Famous American actor John Travolta (Pulp Fiction, No Face, From Paris with Love and other films) was a loving father for whom the whole world revolved around his family.

His 16-year-old son died as a result of an epileptic seizure caused by Kawasaki syndrome. It happened in the Bahamas while on vacation.

John Travolta said that losing a child is the worst thing that can ever happen.

The eldest son of John Travolta and actress Kelly Preston, Jettt, who was born with autism, changed their lives from the moment he was born. It was an extraordinary love, as the actor recalls:

‘I can’t imagine what life would be like without Jett. When he was born, he was washed and dressed, I took him in my arms and did not let go for hours.

Kelly was asleep after giving birth, the doctors came to take the baby for tests, but I refused to give him up. He said that not today, another time. It’s like I’ve gone crazy.’

Beloved son lived only 16 years … They were resting with the whole family in a country house on the island of Grand Bahama when the tragedy occurred.

‘We were sleeping when I heard my son knocking on the door in his room downstairs.I immediately rushed to him,’ Travolta recalls.

At this time, there were already nurses near him. They tried to save Jett, who was in a fit.I immediately replaced the one that was doing artificial respiration, while the other one was performing chest compressions at that time.

‘Jett had such seizures regularly, because we knew how to act, what to do. And they always did. Always, except this time.The last…’

Jett was never saved.He died without regaining consciousness.John Travolta with tears in his eyes hugged his dead son and said: ‘I’m sorry, Jett’

Tarino Lightbourne, a paramedic who arrived on the scene, recalled that John Travolta looked insane as he continued to perform CPR on his son.

He begged with tears in his eyes to save him. Tarino later wrote: ‘He was crying, his eyes were red. I remember him staring up at the ceiling and relentlessly saying, ‘God, please help me.’

Lightbourne took the teenager to the hospital. He also witnessed the moment of his death: ‘John walked behind the curtain of the hospital room. There was inexpressible pain in his eyes.

And indescribable love for his son.He would hug his son and say, ‘I’m sorry, Jett.’ I think he meant, ‘I’m sorry, Jett, I did my best.’

In an interview with US Weekly in 2019, John Travolta talked about what it’s like to lose a child.

It was obvious that even after a decade this wound did not heal and continued to hurt, as on the first day.The actor said that after the experience, life can never be the same.

‘This is the worst thing that has ever happened in my life. To tell the truth, I didn’t know if I could survive it…

People say that the hardest thing in the world is to lose a mother or a father. Now I can say that this is not true.

The worst, most difficult thing is losing a child.The one you loved, raised, watched as he grows every day.

The one you taught to walk. The one who taught you to truly love.This is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, ‘the actor wrote on Facebook 10 years after the tragedy.

‘This boy has brought so much joy into my life. So much happiness.These 16 years of fatherhood taught me the most important thing on earth unconditional love,’ the actor added.

John Travolta with tears in his eyes hugged his dead son and said: ‘I’m sorry, Jett’.

John Travolta says he would like to appeal to all people on Earth: ‘We have to stop in the middle of all this fuss and say:’Thank you.

Because we have children. And the children should stop in the middle of all this fuss and say: ‘Thank you.’

Because they have parents. Because life is very short. Spend as much time as possible with your parents, and parents spend as much time as possible with their children.

Be kind, be considerate.Because one day, when you get off the phone, they may no longer be… Love and live every day as if it were the last in your life.Because one day it will be…’
