayers out to u and your family ❤ #oneLove ❤

@UsherRaymondIV that looks yum so happy u tweeted sendin loads of love & hugs & I hope ur special gift reaches u that I sent last week mwah

Usher's godfather told Huffington Post, "I'm proud of [him] because he's standing strong.  It's a terrible thing when a parent has to bury their child. No parent should ever have to bury his or her child. I know because I buried one. So please continue your prayers for him and [his] family for strength and healing."
