Another Great Has Exited

Bye bye, Patrick Swayze. You were one of my all-time favorite childhood crushes. I'll never forget turning eight and opening that huge Dirty Dancing poster from Aunt Becky and Aunt Barb. They really hooked me up that day. Whether you dancing and twisting across Kellerman's stage with Baby, in drag with Miss Chi-Chi, or kickin' A and takin' names at the Road House, you were always one of the best. You weren't afraid to show your sensitive side, either, and I still can't watch you be a Ghost without squeezing out a couple of tears. Your battle with cancer was long and tough, and I hope you've found peace and relief now.
