Patrick Swayze to Wife: "I Will Love You Forever"

Wednesday – September 16, 2009 – 9:25am

In his upcoming memoir, The Time of My Life (out Sept. 29), Patrick Swayze writes about his incredible 34-year marriage to wife Lisa Niemi.

"How grateful I am that you chose to love me," he writes, according to ABC's Good Morning America, which featured an exclusive audio clip of Swayze reading from his memoir. "I know that because of you, I've found my spirit. I saw the man I wanted to be. You are my woman, my lover, my mate and my lady. I loved you forever, I love you now and I will love you forever more."

Look back at Patrick Swayze's incredible life

On Tuesday's episode of The View, Swayze's pal and Ghost costar, Whoopi Goldberg, offered insight into the couple's incredible union.

"The two of them were in love. They were also together," Goldberg said, with her voice cracking. "I can't explain it any other way."

    Type your comment hereSeptember 16, 2009 - 2:25pm Anonymous Says: Step aside Jon and Kate, Brangelina, Kanye and all the other pitiful losers in the news this week. This is what a man with character looks like. Character enough to stay the course in a 34 yr marriage. ________________________ I couldn't agree more with the above comment posted; I was so sad to hear of his passing. Like so many good people, celebrity or not, they pass too young and too soon. I've loved Patrick Swayze's work, especially his character Ory Main from North & South, and felt he was like that in real life, honorable, kind, strong and sensitive. My thoughts and prayers are with his beloved wife and family.

    what is it with women and taking their husbands names? what is the point of it? to show that your someone's wife? is that how u identify yourselves? maybe some women don't need see the point of it and i've been married 28 years without having the need to do that. i've retained my maiden name and so what? why would it bother anyone else? anyone who has a problem with lisa keeping her name is just pathetic and needs to get a life!

    Even Cowboys loose one eventually. But one thing that is clear, Patrick handled it all with inspiring dignity. His movies were fabulous, but his real life was even more special. Take the love with you brother.

    I have the same relationship with my hubby. I feel for Lisa as I don't know what I would do in the same situation. I just hope to never have to experience that despair. I hope to be the first to go.

    My heart goes out to Lisa during this difficult time. Who cares that she didn't take his last name; she still had 34 years with him! We should all be so lucky to have a man like Patrick bless our lives. Rest in Peace Patrick for now you will no longer suffer or feel pain.

    what a shame,here was a really good man,like a scumbag like Jon gosselin or the rest of them & he was taken too soon. At least his wife knows he loves her 7 they had a wonderful life together. Too bad there aren't more men like him around RIP patrick & condolences Lisa

    Why didn't she take his name? Because she's independent and her own person and no doubt that's what he loved about her. To those who think true love means taking on someone else's identity ... get a life. They were obviously more loyal to each other than many "traditional" couples out there.

    My father died young of cancer and my mother was a very attractive young widow. But, she always said, no man will ever love me like your father and I won't settle for less. My mother is an old lady now. I used to think she should have dated and maybe she would have been lucky again. But, lightning doesn't struck twice. If you have what Patrick and Lisa had, you were fortunate in life. I consider my mother lucky to have been so loved at one time.

    First off...to anonymous 4:33..who cares why she didnt take his last name...doesnt seem to be any of your business in the least. Just because he was a celeb doesnt mean you or anyone else deserve to know every aspect of their lives. Now...what a sweet wonderful thing to say about the woman he loved. We all could only wish to have that in our lives even for a little while. They had it for 34 wonderful years. Its to bad they couldnt have 34 more.

    Anonymous 4:33- Does it REALLY matter that she didn't take his last name?? I don't think she gives a rat's @$$ if you know who she is or not. Her friends, her family and the people who matter to HER know her and her name. RIP Patrick.
