See you later, Swayze

I was surprised at how sad I felt to hear about Patrick Swayze's death. He's just an actor. And not one I particularly followed. So I was curious why I had such a poignant reaction. I think it's because he played roles that filled young women's dreams of romance. I mean, who didn't want to be Baby in Dirty Dancing? Or have someone so dedicated as in Ghost? He portrayed the modern knight in shining armor.

And, man, it was nice to watch him move.

Amen, sister. I was sad too, and I'm pretty sure those are the only two of his movies I've seen.

Good insight! Wish I had thought of those to add to my paper! :)
