Despite living in Brazil and have never had contact with the Family Travolta, I feel a deep regret at the circumstances.
Since I was a teenager already appreciated the films of John Travolta, and that happens to the current days.
It is as if a close relative had my deceased.
My condolences to the Family Travolta. And God, in His eternal wisdom, to nurture the hearts of them.

So what if Jett was Autistic as is claimed! The fact that his parents can treat him as a "normal" child is far more loving and important than what the media are trying to exploit. It is very sad for anyone and everyone concerned. NO parent is supposed to bury their child.
My heartfelt condolences to all parents and families who have lost a loved one this Xmas.
