As Bruce Willis’ mental abilities deteriorate, his family is treasuring every minute with him and praying for a Christmas miracle.
In the months after he retired from his decades-long Hollywood profession, the iconic actor and his ex-wife, Demi Moore, have become even closer while his new wife, Emma Heming, attempts to help him speak.
Willis, 67, was diagnosed with aphasia, an illness that affects the sufferer’s capacity to speak and comprehend, in March.
His health has now improved, according to a source close to the family, and his family is now gathering to spend every moment they can together.
They realize he won’t be around forever, stated the anonymous insider. So they treasure every single minute.
Moore, according to the source, has been in continuous touch with Bruce and Emma.
Willis’ daughter with Moore, Tallulah, 28, just posted a picture of herself embracing her mom as her dad stood close gazing at Demi’s dog, Pilaf, as the blended family spends the holidays in Idaho together, like they do every year.
He also stated that Demi and Emma have become closer as they work together to assist the struggling performer.
Bruce can’t speak much, and it doesn’t appear that he understands much of what people say. So Emma has truly been his voice and communicator.
There are days when they catch glimpses of the old Bruce, he observed, but they are fleeting and seldom.
It appears that he is drifting more away from them, which tears their hearts. Christmas without Bruce is unthinkable for the girls.
The older females miss the old Bruce — the one who used to mock them about their partners and offer them unwanted advice, the unidentified insider said.
With Christmas fast approaching, he noted, all they can do is tell him they love him and hope for a holiday miracle.
Tallulah and Scout post images of the entire family together, implying that the joyful family is soaking up all of the time they spent with the actor.
Tallulah expressed her affection for her parents in her post this week, while Scout provided photos of Bruce, carefully cradling Pilaf, as he sat at the dinner table with Tallulah and his wife, Emma.
In the shot, she commented, ‘Family supper night.’
Another shot showed Bruce affectionately holding hands with Emma as they sat at the table close to one another.
Bruce married Emma in 2009, and the couple has two kids, Mabel and Evelyn.
From 1987 through 2000, the Die Hard actor was married to Moore. Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout are their three daughters.
Earlier this year, Bruce’s family announced that he will be retiring from acting owing to his aphasia diagnosis.
