“She [Demi] welcomed me into her family like I welcomed her into ours.

It was important for her to be there.”
Emma’s Instagram share comes amid Bruce’s ongoing battle with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which Emma has been candid about as she supports and cares for her husband following the diagnosis.
To mark Father’s Day on Sunday, June 15th, Emma shared a poignant post via Instagram that addressed the Die Hard actor’s health issues.
“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them,” Emma wrote alongside a photo of Evelyn cuddling up to Bruce. “What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.”

Emma also wrote of the profound meaning that annual days like Father’s Day have taken on in light of Bruce’s diagnosis.
“But to be fair to myself, these symbolic days stir up a lot. 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,” Emma continued. “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.”
