This Isn't Happening or Deathblog 2009
I can't think of a fitting way to write this down in tribute, but I just need to record this in my Livejournal.
Early Thursday morning, June 18, around midnight my dad, Michael Bernz, passed away in his sleep. His CPAP machine came off of his face, and we are guessing that in that time he stopped breathing and Jesus took him home.
I'm just numb. The crying comes in waves. At times I can laugh and crack up at the simplest thing, but then without warning comes a black wave of sadness that puts me all alone underneath the riptide of loss.
Also, our dalmatian Peanut isn't doing well. He keeps messing in his sleep, and his back legs are very weak. Mom says once everything is settled with my dad, we'll need to think of putting Peanut to rest as well, so he can die with dignity. Then we are going to take a trip or something, just to get away. I hope Carolyne could housesit for us, I'm sure she wouldn't mind.
I just also want to thank my friends for being incredibly supportive, esp Carolyne (Chester on this LJ), who has been staying over and sleeping in the bassment since before this tragedy happened.
Just for the record, and I'm not sure how long these links will be valid, but here's some info on my dad, the local Radio Legend.
