Not about my travel, a walk on my memory lane

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I said before leaving that I would have take a leave and post only about my travel. But today was not a normal day; strange to say, I heard about it when I called home in Italy, since I don't see any tv or read newspaper here in USA. My mom asked to me if I knew... Patrick passed away. For who don't know me well, you can't understand, but Patrick Swayze was my first crush, really. I have all his movies, even the less important ones, even the ones, I admit myself, aren't so good. I have even some dancing video and recorded all his television appearance in Italy. I have tons of newspapers and pictures. When I was a teen my room was plastered of posters, and still now I have a single glass poster. But apart from all of this, what linked me still so much with him, was that he had the same cancer that took my father from me 15 years ago. Actually, I still remember that, to force me away from my father that last day, a friend of mine tempted me with a Patrick's movie, she said, Elisa, come with me, at least for a little while, she knew that really few things could work. When I heard of Patrick, and the type of cancer he had, I knew how terrible it was and how little chances he had, but I hoped that in 15 years things had changed. I hoped for him and his wife that money and importance could make a difference. Apparently they can't. Rest in peace Patrick, you were with me in a time when I really needed something else to think of, and you will continue to stay with me.

It's so damn wrong. He was my first love, because of him I started dancing, and I have no idea what I would have done without Dirty Dancing to get me through the hell I call school. It feels like a part of me died too, since he was so big part of my childhood, and my whole life.

It's the same for me, I said to my friend, a part of my youth is gone with him. Elisa

I'm sorry to hear about your fake boyfriend, Elisa. I was surprised to see that in the headlines this morning, he wasn't very old, and I had no idea about his cancer. Sounds painful...

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's one of the worst form of cancer, since it destroys your body but leave your mind completely alert for all the time. It's painful for who is near your but even more for yourself who see your life gone. Elisa

Ebbene si è stato anche per me una delle prime cottarelle di bimba!
Quando ho visto la notizia dell'Ansa ieri sono rimasta ammutolita.
I soldi non curano niente...ricordi Giovannino Agnelli?

Si è vero, ha avuto lo stesso pensiero anche allora, ma speravo che la scienza fosse migliorata. Elisa

Aww geez, that made me get all teary. RIP Patrick. Hugs to Elisa.

Thank for the hugs and the thought. Elisa

I heard the news and was very upset. My partner's mother died of the same kind of cancer five years ago. Unfortunately, this cancer isn't usually detected until it's too far gone to treat.

Yes, it's a very sneaky type of cancer with few chances to fight back. Elisa

I'm so sorry for such a painful loss. He was a talented and kind man. It seems like the fact that an idol and you father died of the same disease just adds insult to injury. My condolences.

Thank you, it's a so strange and sad coincidence, and I'm reliving some bad memories in this moment. Lucky for me I'm abroad and with my time full to distract me. Elisa
