Everyone reacted similarly when Bruce Willis’ first photo as a grandfather surfaced.
To say that the last six months have been difficult for Bruce Willis’ family would be an understatement of monumental proportions.
The renowned actor’s health problems, for which he withdrew from acting in March 2022 after receiving a diagnosis of aphasia, were barely a secret. Tragically, it was revealed early this year that his condition had deteriorated into frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative brain disorder for which there is no known treatment.
Since then, Willis has understandably shied away from the spotlight, though his closest family members have occasionally posted glimpses into his life on social media.
They have to witness the Sixth Sense actor’s conflict directly to them. Emma Heming Willis, Bruce’s wife, has assumed the job of carer, and Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, his children, have all publicly expressed their suffering.
Nevertheless, even in the deepest pits of despair, there are always glimmering glimmers of hope.
Bruce and Louetta Isley, born just under two months ago in April, are pictured holding each other in a beautiful photo Rumer Willis shared on Sunday. In a series of images posted in honor of Father’s Day, Bruce is pictured holding a little Louetta while joyfully hugging Rumer and his granddaughter in another.
Rumer captioned the photo, saying, “Watching my father hold my baby today was something I will appreciate for the rest of my life. “His tenderness and love for her were both so pristine and lovely.
“Papa Lou and I are both extremely fortunate to have you. I appreciate you being the greatest, craziest, and most loving daddio a girl could wish for. The game’s best girl father is…
The first Father’s Day, since Bruce Willis was diagnosed with dementia was on Sunday, when Emma Heming Willis and his ex-wife Demi Moore paid tribute to the Die Hard star.
With the recent birth of his first grandchild, Louetta Isley, the day must have assumed additional significance for Bruce.
Rumer told People Magazine before her child was born: “[My parents] are delighted. Bringing in the first grandchild in our family is so much pleasure, especially given the size of our current group. My sisters are so excited.
According to recent sources, Bruce’s prognosis is not good. Emma, 44, provided an update on her husband’s condition last month and called his treatment options “slim”.
“When you live in a world of dementia, you know that options are slim,” she told The Sun.
But other people won’t accept it, which is how change is brought about, and I got to see the beauty in that last night.
Please join us in sending Bruce Willis the best wishes possible for the future. Despite the difficulty of his battle, everyone is inspired by his grit and tenacity.
