station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled
with tears. He was alive!  I got up the nerve to ask him if his name was Mr.
Gillseppe, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain
look on his face, he replied yes. I explained 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 received.
      He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose4, he could hear me
talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it
was an angel, not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly
believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive.
      Then he told me about his life and what happened to him to put him in the
coma. We both cried for a while and exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and
went our separate ways.
     Although I haven't seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I
know that I made a difference between his life and his death. More importantly,
he has made a tremendous5 difference in my life. I will never forget him and
what he did for me: he made me an angel.
