John Travolta's Son Dies at Age 16

Sunday, January 4, 2008, when all the world still has hang over from the New Year's celebration, the family of John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are mourning over the death of their 16-year-old son, Jett, who was found dead in their bathroom.

Jett has had a history of a sickly childhood, such as seizures, and well, he may be like a time bomb just waiting when to explode.

Travolta is reportedly keeping silent about it until today, when he disclosed to the press that they are deeply grieving their loss. And it is understandable. It is hard enough to loss someone you love, especially if it is your own child.

I will be a mother soon, and it is only now that I am starting to understand the depth of a parents' love to their children. And I can only imagine the heartbreak this much have caused Travolta and his wife.

While the people may talk about what really happened at their home, maybe let us just allow the family to mourn peacefully. It is bad enough to loss one's child and having the press hound you in all sides.

Given the circumstances, I can only think that even the world's rich and famous are not immune to death and loss. It just goes to show that we are all human and no one is above the law of God and nature.
