<\/p>\nIt’s hard to believe that more than ten years have passed since the death of Patrick Swayze. This legendary actor and singer, <\/p>\n
remembered by many for his roles in \u2018Dirty Dancing\u2019and \u2018Ghost\u2019, will forever remain in our hearts. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, Patrick passed away on September 14, 2009 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. <\/p>\n
All this time, next to him was his faithful wife, Lisa Niemi, with whom they were married for more than 34 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lisa Niemi released her memoir book Worth Fighting For in 2011. The Daily Mail published an excerpt from this memoir, <\/p>\n
in which Lisa shared the last words of Patrick Swayze before he fell into a coma. \u2018What did I say goodbye to Patrick? <\/p>\n
I said that I love him and he answered me the same. After I took him home, it all ended very quickly,\u2019 writes Lisa.<\/p>\n
On Monday morning, she woke up due to the fact that Patrick suddenly began to breathe heavily. She says that it all happened so simply, <\/p>\n
almost childishly. Lisa immediately realized that very soon they would part. That very day Patrick died.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lisa said that Patrick decided on a role in the TV series \u2018The Beast\u2019 already when he was given a disappointing diagnosis. <\/p>\n
She says that this role helped him gather strength. Of course, even then he had to spend a lot of time in bed, but filming in Chicago gave him a huge burst of energy.<\/p>\n
\u2018He had such a surge of new strength that it simply amazed me he suddenly turned into old Patrick, who wanted to do everything himself and was interested in everything. <\/p>\n
Even from time to time he began to allow himself \u2018star\u2019 behavior, knowing full well that it was with it <\/p>\n
drives you crazy either at the last minute he will demand the fulfillment of some of his whims, then he suddenly <\/p>\n
decides to try on the role of the biggest expert on all issues of the world, \u2018Lisa writes in her memoirs.<\/p>\n

She says that Patrick never allowed himself any indulgence at work just because he was given his diagnosis. <\/p>\n
So when his character was supposed to jump over a wall on the show, Patrick, already sick with cancer, insisted on doing it himself rather than hiring a stuntman. <\/p>\n
Lisa claims that this role helped Patrick become stronger and happier, despite his serious illness.<\/p>\n
