When I was in the seventh grade , I was a voluntary nurse assistant at a local hospital in my town . Most of the time I spent there was with Mr.Gillespie . He never had any _16__ and nobody seemed to care about his _17__.

　　 I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him , _18_ anything that needed to be done . He became a close friend of mine , _19_ he responded (反应)with only an occasional hold of my hand 　20　 　he was in a dizzy(头晕).

　　 I left for a week to vacation with my　 parents , and when I came back , Mr . Gillespie was _21_. I didn’t have the _22_ to ask any of the nurses where he was for fear that they might _23_ me that he had　 died .

　　 Several _24_ later , when I was a junior in high school , I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face . When I _25_ who it　 was , my eyes were filled with tears . He was _26_ ! I got up the courage(勇气) to ask him if his name was Mr . Gillespie . With _27_ look on his face , he replied yes .　 I _28_ how I knew him , and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital . His eyes were full of　 tears , and gave me the warmest hug I had ever 　29_.

　　 He began to tell me how , _30_ he lay there unconsciously(无意识地), he could hear me talking to him and could _31_ me holding his hand the whole time .　 Mr . Gillespie _32_ believed that it was my voice and _33_ that had kept his alive .

　　 Although I haven’t _34_ him since , he fills my heart with _35_ every day . I know that I made a difference between his life and his death .
