41 I spent there was with Mr Gillespie. He never had any
42 , and nobody seemed to care about his
43 .
I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him,
__44__anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine,
45 he responded with only an occasional squeeze(捏) of my hand. Mr Gillespie was in a coma(昏迷).

57 believed that it was my voice and
