When I read on Friday that he was expected to make a full recovery I didn't think it was anything really major besides just pneumonia. Then I woke up Saturday morning to read the headlines Bernie Mac Dies at age 50. I was like what went wrong in less that 12 hours???? But you just never know your day nor hour. Love each other people because we never know when our time will come.

I remember coming down the stairs that Saturday morning and my mother told me Bernie Mac died. That ruined my entire day as he was one of my idols. I believe even though many may not that Obama may have done this after the joke that he told at the Fundraiser and it's evident that from the time he told the joke until he died things really ramped up. He was fine until then. Please read this and think about it. Thinking isn't illegal yet. Bernie you were the Bret Hart of comedy. The best ever! RIP!
