As we drove,he asked if I was about 28.I said yes.The next thing he said filled my eyes with tears.Ibrushed1.away so he couldn't see.Three years ago,John's daughter passed away unexpectedly at 29.She left behind a 4-year-old son.He told me I reminded him of her,we shared the same kind heart and that's 2.（why/because）he asked.

“I wish I could have 3.more.Why couldn't I bring her back to life?Why didn't I know her husband was silently suffering?How come I didn't dig further to find out so I could help?I wish I would have done more.And now it's all too late.”We talked like we'd known each other our whole lives on our 25-minute drive to the 4..

As we arrived,I looked over at him,5.rolling down his cheeks.My heart melted into my stomach.He looked over at me,with uncontrollable tears and said,“I'm so sorry for all of this.I have never met someone so kind-hearted,so friendly,and so non-judgemental.I felt like I lifted so many years of feelings off my 6.（hand/mind）—to someone I didn't even know,but was willing to 7..”
