Emma Heming Willis reminisces on falling in love with Bruce Willis with sweet video"I give myself 30 minutes to sit in the 'why him, why us,' to feel the anger and grief," she continued. "Then I shake it off and return to what is. And what is… is unconditional love."
"I feel blessed to know it, and it's because of him," she said. "I'd do it all over again and again in a heartbeat 💞"
