Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult and challenging obstacles anyone can face. While we all do our best to grieve and process our emotions on a day-to-day basis, certain holidays can be especially painful. For the Travolta family, Mother's Day has been different since losing their wife and mother, Kelly Preston.
Now, John is sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to commemorate his late wife.
Kelly, best known for her roles in Jerry Maguire, Mischief, and The Cat in the Hat, died in July 2020 after a two-year battle with breast cancer.
"It is with a very heavy heart that I inform you that my beautiful wife Kelly has lost her two-year battle with breast cancer," he wrote alongside a photo of Kelly.
"I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while."
In the months following the actress's death, John never let a holiday pass without posting about his late wife.
"Dearest Kelly, you brought into my life three of the most wonderful children I have ever known. Thank you. We love and miss you. Happy Mother’s Day."
In a new video posted by John, the Grease actor shared a video montage of his late wife set to Barbra Streisand’s “That Face" playing in the background.
"From me to you," the text on the screen read. "With all my love, Johnny."
Comments soon became flooded with messages of love and support for the grieving family.
"All my love to you and your family," wrote one fan.
"Kelly is looking over all of you," wrote another.
