"Bruce and his masterful mic-drop one-liners. 'He just can't get out of his own way,' he'd remark. I never really understood what it meant until it hit me in the face the other day," she said of a proverb frequently said by her husband, Bruce Willis.
Emma said daughter told her to 'touch grass'
"It's me. I can't get out of my own way. I plan, organize, look after everyone and I still rarely make time for me," she continued. "The kicker came from Evelyn a few days ago when she said, 'Mom, you need to get out and touch the grass.' Spoken like her father's child." On March 22, Emma shared a heartfelt video of her and Bruce on their 10th wedding anniversary and fans coludn't help but cry happy tears.
Heming Willis continued, "I knew what she meant. I'm wound so tight that she sees it, they all feel it. How is that serving anyone? Today I made time to do something I used to love doing—a 30 min hike and it made all the difference. They are giving me the permission, almost begging me to make time for myself and I need to shhhh, listen and just go."
Easter at the Willis home
Over the weekend, the 'Die Hard' actor's family gathered to celebrate Easter, as seen on Heming Willis' Instagram Stories. The couple's children, Evelyn and Mabel Ray, 11, were seen getting ready for a huge outdoor Easter egg hunt, as were Demi Moore and her daughters Tallulah, 29, Scout, 31, and Rumer, 34.
"We're in it to win it!" Heming Willis wrote on a video as she showed all the Easter egg hunt participants ready to start the activity. "Go! Go! Go! she exclaimed on the next slide as everyone dashed off to retrieve the hidden eggs."
