In the woods … Mabel, 10, snaps her dad as he faces loneliness of the long-distance aphasia sufferer
Bruce almighty: Daughter’s instagram photos speak a thousand words to victims of the ‘silent’ disease
This snap – and many others – taken by Bruce Willis’s 10-year-old daughter a few days ago express the loneliness of the long-distance aphasia victim…
Mabel Ray Willis visited a ‘special’ place with her mum and dad and took cam-pix of them being a real family, away from the glitz, glamour and punched-up publicity of Beverley Hills.
The photos were purposely shared with the world on instagram and show the love which has kept Bruce Willis close to his family over his 40 year career which captured the imagination of millions.
Mabel is one of his two daughters with wife Ema Heming.
Born in Malta to a British father and an Indo-Guyanese mother, Ema was raised in north London, United Kingdom, and California, United States.
On 21 March 2009, she married Bruce in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Bruce also has three daughters – Scout, Rumer and Tallulah – with his ex-wife, Demi Moore.
In this snap the star of Die Hard, A Day to Die, Red, Sin City and Sixth Sense looks confident but pensive as he picks his way through the sun-dappled woods and fields.
But in this one (below) the strength of his relationship with Ema is captured … they are so obviously close and facing the future together.
Aphasia is an acquired neurogenic language disorder which can affect speech, comprehension, writing, reading, and general communication. Aphasia is the most common type of speech language disorder in stroke patients.

Mabel captioned this photo ‘Mom & dad in their favorite habitat’.
