The Time of My Life by Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi

"The Time of My Life" by Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi is an inspirational and entertaining book about Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi's journey hard times and good times right up to his final heroic battle against cancer. The remarkable love the two had for each other shines through and it is very sad that he didn't get to see this book hit the shelves and know what kind of impact it will have on many who read it.Many people know that Patrick met Lisa when he was 19 and she was 15 and attending dance lessons at his mother, Patsy Swayze's, dance studio. They married a few years later and were together right to his passing. It was a remarkable marriage, but definitely not without its trials and tribulations. Injuries, alcoholism, insecurities, anger, and wondering who he was all plagued Swayze at times, just as demons attack us all. It was refreshing to read that Swayze's life was not a bed of roses, even though at times is sure seemed like it to the public.Obviously, p
eople who are interest in Swayze are most likely interested because they enjoyed his movies. You might be a "Ghost" and "Dirty Dancing" fan, or maybe you prefer his macho action flicks such as "Roadhouse" and "Next of Kin." It doesn't matter, he discusses them all in this book, and you'll learn things you probably didn't know about the making of his films.Reading the final pages is tough, because we know he didn't have many more days after writing that he was determined to have as many beautiful days together with Lisa as he possibly could. But I'm glad they left it like that, and didn't add something about his passing. We know he's gone, but I appreciated that right to the end he fought and lived, and most importantly loved, loved the person who he shared his life with and who stood by him in good times and bad. Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi have my utmost respect, and I consider them role models on how to endure and stay together, and how to continue to love even when othe
rs might have thrown in the towel.For Patrick Swayze fans, this book is a must. It has some great pictures, entertaining stories, and shares honestly the life of one of Hollywood's favorite stars and portrays the love he held for Niemi, who he said about, "You are my woman, my lover, my mate and my lady. I've loved you forever, I love you now and I will love you forevermore." I wish forevermore would have been longer, but I'm grateful that they were able to complete this book as the final act of his career. Thank you Patrick and Lisa.
