Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis has taken to Instagram to celebrate their 11-year-old daughter Mabel's birthday in a heartwarming display of family photos and videos.
The proud mom shared a montage of pictures from over the years, set to the song "Pictures Of You" by The Cure. Her caption read, "Happy 11th Birthday Mabel Ray! Your energy is infectious... can light a whole room with your smile and warmth. How you love and care for your family and friends is beautiful to witness. Keep shining my love and always remember #liveitup."
The photos show the happy moments of Mabel growing up, from being a baby in her father Bruce Willis' arms to spending quality time with him outdoors. The pictures also highlight Emma Heming Willis's close relationship with her children, as well as her husband's role as a loving dad.
This birthday post comes after Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia that affects the brain's frontal and temporal lobes, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The couple has been open about their struggles with FTD, aiming to raise awareness for this disease and potentially lead to more research.
Emma Heming Willis previously marked her husband's 68th birthday by sharing an equally heartfelt tribute on Instagram, calling him "pure love." Mabel and Emma also have a younger sister, Evelyn, who is eight years old.

! It's amazing how fast time flies when you're having fun as a family 
. I can see why Emma would want to share all these sweet memories on her birthday post - it's like she's freezing the moment in time 
. It's really heartwarming to see Bruce Willis being such an awesome dad and partner to Emma, especially during tough times with his health 
. And let's be real, Mabel is just a total cutie pie 
! Her mum's captions are so inspiring - "keep shining" is like the ultimate motto for life 
. Anyway, happy birthday to this lovely girl - may it be an amazing year ahead! 
I'm so happy for the whole Willis family right now! It's beautiful to see how close-knit they are, especially with Bruce being open about his health struggles. His diagnosis with FTD can't be easy on him or Emma, but it's great that they're using their platform to raise awareness and support research. 
I love how Mabel is growing up surrounded by so much love, from her parents to her siblings - it's clear she has a wonderful family life. And Emma's Instagram post? 
It was like looking at a timeline of their amazing journey together! The way they're celebrating each other's birthdays and special moments makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 
. Can't wait to see how Mabel grows up, especially with her parents being such dedicated role models. 
I'm getting all the feels watching this adorable family moment! 
. Emma's caption is everything – so sweet and genuine! 
. I'm sending all the birthday love to this gorgeous girl and her lovely fam 
.
. anyway, can't wait to see more family updates 
. My cousin's kid was already like that in middle school! Anyway, it's nice to see the whole family being so close-knit, especially with Bruce's diagnosis and all. I'm sure Emma's just trying to shield their kids from the harsh realities of life 
. But honestly, frontotemporal dementia is a real thing, people should know more about it 
. And by the way, has anyone seen The Cure concert schedule? I heard they're doing a world tour 
.
) and I'm sure those pics are gonna become family heirlooms. The fact that they're being so open about Bruce's diagnosis is pretty cool too - it's a total mood 
It feels like they're using their platforms to show us how perfect their lives are, when really we should be talking about the state of our national healthcare system and how it affects people like Bruce Willis. I'm not saying Emma Heming Willis isn't a great mom or anything, but come on, let's get real for a sec. We need more discussions about how to support families dealing with dementia, not just sharing cute family pics 
Are people just trying to get those likes and comments or something? 
It feels like Mabel's just being presented as some kind of mini Emma Heming Willis 2.0, which is kinda weird. Can't we just celebrate our birthday without all the extra drama? 
. Speaking of skateboarding, has anyone tried that new park that just opened up downtown? I heard it's got some sick ramps and a pretty chill vibe 
...
. Anyway, happy birthday to Mabel - may your life be as bright and amazing as your smile! 
... "Your energy is infectious" - really? It's just a birthday post, can't she keep it real for once? 
his wife emma is literally the sweetest thing & she's doing an amazing job of taking care of their kiddos while dealing with this super tough diagnosis 
i mean, it's great that they're using their platform to raise awareness about frontotemporal dementia tho 
it's so inspiring to see her spread love and positivity on instagram
