Opinion: My father's experience with frontotemporal dementia makes me grieve for Bruce Willis' family

Like many others, I recently learned of actor Bruce Willis' frontotemporal dementia diagnosis after his family issued a statement that circulated in the media. Unlike many others, I was clearing leftovers from my father's memorial service when I read the news. I had buried my father, Behrooz, earlier in the week. The previous Saturday night in my childhood home, he had died with his hand in mine after losing a long battle with the very same disease. He was 64.
