Emma Heming Willis Pens Heartfelt Tribute to Daughter Mabel on 11th Birthday as Her Father Bruce Battles Dementia

Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis has celebrated her elder daughter's 11th birthday by sharing a touching montage of family photos and videos, set to the iconic song "Pictures Of You" by The Cure. The heartwarming tribute was posted on social media with a sweet message that expressed the pride and love she feels for her little girl.

Mabel Willis is Emma Heming Willis' first child with Bruce Willis, whom she married in 2009. Alongside Mabel, the couple has an 8-year-old daughter Evelyn. Bruce Willis also has three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.

The photo montage showcases the special bond between Emma Heming Willis and her children, including a tender moment of Bruce holding baby Mabel while planting a kiss on her forehead. The update comes as Bruce Willis continues to battle frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia that affects personality, behavior, and language.

In February, Bruce Willis' family announced that his speaking disorder had progressed into FTD, a condition with no current treatments but which may one day be focused on through increased awareness and research. The Alzheimer's Association explains that FTD refers to "a group of disorders caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain's frontal lobes or its temporal lobes".

Emma Heming Willis has been vocal about her husband's condition, sharing updates with their fans and emphasizing the need for greater awareness and research into this debilitating disease. Her heartfelt tribute to Mabel is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, love and family can bring hope and joy to those affected by illness or challenge.

As Bruce Willis continues his journey with FTD, it's clear that Emma Heming Willis will remain by his side, celebrating milestones like Mabel's 11th birthday with love and dedication.
 
I feel so sad for Bruce and his family πŸ€•... dementia is such a tough one to deal with πŸ’”. I remember when my grandma had Alzheimer's, it was heartbreaking watching her struggle to remember things she used to do so easily 😒. It's amazing that Emma is still being so strong and supportive, especially during this tough time πŸ™. Her love for Mabel and the rest of her kids shines through in that beautiful montage, and I'm sure it brought so much joy to their lives ❀️. We all need to keep raising awareness about FTD and supporting families like Bruce's who are going through this journey together πŸ’ͺ.
 
omg I'm totally feeling Emma Heming Willis right now πŸ€—, she's like the ultimate supermom ❀️, managing a family life while her hubby Bruce battles this tough disease πŸ’”. it's so inspiring to see how she prioritizes love and hope over all the chaos πŸ’–. Mabel's 11th birthday might be a milestone for the little girl, but for Emma Heming Willis it's just another reminder of how lucky she is to have such amazing kids πŸ™. I'm sure it can't be easy seeing Bruce struggle with FTD, but he's got an incredible wife and momager who's got his back 24/7 πŸ‘«πŸ’•
 
I just remembered when I went to the beach last summer and saw a giant seaweed-covered rock πŸŒŠπŸ˜‚. It was so cool! I mean, who needs sunbathing when you can explore weird ocean stuff? Anyway, back to Emma Heming Willis... I'm sure it's tough being in the public eye with your family dealing with dementia πŸ’”. But it's great that she's sharing updates and raising awareness – maybe someone will find a cure while I'm at it 🀞!
 
I'm thinking about how hard life must be for the whole Willis family rn πŸ€—. I mean, Bruce is going through this tough time with dementia, and they're still managing to celebrate their kiddos' birthdays in such a beautiful way... it's really inspiring to see how much love they have for each other πŸ’•. And Emma sharing that montage was so sweet, it totally made my day 😊. I just hope that more people can learn about frontotemporal dementia and how it affects families like the Willis'. We should all be sending love and support their way πŸŒˆπŸ’–.

But with love like Emma's β€οΈπŸ’–, we can get through this πŸ’ͺ😊 [GIF of two people holding hands]
 
πŸ€” I'm not sure how fair this is on us - I mean, the public gets to see these adorable family moments while Bruce struggles with a debilitating disease in private πŸ“Ί? Like, what about his mental health? We're seeing the happy times, but where's the support for him during the tough days? πŸ’” A montage of photos doesn't exactly scream 'we're fighting this together' 😐 Can we have more than just feel-good vibes from Emma and her team? 🀝
 
OMG did u see Emma Heming Willis' post for Mabel's bday πŸŽ‰πŸ‘§?! She shared such a cute montage of fam pics & vids set to The Cure's "Pictures Of You" ❀️! Anyway, have u seen the stats on dementia research funding in 2024? πŸ€” According to the Alzheimer's Association, global research investments were $3.8 billion... πŸ“ˆ but we're still far from finding a cure for frontotemporal dementia like Bruce is dealing with πŸ’”. Emma's been so open about her husband's condition & raising awareness, and it's super inspiring! πŸ‘ Did u know that 1 in 10 people over 65 will develop dementia? πŸ“Š The stats are eye-opening, but we can make a difference by supporting research & organizations like the Alzheimer's Association πŸ’–
 
awww πŸ±πŸŽ‰ i feel so bad for bruce willis' family, especially mabel on her bday... dementia is such a scary thing, how are they coping? emma's tribute is really beautiful tho, it shows the strong bond between them πŸ’• and it's awesome that she's raising awareness about ftd 🌟 maybe one day we'll find a cure! and can u believe mabel's only 11 already?! time flies πŸ•°οΈ
 
can you believe how fast our kids grow up?? like, one minute they're tiny babies and the next they're already pre-teens!! i'm getting teary just thinking about it... Emma Heming Willis is literally the ultimate mom - she's got this amazing bond with Mabel and Evelyn that's just so pure. and poor Bruce, battling dementia can't even be with his own daughter on her birthday πŸ€—πŸŽ‚ it breaks my heart to see him struggling like that... but you know what keeps me going? The love he has for Emma and the kids, it's still so strong! πŸ’•
 
πŸ€— I think its so inspiring how Emma Heming Willis chose to focus on the positive in her life even when her husband is dealing with something super tough. Its a great reminder that we can't control what happens to us, but we can choose how we react to it. She's showing everyone what love and support really look like πŸ’•. I mean, sharing all these sweet photos and videos on social media might seem like just a way to get likes, but its actually about spreading hope and raising awareness for this disease. We should all take a page out of her book and try to spread some kindness and love wherever we go 🌈
 
I don’t usually comment but I just wanted to say how touching it is to see Emma Heming Willis sharing this beautiful tribute to her daughter Mabel on her birthday πŸŽ‰. It’s so sweet that she’s creating special memories for her little girl, even when things are tough for Bruce with dementia. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for them as a family right now πŸ’”. But what I love most about Emma is that she's not just focusing on her husband’s illness, but also celebrating the beauty of their children and creating a sense of hope and joy in this situation 🌈. It really makes you appreciate the importance of family and love ❀️.
 
I think its kinda unrealistic to expect Bruce Willis' family to be okay with him slowly losing himself to dementia. I mean, thats what it is - a slow loss of identity, language & memories. Its not just about the illness itself but also how it affects the people he loves. Emma Heming's tribute is lovely but lets be real, its hard to see her hubby struggling like that. We're all sending love to the Willis family, but I think its time we start talking about the bigger picture here - can we find a cure or at least some treatment for FTD?
 
man... these celebs gotta make us feel all the feels 🀯 anyway, i'm really happy for mabel on her bday, she's such a lucky kid having emma & her fam by her side ❀️ but u know, bruce struggling w/ dementia is like, so sad πŸ˜” and ppl still need 2 raise awareness & research more about it 🀝 it's not just about him or his fam, it's about all the others out there affected by this πŸ’•
