- I still cry after 5 days since his passing. Patrick Swayze was a big part of my young adult life. Memories of my girlfriends and I doing the 'log dance' on the bathroom counters at the movie theatre after seeing Dirty Dancing will always be in my heart. I will always cherish is presence here and his movie legacy that he has left. Love you & miss you Patrick xox
