View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emma Heming Willis (@emmahemingwillis) Emma shared that the special day is emotional for her given Bruce'sdiagnosis with frontotemporal dementia. "I'm profoundly sad today. I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family," she wrote. "As they say in our FTD community, 'It is what it is.' And while that might sound dismissive, to me, it's not. It grounds me. It helps me return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to." Emma concluded her post with, "Today, let's celebrate the badass dads, those who are here, and those we carry with us 💙 Onward." She continued to share a few snaps of Bruce with their daughters on herInstagram Stories, including ones where he is embracing one of his daughters while she sat on his lap and another of him with his arms around both Mabel and Evelyn as they posed at a museum. "I miss and mourn what was," Emma captioned the latter picture. "Even those Ugg days," she continued in a nod to Bruce's choice of footwear in the snap. "I want it all back." In May,Emma told PEOPLEthat when Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2022, she was given almost no direction about what to do next. Theo Wargo/Getty "We received a diagnosis and sent away with no hope, no guidance, no nothing, and I really had to figure out how to put resources into place," Emma, said. "And it was a lot of searching the Internet, trying to figure things out." The mother-of-two then set off to learn everything she could about her husband's condition, and ultimately put everyone else's needs ahead of her own. "I think that was my downfall. I thought that that's what I was supposed to do," she said. "What I've learned in all of this is that the most important person is the caregiver. We have to care for the caregiver, because when we care for ourselves, we can then show up for the person that we love." That same month, Rumer shared that she is filled with "delight" when shesees her daughter interacting with her grandparents. While speaking with PEOPLE, she opened up about the relationship her daughter Louetta, 2, has with her parents. "My mom, she's Yaya to Lou. She's the one who brought in the contraband ofMoanaand Disney because I was like, 'We don't watch TV in this house. We don't ever. Not until she's 5.' And then I went over andMoanawas on. I was like, 'Come on!' " Rumer said. "But they love each other. I mean, you should see her face light up when they're on FaceTime when we're away."
