A good friend of mine passed away in June. John had cancer. Before you offer        , you should know that he didn’t want to be mourned(哀悼). It’s been a hard request to follow, but he felt he had lived a         life. As the cancer progressed, we fell into a(n)        of exchanging semi-regular emails. We generally      talking about his illness until the very end,            we talked about everything else: from baseball to snowstorms, to my garden and his art. We talked as if nothing would          . I’d mention a beach trip and John would tell me about surfing there when he was younger. I’d talk about some press(新闻)          that I would be attending and he’d tell me about the time he went to a party         by JPMorgan’s descendants(后代). In this way, John gave me a(n)        view of my world; it became layered with his stories.
One of our favorite things to do was         email the other if we happened to find an interesting movie on television. The other night, I        a very good movie, and without thinking about it I          for my laptop to send him an email, and then I        he wasn’t there to receive it. I put my laptop down with a small        of uneasiness --- and found something else to watch.
It’s hard not to have a digital presence today. While John wasn’t an active social media          ,he did have at least two email addresses, a LinkedIn account, and a website where he shared his art. Now that he’s        , these thing still exist, though unattended. I’m sure his work email has been closed, but I have no idea if anyone is         his other email address, or has the intention of contacting LinkedIn, or has         to his website. I’m sure at some        the registration will come to an end and his site will be closed, but until then, John has a(n)         online.
