The touching caption accompanied the adorable throwback photo featuring Ella when she was a toddler in the arms of her smiling mom.

Little Ella looked adorable in a cute blush pink t-shirt that matched her mom’s pink top. The toddler had her hair in short dark locks, a contrast to her mom’s dark blonde locks.

Preston, Ella’s mother, passed away on July 12 at the age of 57 after battling breast cancer for two years. On October 13, the actress would have turned 58 years old.

Ella’s father, Preston’s husband, actor John Travolta also took to social media to celebrate his wife’s birthday. The actor posted a throwback like his daughter did with the message:

“Happy Birthday hon! I found this photo of my mom and dad‘s wedding. It was nice to see ours alongside theirs. All my love, John.”

The photo was a collage of a snap from his and Preston’s wedding alongside a snap from his parent’s wedding. Preston looked absolutely radiant, and the couple looked perfect together.

The actor and his daughter, Ella, late in August, appeared in a touching video in which they did one of Preston’s favorite things to do while she was alive.

The father and daughter duo were seen twirling around on an empty dancefloor to some soothing jazz music. Fans were touched by the beauty of it all. Months later, the father and daughter have continued to remember their special lady for the amazing woman that she was.
