In a 2011 interview with Health, Kelly Preston shared her joy over welcoming her third child, Benjamin Travolta, at age 48. She also had some advice for readers: “Love your kids like it could be the last moment.” Nine years later, John Travolta shared the tragic news that his wife had died from breast cancer, and he said on Instagram that he’d be focusing on family time. By then, Ella Bleu Travolta was also on social media, and she posted a heartbreaking message of her own addressed to her mom. “Thank you for your help and thank you for making this world a better place,” it read in part. “You have made life so beautiful and I know you will continue to do so always.”
A source told Us Weekly that Preston was one of Ella’s closest friends, and Tracee Dunblazier, a spiritual empath, explained to the Inquisitr that having this type of relationship with her mom potentially helped Ella start the grieving process early. Preston received her diagnosis two years before she died, so during that time, Ella had to witness the toll that her mother’s cancer treatments took on her physically and emotionally.
