I was reading my
favourite Blog posts via Feedblitz (don't ask me why but I don't feel
so guilty reading email, as opposed to Blog-hopping) - they're my first
treat of the day, accompanied by a strong, hot, sweet cup of tea. Then,
Gray phoned down (yes, I was actually UP and DOWNstairs!) with some
awful news that I was also about to discover on Nicola Marsh's post,
see HERE:
In
short it concerns Patrick Swayze - yes, a former hero of mine who I
posted about (on t'other Blog) in 2006. The same hero who let many of his fans down by
his no-show in Guys & Dolls time after time. Back then, I was angry no, furious, not just because of the money I’d spent, but the price I also paid with my health.
I’ve
long since forgiven him (Gray recently bought Ghost because I’ve raved
about that film forever and he’s never seen it). I don’t mind telling
you I feel bad, no, AWFUL, not least because I outed my disappointment with Patrick on my Blog.
Sad
to say Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with
Pancreatic Cancer a month or so ago. BUT, with the experiences of my
own health struggles, it leaves me wondering just how long he’s been
feeling unwell.
I have learned a lesson, one I should have known better about, we should ALL be careful, VERY careful when judging somebody. Nobody EVER knows what he or she might be going through.
Sending heartfelt prayers to Patrick and his family at this difficult time.
