When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (Ö¾Ô¸»¤Ê¿³¤) at a local hospital in my town.Most of the time I spent there was with Mr.Gillespie.He never had any __1__£¬ and nobody seemed to care about his __2__.I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, __3__ anything that needed to be done.He became a close friend of mine, __4__ he responded with only a(n) __5__ squeeze of my hand.Mr.Gillespie was in a coma(»èÃÔ)£®

I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr.Gillespie was __6__.I didn’t have the __7__  to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might __8__ me he had died.

Several __9__ later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.When I __10__ who it was, my eyes filled with tears.He was __11__£¡ I got up the nerve to ask him if his name was Mr.Gillespie.With a (n) __12__¡¡look on his face, he replied yes.I __13__ how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital.His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever __14__.

He began to tell me how,  __15__  he lay there comatose, he could hear me talking to him and could __16__ me holding his hand the whole time.Mr.Gillespie __17__ believed that it was my voice and __18__ that had kept him alive.

Although I haven’t __19__ him since, he fills my heart with __20__ every day.I know that I made a difference between his life and his death.
