Patrick Swayze died this week, and I'm still reeling. I have turned over and over in my mind, the entire movie of "Dirty Dancing". I have come to the conclusion that every girl or woman has wished for a dance partner like Swayze. This small movie, with a big heart, made mine beat faster.
Young girl falling for,hunky dance instructor in the Catskills or Young girl falling for, sun burned lifeguard at the beach, same story. May be one of the reasons the movie touched us. It was us, all of us, who were lucky enough to have a fling or two in our lifetime, but especially when we were young and so innocent, like Baby.
Having someone tell your daddy "Nobody puts Baby in the corner!" and then lifts you over their head and tells you, to music!!! that this is the time of his life, GOOD LORD,give me some more of that!!
We just needed one more dance.

Bonnie! This is wonderful. I was that young girl when that movie first came out and I love reliving that feeling every time I watch DD. (And I was a dancer at the time, longing for a Johnnie Castle partner instead of the prissy boys at my dance studio). Keep up the wonderful writing!
