Rumer Willis, 33, is remembering special moments with her father Bruce Willis, 67, amid his new health struggles. The Empire actress looked back at the past fondly, sharing a vintage photo of her and dad on Instagram Thursday, Apr. 22.

Rumer and Bruce looked so cute in the very 90s snapshot, which she captioned just, “P A P A.” In the photo, the Die Hard star wore a red baseball hat and white sweatshirt as he wrapped his arms around his eldest daughter, who looked to be about four or five.

As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”

Aphasia is a language disorder, which affects a person’s ability to communicate. The disease is apparently caused by brain damage, which causes victims to lose the ability to express and understand speech. Bruce’s family did not specify his symptoms or when he was diagnosed in their statement. He has since been seen
