Memory and Remembrance

There must be a lot of things that we always regret in our hearts, but we always hide it with our tears. That's the way we are. When a forest fire was coming closer to my friend's house, and she and her family decided on evacuation, the things she collected at home were the only jewelry. The forest fire ended up not coming for the change of the wind's direction.

She would like to bring all things at home if she could, such as furniture that she and her husband bought together in Melbourne for the first time, and small things they bought together as marriage anniversaries, so many things she had to leave behind at home.

Before the due date of delivery, she bought a small present for her baby, the baby girl has grown up to be a pretty University student this year. She knows the baby girl still has it in a drawer of the study desk. My friend not only leave the things, but also her heart, sweet memories and remembrance.

When I was a mere child, and did not know any English l, I still remember a phrase and a relic in English. When I heard the music, I used to sing it a lot of times, I felt being moved and fascinated with moody male voice, " I've left my heart in San Francisco." It seems to me that I left my heart in somewhere in my life. I feel sentimental tonight. Good night.

There must be a lot of things that we always regret in our hearts, but we always hide ithem with our tears. There must be a lot of things that we regret in our hearts, but we hide them with our tears.

The always isn't wrong, but it feels more natural without. Regret implies a continuous state. Always might imply one may never come to not regret it in the future. But others may disagree - it is a stylistic comment.

That's the way we are.

She would have brought everything if she could, like the first furniture that she and her husband bought together in Melbourne, and small things they bought each other for marriage anniversaries, and many other things she had to leave behind at home.

- Were these anniversary presents they bought for each other, or things they chose together? - "... anniversaries, and many other things..." or " ... anniversaries. There were so many things..." << you can start a new sentence there. I tried to think of a way to use "so many things" without starting a new sentence...

Before the due date of delivery, she bought a small present for her baby, the baby girl has grown up to be a pretty University student this year.


Before ther due date of deliveryaughter's birth, she bought a small present for her baby, ; now the baby girl has grown up to be a pretty University student this year. Before her daughter's birth, she bought a small present for her baby; now the baby girl has grown up to be a pretty University student this year.

This first correction is to be more natural. The semi-colon is for correct grammar, but many people don't observe such rules in personal writing like this.

Before tshe due date of delivgave birth to her daughtery, she bought a small present for ther baby, t. The baby girl has grown up to be a pretty U, and started university student this year. Before she gave birth to her daughter, she bought a small present for the baby. The baby girl has grown up, and started university this year.

.... sorry, this is complicated. "Before the due date of delivery, she bought a small present for her baby, the baby girl has grown up to be a pretty University student this year. - University in the middle of a sentence doesn't need to be capitalized. - "... for her baby, who has grown up and started university this year." - Americans would usually say "college" instead of "university", but this is natural British usage. I don't know what's used in Australia, though. - "the due date of delivery" would be best if you were talking about a pregnancy you had already talked about. Since this is the first mention, something like "when she was pregnant with her daughter," or "Before her daughter was born." would be more clear. - "The baby has grown up to be a pretty university student" works well, but not with "this year". You can cut "this year" unless that is something you want to point out.

She knows the baby girl still has it in a drawer of the study desk.


She knows the baby girl still has it in a drawer of the study deskkeeps the gift in a desk drawer. She knows the baby girl still keeps the gift in a desk drawer.

I'm not sure if the gift is with the daughter at university or at the family home that was left behind. You might say for the former: "she knows the baby girl still keeps the gift with her in a desk drawer", or for the latter "she knows the baby girl kept the gift in a desk drawer at the family home."

She knows the baby girlr daughter still has ithat gift in athe drawer of ther study desk. She knows her daughter still has that gift in the drawer of her study desk.

- We would say "the drawer" instead of "a drawer" even though we aren't saying which drawer. - Is the desk in the house they evacuated because of the fire, or somewhere else with the daughter, like in her dorm?

My friend not only leave the things, but also her heart, sweet memories and remembrance.
