Patrick Swayze Tributes, Dancing with the Stars and More
Published by admin under Deaths, Movies, Music on September 24, 2009From the time that fellow baby boomer Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with Pacreatic Cancer to the time of his death, I found myself searching the internet to find the latest info on his health. I watched the Barbara Walters interview some months ago, and got a few tears in my eyes watching him, and his devoted wife, share. I think the thing that impresses me more than the dancing, which was spectacular, or the movies, most of which I’ve seen, or the attractive physique, is the commitment he had to his wife. What an enduring love that started when both of them were young, she only 15, and he 19. In a sense they grew up together, my heart goes out so to his wife.
Many tributes have been offered, a recent Entertainment magazine that arrived in our mailbox has him on the cover, and article that may be worth reading for a change. ”Dancing with the Stars” did a tribute that I wasn’t aware of that was posted here for a while until it was taken down from youtube for some reason. I liked the video posted below better anyway.
But as I’ve already shared, to me there’s nothing more attractive than a man that is devoted to his wife…and I don’t mean attractive in the sense of being attracted to the man, but being attracted to the way he has lived a very important part of his life.
My hope is that Patrick made peace with God before passing, and my prayers are with his dear wife, and those who love him that have been left behind.
Claudia,
I have to admit–I didn’t watch much of Patrick Swayze dancing but watching the video you posted makes me realize he was very good and light on his feet. My favorite movie he played in was “Too Wong Foo” That’s the only movie I believe I ever saw him in. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You wrote a lovely tribute to a man many admire. He brought to life some memorable characters on the silver screen and his dancing was phenomenal. But, I agree with you, his devotion to his wife was probably his most attractive feature. My heart, too, goes out to her at this sad, sad time.
Patrick Swayze was a gifted actor and dancer. I was a big fan of his. He and Lisa seemed to share a mutual respect and love for each other, and she was with him to the end, which is rare in the film industry.
