Why am I so sad about this?

Question

Ever since Bernie Mac died, I haven't been as happy as I was before. I didn't know him, but I cried. Why?

Answer 1

I actually felt pretty emotional and sad after I found he died too.

I rarely ever saw him in movies or TV either. It's weird.

Answer 2

You cried because your human.

Although you didn't know him personally you have become aqcuainted with him every time you let him in your living room and laughed!

I read today (and you should take comfort in this) that Don Cheadle ( Hotel Rowanda and fellow co star of Oceans 11) said Heaven just got a little funnier.

He was a funny, funny, talented and I think handsome man and apparently a good family man being married to the same woman for 30 something years, staying out of the hollywood lime light and taking care of sisters kids when she couldnt (the basis for the Bernie Mac show was his real life). Trust me its normal for us regular folks to mourn the death of people who entertain us , especially when they appear or behave so much like somebody we know and love like that favorite uncle, funny grandpa or neighbor.
