Bill Gates Shares The Most Heartwarming Post About His Dad On Father’s Day, And His Story Will Make You Cry
Parents have a major
influence on us. Many children idolize their parents and aspire to be just like
them. Even one of the worlds richest and smartest man, Bill Gates, strive to be
just like his father. On Fathers Day, the entrepreneur took to social media to
celebrate his beloved father revealing how much he aspired to be just like him
– the ‘real’ Bill Gates.
Last year, Gates
revealed the heartbreaking news. His father, who was an attorney and now spends
his retirement helping with his son’s charity foundation, suffers from
Alzheimer’s disease. This neurodegenerative disease affects a person's memory
and identity and as Bill Gates put it “It feels a lot like you’re experiencing
a gradual death of the person that you knew.”
There are no known
Alzheimer’s cause and no effective treatment. After being personally touched by
this disease the entrepreneur donated 100 million dollars for research in hopes
that science will find the cure. “It’s a terrible disease that devastates both
those who have it and their loved ones,” he said. Bill Gates remains optimistic
about the outcomes of the research “People should be able to enjoy their later
years—and we need a breakthrough in Alzheimer’s to fulfill that. I’m excited to
join the fight and can’t wait to see what happens next.”
