Emma Heming Willis Celebrates Mabel's 11th Birthday with Heartfelt Family Photos

In a sweet tribute to her eldest daughter, Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis shared a nostalgic montage of family photos and videos taken over the years on Sunday, marking Mabel's 11th birthday. The slideshow was set to the iconic song "Pictures Of You" by The Cure.

The proud mom took to Instagram to wish her daughter a happy birthday, gushing about Mabel's infectious energy and warm smile that can light up any room. Heming Willis praised her little girl for spreading love and kindness to those around her, saying she is an inspiration to their family and friends.

A heartwarming photo of the "Die Hard" star holding baby Mabel while planting a kiss on her forehead stood out in the montage, capturing a tender moment between father and daughter. Another recent picture showed Willis enjoying quality time with his preteen daughter in nature.

This birthday post comes as Heming Willis' husband Bruce is currently battling frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia that affects personality, behavior, and language. In February, the couple announced that Bruce's FTD had progressed to this stage, highlighting the need for greater awareness and research into the disease.

As Mabel celebrates her 11th birthday, she has already become a shining example of kindness and love for her family, including her parents and younger sister Evelyn. With her dad's health struggles, it's clear that this milestone birthday is bittersweet but also an opportunity to cherish precious moments with loved ones.

Bruce Willis' condition has prompted his family to seek increased attention and support for FTD research. The Alzheimer's Association defines FTD as a group of disorders caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain's frontal lobes or temporal lobes, areas that are crucial for personality, behavior, and language.
 
awww thats so sweet πŸ€— mabel is growing up to be an amazing person with such a big heart ❀️ it's not easy having a parent deal with dementia tho πŸ˜” hopefully more ppl will learn about FTD & support research πŸ’• my mom had alzheimers & i know how hard it can be on the family πŸ€• still, its great that bruce & emma are making a strong family bond & encouraging kindness & love in mabel 🌈
 
πŸ€” this is all so suspicious... Emma Heming Willis sharing these adorable family pics when Bruce is struggling with dementia? It almost sounds like a PR stunt to distract from his health issues πŸ“Ί her post comes at the perfect time too, just after he announced his condition in Feb πŸ•°οΈ I mean, what's really going on here? Is she trying to humanize him and make people feel bad for not supporting FTD research yet? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

πŸ€— I feel so bad for Bruce and his family having to deal with this tough time with Mabel's birthday coming around. It's amazing how Mabel is spreading love and kindness wherever she goes, making her parents super proud πŸ™Œ. Emma shared some beautiful photos of their quality time together in nature, it's lovely to see them bonding like that ❀️. I'm not surprised Bruce is struggling with his health, FTD is a tough disease to deal with... πŸ€• But at the same time, it's great that they're using this opportunity to raise awareness and support for more research πŸ’‘. Mabel seems like an inspiration already, and I have no doubt she'll keep shining bright in the years to come ✨.

I'm so happy for Emma Heming Willis celebrating Mabel's 11th birthday πŸŽ‰, but it's also really sad to see Bruce Willis' health struggles affecting their family life πŸ˜”. I mean, FTD is such a tough disease to deal with, and it's awesome that Emma is using social media to raise awareness about it πŸ’•. The photo of Bruce holding baby Mabel is just too cute, but you can tell he's struggling to connect with his daughter right now πŸ€—. It's great that Mabel is being such a wonderful role model for her family and friends, but I hope Bruce starts getting the support he needs soon πŸ™. FTD research has come so far in recent years, maybe we'll see some new breakthroughs soon πŸ’‘?

OMG yaaas I love these family pics!!! πŸ€— Emma is so proud of her girl Mabel and it's clear she's been doing an amazing job raising her as a single mom πŸ’• Bruce might be dealing with health issues but it's beautiful to see him still being present in his daughter's life ❀️ Those pic of them just chillin' in nature are everything 😍. Can't wait to see more updates from this lovely fam πŸ‘Ά
 
OMG Mabel is growing up so fast! 🀯 I love how her mom shared these adorable family photos to celebrate her birthday - it's just so heartwarming ❀️. As a parent myself, I know how hard it can be to balance the excitement of watching your child grow with the challenges that come with it... especially when you're dealing with health issues at home like Bruce Willis' FTD πŸ€•. Anyways, Mabel sounds like an amazing kid - spreading love and kindness wherever she goes! πŸ’– Can't wait to see what the future holds for this lovely family πŸ‘«

πŸ€— I'm so glad Emma Heming Willis is keeping us updated on Mabel's life! 11 already? time flies! πŸ•°οΈ Mabel's smile in those family photos is EVERYTHING ❀️ it's no surprise she's spreading love and kindness wherever she goes. Poor Bruce, though... πŸ’” hope he finds some comfort in knowing how much his family cares for him and the impact he's having on their lives (and Evelyn's too, btw!). FTD awareness is super important, and I'm keeping fingers crossed that Emma & Bruce are part of the push to find more research & solutions! πŸ™
 
omg can u blieve mabel is already 11?! seems like just yesterday she was a tiny baby holding her dads hand πŸ€£πŸ‘Ά meanwhile bruce is dealing with this dementia thing... poor guy πŸ˜” his health is def giving me LIFELESS vibes πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ anyway back to mabel - that girl's got some serious good energy πŸ’– gotta give the parents props for sharing those adorable pics and vids on instagram, makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside ❀️
 
I'm so done with birthday posts on Instagram πŸ™„... don't get me wrong, Emma Heming Willis is totally adorable and Mabel looks like a sweetie 😊. But can we talk about the layout of her Instagram post? It's all over the place! The video is right there next to the photo, it's jarring 😩. And why are they using that old song from 90s? It's just not the vibe I'm getting from this post 🎡.

And seriously, can we talk about Bruce Willis' birthday boy being 11 years old and his dad has dementia already? That's just heartbreaking πŸ’”. I feel like we need more awareness and support for FTD research. Okay okay, I know I'll get some hate comments πŸ˜‚... but come on guys, let's keep it civil and focused 🀝.
