Patrick Swayze’s widow still ‘feels his presence’

LONDON - Patrick Swayze’s widow has said she can still feel the presence of her late husband, four months after his death.
Dancer Lisa Niemi, who had been married to the Ghost and the Dirty Dancing actor for 34 years until his death from pancreatic cancer in September last year, revealed how much she missed him.
“Honestly, the kind of grief I experienced after Patrick was gone was literally on a cellular level. It’s something deep inside your body that you have no control over. I can still feel the contour of his hand in mine,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
“Sometimes when I’m driving on the freeway, I feel like I can just look over and see him sitting beside me like he did when I would take him to his chemo treatments.
“I’d put the pedal to the metal in our car and he’d break out into this big, mischievous grin. And I’d reach over and grab his hand and it was wonderful.
“Even though we’d be on our way to chemo, we both savoured those moments,” she added. (ANI)
