I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. Gradually, he became a close friend of     3    . However, at that time, he was in a coma (昏迷).

I left for a week to take a vacation     4     I had expected for a long time. After I came back, I found Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t dare to ask any of the nurses where he was. So I continued volunteering there through my eighth-grade year     5     many questions unanswered.

Several years later, one day a familiar face     6     by me as soon as I got to the gas station. After I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. I was so surprised that he was still alive. I offered to ask     7     his name was Mr. Gillespie. He answered yes. Then I explained how I knew him. I could see the tears in his eyes and he gave me his     8     smile I had ever seen. He began to tell me that he could hear me talking to him the whole time. He thought it was an angel (天使) not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie     9     believed that it was my voice and touch that had made him alive till now.

I know that I have brought him back to life. More importantly, he     10     a great influence on my life since I met him. I will never forget him and what he has done for me: I am an angel in his eyes…
