"It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. But I knew he would want it this way for our daughters," Willis explained to ABC. He lives in a house nearby and is cared for around the clock by nursing staff. Regular visits from his wife and their two daughters (11 and 13) as well as from friends are said to be on the agenda. Despite his rapidly deteriorating condition, she is convinced that he can still recognize his loved ones: "I know he does. When we are with him, he blossoms. He holds our hands, we kiss and hug him. And he responds to that. That's all I need."
