A Young Old Man With Only a Dream...
I am sobbing in my bedroom. I just read Patrick Swayze died, and am listening to "She's Like the Wind" while sobbing. And part of me feels so foolish, because I never even met the man, but...
Dirty Dancing has been my favorite movie for the longest time. The movie I go to when I'm feeling sad, when I'm feeling happy, when I need comfort, when I need to relax, when I need to watch something where every line is beautiful and every dance step seems magical, and love is hard but its worth it, and making the right choices can be hard but its worth it, and you can reach all your dreams if you believe in yourself and stand by the people who love you. I'm one of those people who has always, always believed Johnny and Baby stayed together forever, are together even now dancing in a Senior Center together somewhere.
So right now I am mourning the loss of an amazing actor, someone who deeply touched my life without ever having met me. And even if its foolish, its what I feel, deeply. And I'll be watching Dirty Dancing tonight, the only way I know to pay tribute, and the only way I know to bring me comfort right now.
RIP Patrick Swayze. Keep dancing in heaven.
