John Travolta Shares Touching Message After His Son's Seventh Death Anniversary

A poignant message, written by John Travolta has gone viral. But has been removed after garnering thousands of likes. The main thought is like: Live today as if it were your last.

John Travolta lost his son Jett on Jan. 2, 2009, after the 16-year-old boy had a seizure and hit his head while on a holiday in Freeport, Bahamas. Now, seven years have passed, the actor is still grieving over his son's death and took it to social media, urging all parents and children not to take "any moment for granted."

"They say the hardest thing in the world is losing a parent. I can now say that it isn't true. The hardest thing in the world is losing a child," the father remarked, along with black and white pic -- showing him and his son looking and smiling at each other. "Someone you raised and watched grow everyday. Someone you taught how to walk and talk. Someone you showed how to love."

The message then went on by saying that his son's death was the "worst" thing that ever happened to him. And 16 years of raising his child taught him a lot of things, including how to "love unconditionally." He then urged all of the family to stop for a while and be "thankful" for their children and parents because "life is very short."

Travolta then advised all of the parents and children to spend quality time with each other and should treat each other well because one day you might find and realize that "they won't be there anymore." In his message, it was also reiterated, "What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last."

The message then went on by encouraging all the readers to tell everyone they love "that you love them everyday." Further adding that life shouldn't be taken for "granted."

The message about bereavement was posted on Facebook ten days after his son's death anniversary, but was later removed after being shared more than 100, 000 times and garnering over 300,000 likes.
