RIP Bernie Mac

RIP Bernie Mac, you will truly be missed! As soon as I heard the news I was devastated. I like to think that I know about life...and death, but this one really threw me for a loop. What I mean to say is, Bernie was supposed to fully recover in a few days. That's what his publicist had said on Wednesday. I had been following his condition via text messages and RSS feeds from E! Online Magazine. When I first found out that he was ill I thought to myself: "That's Bernie Mac, he is too strong to stay down, he will get back up, I just know he will."

So just imagine the shock and disappointment that I felt and realized when a text message came through saying, "Original King of Comedy Bernie Mac dies at age 50." It was like everything that I knew to be true, everything that I could hold on to, had completely disappeared into thin air.

I want his family to know that these times will be hard, but they WILL make it through. I want to send my love, respect and prayers to them. I would like his wife and kids to know that through his sitcom we all got to know a little bit about all of them so they almost seem like a family member or dear friend and that's the reason why I say, "God loves us all, He keeps us and leads us through anything and everything that we may face in our short time here on Earth. Bernie is with Him now. He is safe from any harm or pain. The Lord will take very good care of him; He will take very good care of us all."
