Emma Heming Willis took a stroll down memory lane to celebrate her eldest daughter Mabel's 11th birthday. The proud mother shared an adorable montage of family photos and videos on social media, set to the tune of "Pictures Of You" by The Cure.
In the caption, Heming Willis poured out her heart, expressing how proud she is of her little girl's infectious energy, which lights up a whole room with Mabel's smile and warmth. She also praised Mabel for her love and care towards family and friends, calling it beautiful to witness.
The montage showcased Mabel growing up, from babyhood to being a preteen, with her father Bruce Willis often by her side. One heartwarming picture showed Willis gently planting a kiss on his forehead as a baby, while another image captured the actor hanging out in nature with his preteen daughter.
Heming Willis has been open about her husband's battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia that affects personality, behavior, and language. In February, they announced that Bruce's speaking disorder had progressed into FTD, sparking awareness and research for the disease.
As Bruce Willis celebrates his 68th birthday, Heming Willis has penned an equally heartfelt tribute to her husband, referring to him as "pure love." She hopes that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on FTD and driving more awareness and research into finding treatments for this devastating disease.

Mabel is growing up so fast! 11 feels like just yesterday she was a little munchkin 
. Emma's post is so sweet, it's like looking at old family photos all over again 
. But what really gets me is how she's using her platform to raise awareness about FTD - that's amazing 
Bruce deserves our love and support during this tough time. We can only hope that more research and treatments will come out of the spotlight 
. Anyway, I think it's awesome that Emma's celebrating Mabel's birthday with a nostalgic post - it's clear they have such a special bond 
.
she's so proud of her little girl & it shows 
gotta keep spreading awareness & supporting research 
I just love seeing families celebrating their little ones' birthdays! Emma Heming Willis's montage of Mabel growing up is literally giving me all the feels 
. And can we talk about how amazing it is to see Bruce Willis still being so present and loving with his daughter at her age? 
But you know what's even more beautiful? How Emma Heming Willis is using this opportunity to shine a light on frontotemporal dementia and raise awareness for research. It's truly inspiring to see her using her platform to help others 
. It's so beautiful how she's keeping it real about the challenges they're facing with Bruce's health, while still celebrating all the happy moments 
And btw, The Cure is such an iconic band - "Pictures Of You" always gives me chills 
. It's great that they're using this opportunity to raise awareness about FTD... let's keep the love and support flowing for Emma, Bruce, and their whole family 
I just can't even right now thinking about Mabel growing up so fast 
. And poor Bruce... my heart just melts when I see those pictures of him holding Mabel as a baby 
or playing in nature together, it's like they're invincible 
.
It's so heartbreaking to think about how fast things are progressing with Bruce... the way he was saying those words is just devastating 
. Emma's right, let's focus on shining a light on FTD instead of all that drama and speculation about Bruce's career 
. Mabel's 11th birthday is just the beginning of this journey, and I'm so scared for what's to come 
My heart goes out to him and the whole fam during this tough time with FTD. It's amazing how Emma is using their story to raise awareness and drive change 
... Frontotemporal dementia is such a cruel disease, my grandma had Alzheimer's back in the day and it was hard to deal with 
... but now he's fighting this tough battle, hope they get more help and research done soon 
Mabel is such a bright light in Emma's life, it's clear she adores her so much. But what really caught my eye was how humble Emma was being about the whole FTD thing - instead of dwelling on Bruce's struggles, she's using her platform to bring awareness and support for research 
! It's Mabel's birthday, not Bruce's health update (again). Can't we just celebrate the kid and forget about the old man for a sec? 
honestly i think its kinda weird how mabel's getting all the attention just cuz her dad is 'sick'... like, what about emma? she's the one who's been keeping it together on social media with that adorable montage. and btw, why does mabel have to be the center of all this family love? cant we just appreciate both parents for being awesome in their own ways? 
But seriously, FTD awareness is super important - it's heartbreaking that Emma and the family have to go through this
