She went on to remember how great of a father the actor has been to her.
“And I love this Jersey boy, who combed my hair in baths, and always made sure I layed a towel down before eating on his bed, and is known far and wide as the Corn Cake King to our safe circle of intimates,” she said, before eventually signing off with a loving message.
Bruce is currently battling dementia (@buuski/Instagram)Last month, Moonlighting creator and close friend of Bruce, Glenn Gordon Caron, described him as an “extraordinary person” although said he was now losing his ability to speak. “Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now,” he told The New York Post.
Glenn remembered how his friend “adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest,” before reflecting sadly on how much his friend’s disease has seen him decline.
“When you’re with him you know that he’s Bruce and you’re grateful that he’s there,” he noted, “but the joie de vivre is gone.”
Bruce also shares another two daughters with his current wife, Emma Heming Willis, who shared an update on how the disease affected family life in an interview with Today, explaining that while Willis’s condition is “hard on the family,” there are still “so many beautiful things happening in our lives."
She added it was important to her to remain optimistic.
"It’s just really important for me to look up from the grief and the sadness so that I can see what is happening around us. Bruce would really want us to be in the joy of what is. He would really want that for me and our family.”
