John Travolta is sending a loving message to his late son Jett Travolta.
On what would have been his 33rd birthday, the former star of Grease posted a tribute to his and his late spouse Kelly Preston’s son, on Instagram.
On your birthday, Jett, my heart aches to be with you again, but I cherish every moment we shared. Looking back at this photo of us brings so much joy and love. Forever missing you, Jett, and sending all my love in return. April 13th.
Despite Jett Travolta passing away at the age of 16 in 2009 following a seizure during a family vacation, his Oscar-winning father John Travolta and mother Kelly have honored their firstborn son annually with a tribute. Their children Ella Bleau Travolta, aged 24, and Benjamin Travolta, aged 14, are also part of this loving family.
Last April on Instagram, John posted a picture of him and the late Kelly (who passed away in 2020 at age 57 after battling breast cancer for two years), writing: “Every day, you are always by my side!
As I reflect on the life of the remarkable woman who graced our screens in “Battlefield Earth,” I find myself drawn to her final social media posts, which included a heartfelt birthday message for her son Jett. Yet, amidst the joy and celebration, she took a moment to impart wisdom and shed light on their recent autism diagnosis, marking this special occasion as a tribute to National Autism Acceptance Month.
As I penned down my thoughts on Instagram last April, I couldn’t help but express my heartfelt affection towards individuals with autism and unique abilities. These extraordinary beings hold a cherished spot in my life. My remarkable son Jetty, a soul brimming with playfulness and warmth, was one of the most delightful encounters I’ve ever had. Sending love and light to every individual with autism and special needs across the globe. ❤️
Earlier, John pondered deeply about the heavy impact of losing a child who was incredibly young when he passed away.
He shared with Entertainment Tonight in 2015 that my son and I had lived a richly filled life spanning sixteen years. We ventured around the globe, ensuring he saw every corner before he reached that age. One always expects their child’s life to be longer, but it’s always you who are meant to go first.
He underscored the point, “Despite the rich life we shared, you sought a fulfilling life for him individually.
After they both figured out ways to cope with their sorrow, John confessed, “I managed during a period when I thought I wouldn’t survive.
