This photo of Bruce Willis tenderly cradling his first granddaughter

A tender moment, immortal. On Instagram, Rumer Willis, Bruce Willis’ elder brother, shared a series of photos to honor fathers “old and new” on Monday, June 19. the great name of Sixth sense (1999) finds himself standing there looking off into the distance, his little girl snuggled up against him. Luetta Easley Thomas Willis, Rumer’s first child, 34, looks peaceful in her grandfather’s arms. What did not fail to excite the young mother who gave birth on April 18. “Seeing my dad holding my daughter today was something I will cherish for the rest of my life,” she captioned the photo.

A moment all the more poignant because the actor, who is set to retire in 2022, has frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative brain disorder similar to Alzheimer’s and an incurable disease. “His sweetness and love for him were so pure and beautiful,” the actress and singer rejoiced. Before directly addressing the first interested party; “Dad, I’m so lucky to have you […] Thank you for being the dumbest, most loving and coolest dad a daughter could ever ask for,” punctuating her words with a photo of him posing with her with her head on his shoulder as little “Lou” gazes intently at her grandpa.

“First Father’s Day»

Rumer Willis also wanted to celebrate her husband, musician Derek Richard Thomas, who was celebrating his “first Father’s Day.” He multiplied her thanks. “Thanks for building a beautiful garden where Lou can play and eat,” “filling the house with music for her to listen to,” “thanks for all the midnight diaper changes and snuggles,” she wrote to herself, “so grateful” that her daughter “has a daddy who loves her so much.” Words that take on their full meaning in the eyes of the third photo, where the young father appears next to a brilliantly smiling Luetta, flat on her stomach.
