    You know, you turn on the TV sometimes, and there he is, Bernie Mac. Big grin, that gravelly voice, talking straight to the camera, giving you the business. You almost forget. He's right there, full of life, full of… attitude.

    And then you remember. He's gone.

    Funny thing is, he was just hitting his stride, wasn’t he? He did it all. Janitor, bus driver, Wonder Bread man – you name it. Paid his dues, that's for sure. You gotta admire a guy who works that hard just to get to tell jokes on a stage. And he wasn't scared to tell the jokes. Def Comedy Jam, that was something else. Who else could walk out on that stage and tell a crowd he ain't scared of 'em?

    Then the "Bernie Mac Show." Smart show. It wasn't just another sitcom. It was real. It was funny, but it was real. Guy raising his sister’s kids, talking to the camera like we were all in on the joke. And it won awards. An Emmy, a Peabody. That's not just for making people laugh.
    And then, just like that, he's talking about retiring. Enjoying life. Said he wanted to spend time with his family, missed a lot on the road. You think, "Good for him. He deserves it."

    Sarcoidosis, they said. That's a nasty word, sarcoidosis. Another reminder that life ain't fair. You think a guy who worked that hard, made people laugh that much, would get a little more time.

    And he was only 50! Fifty! You know how old 50 is? It's just getting started!
    That's the thing about life, isn't it? You can have all the plans in the world, be right at the peak of your game, and then… *poof*. It's gone.

    Makes you think. Makes you wonder. Makes you want to appreciate every single day. Especially the ones you get to spend laughing. And Bernie Mac, well, he gave a lot of people a lot of laughs. You can't take that away. Even if he's gone.
