Emma Heming Willis previously disclosed another update about her family and how her second and last daughter with Bruce Willis moved her to tears with a simple but kind gesture. 9-year-old Evelyn has joined the rest of the Willis household to care for her father, who was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia in 2022.
Ever since, she has taken up the role of Bruce’s primary caretaker while raising their daughters, Mabel and Evelyn. She also has the support of Bruce’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, and her daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah.
Bruce Willis’ 9-year-old daughter makes a compassionate gesture
Upon learning about Bruce’s debilitating condition, Evelyn took it upon herself to do research into Frontotemporal Dementia. She figured out that affected persons were almost always dehydrated and would ensure her father had water to drink at all times.
Emma noticed Evelyn’s water bottle duty and got curious, after which her daughter explained that she used her school’s leisure time to find fun facts about Frontotemporal Dementia. She encouraged the considerate little girl and took to social media to recount the touching discovery.
Fans react to Evelyn Willis’ kindness
After Emma shared the touching moment with her fans, she thanked fellow caregivers and those who had spare time to educate themselves about the rare condition. She also penned a quote by Speech Language Pathologist and Certified Dementia Practitioner Adria Thompson, which read “The most compassionate thing you can do by having more insight into their world and the life they are experiencing that they can’t always express.”
