Film heartthrob Patrick Swayze dies of cancer at 57 - CNN.com
This man so humble in his life, modest in his career and a never forgotten idol to me, lived the life he wanted to life down to his last breath. Watching him evolve this article walks up through some highlights of his career, and also some low points as well. God took away a beautiful actor when he took away this man. He had accomplished alot for a few years and then went into a dry spell and then physically hurt himself as well as the most recent event of his death. From his growing up and dancing to marrying his high school sweetheart and moving out west when his dancing career ended and his movie career took off. Hearing the news and seeing his life on paper, and seeing in my own eyes as I followed him growing up are almost like they are two different people's lives or entities. This nation really did loose one of Anerica's sexiest men even when he was sick, he had the courage of a lion to still pursue his life and think positive even when he knew of the inevitable would one day come.
I cried, he was once one of my favorite actors, next to Mel Gibson and Sean Connery as I grew up, who wouldn't miss seeing that pretty boy face? He was an amazing dancer so much, as to when he danced he poured his heart and soul into the moves, enough to bring tears to your eyes with such great confidence. And then there was the beginning of his acting career, wow that was a long time ago! I remember when red dawn came out, one of the best movies he made followed by another of my favorites, Dirty Dancing, we all wanted a Johhny bad boy back then. The movies that followed were so different and very diverse that it broaden to me his horizons and made him reach harder and try more things and another favorite thing about him.
But, when he gave the speech on national television that he had Pancreatic Cancer, I almost went to my knees, not even the pretty boys can stay healthy forever. I hoped and prayed and wished him on when he chose the lifestyle he lived it took so much heart and soul and courage that a women in my situation would more than likely not have done what he had done, nor live as long as he had! He was all around an amazing man with the highs and lows in life. But, we all have them just in different ways!
Noone will ever be able to replace this beautiful man in life or in death!

I was extremely sad when I learned that Patrick Swayze died. He was an awesome actor and made a mark in the film industry. It is sad that he suffered from his illness and his health declined so quickly. I can say that atleast he is at peace and will always be remembered for his work.
