The Willis family isn’t afraid to love hard.

And Tallulah Willis made that very clear while sharing sweet photos with dad Bruce Willis, who is battling frontotemporal dementia (FTD), during a visit to her grandmother’s. 

Among the heart-warming moments the 31-year-old, whose mom is Demi Moore, shared was one of her sitting on the floor next to the Die Hard star holding his hand and another of them embracing. Joining them for the sweet visit was her fiancé Justin Acee, who also posed for a pic with Bruce.

And while they’ve rallied around him every step of the way, they’ve also been candid about the difficulty of seeing a loved one go through the struggle.

“I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I’m doing and what’s going on in my life,” Rumer wrote on Instagram on Father’s Day June 15. “To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes. I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all.”

Still, the House Bunny star, mom to 2-year-old Louetta with ex Derek Richard Thomas, emphasized how lucky she is to still have him in her life.

“I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad today so I’ll try to just be grateful reminding myself how lucky I am that you’re my dad and that you’re still with me and I can still hold you and hug you and kiss your cheek and rub your head I can tell you stories,” Rumercontinued. “I can watch the way your eyes light up when you see Louetta I will be grateful for every moment I have with you.”
