After taking a hiatus from social media following his father's death David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, made a brief appearance on Twitter over the weekend.

Jones retweeted a thank you note from a doctor who said he was able to connect with a patient because of the musician.

The note thanked Bowie for his music and his strength throughout his battle with cancer.

Bowie died Jan. 10 at the age of 69.

Prior to Jones' retweet of the note, the last thing he'd posted on Twitter was this heartfelt message: "Very sorry and sad to say it's true. I'll be offline for a while. Love to all."
