Bruce Willis is surrounded by love. The 68-year-old actor's wife, Emma Heming Willis, took to Instagram to share a beautiful story about how the couple's 9-year-old daughter, Evelyn, is offering her support amid her dad's battle with frontotemporal dementia. «So I have to tell you this story, and I'm going to try and do it without crying,» Emma said in a series of videos on Monday. «Because when Evelyn told me this story, I was an absolute puddle.» Emma, who also shares 11-year-old daughter Mabel Willis with thestar, relayed that Evelyn had approached her to ask if she was aware that people with dementia «can become severely dehydrated.» When asked how she knew about that issue, Evelyn said that she had used her free time in school to research «fun facts about dementia.» «Now, that's not funny, but it's kind of funny,» Emma noted. «And she really is her father's child because these two love some random facts.

So I said to her, 'Evelyn, we will always make sure daddy has a bottle of water in hand. Thank you for letting me know. But that is the most loving and compassionate thing that you can do is to be curious and educate yourself on your dad's disease.'»In another video shared, the 44-year-old model reposted a clip from an Instagram Live she did with speech language pathologist Adria Thompson, offering additional information on dementia. «On behalf of the person you're caring for that has dementia, whether they can express it or not — I want to say thank you,» the message read. «Thank you for loving them, thank you for spending time to educate yourself about dementia.

Because that is the most compassionate thing that you can do by having more insight into their world and the life they are experiencing that they can't.
