WITH MY OWN CORRECTIONS.
I can remember that monday morning as well as it was today. It was a sunny day and the weather was a little chilly. We had gone to visit grandma for a family meeting and there were some children playing in the backyard.
My older daughter's age was 14 months and she had been walking around grandma and me while we were cooking.
Suddenly, we heard a scream and my nephew, 5 years, started crying aloud. My sister in law ran toward and rised him to get calm and washed his injury so I ran to the bathroom looking for a towel but I got in shock when I found my baby up-side down into a water container; her legs were shaking slowly, so I rised her and tried hardly she could breathe. I could even hear that her ducts were full of water.
Then, I took her by an arm and beat on the leg; I thought: if she starts crying, she will be abe to breathe, but she didn't. Eventually, I remembered (like a lightning) that she was always afraid to be thrown, I mean, without support in legs. I threw her, and finally, she could breathe and started crying.
Grandma had been watching us and was crying and running without knowing what to do.
After my baby started crying, grandma told me: _ 'give me the baby and drink a glass of water' but I couldn't listen 'cause I felt unconscious.
Twenty three years later, I keep a thankful feeling to God for being there in that moment.
This is the most important serendipity in my life: I was looking for a towel for someone else and found my daughter in a critical situation, thanks God, saving her life.
I hope it can be useful for homework.
Have a nice night and take care.

ps1: I agree with you about the bishop's suggestion. hahaha thanks.
ps2: I think people do know what love means but don't wanna practice it.
ps3: I wonder if you have time enough to eat and sleep 'cause you have so many pupils and homeworks to check.

Hi Yolanda,
ReplyDeleteWow, what a schock it must have been for you to find your daughter like that at that age!
By the way, I saw your daughter yesterday (Friday) at CELEX. She's friends with another friend of mine who is also a teacher there. We were trying to learn how to dance salsa hehe
Here are some corrections or suggestions:
¤I can remember that monday morning as well as -it was- today.
(as well as if it were[/was] today--"were" is better)
¤for a family -meeting-
(gathering*--"meeting" is usually for businesses and a "reunion" happens when you reunite after many many years)
¤Suddenly, we heard a scream and my nephew, -5 years-, started crying aloud.
(five or five years old--"five years" is incomplete)
¤My sister in law ran -toward- and -rised him- -to get calm- and washed his injury
(sister-in-law ran toward him and picked him up to calm him down: to pick up=levantar, to calm down=calmar)
¤so I ran to the bathroom looking for a towel -but I got in shock when I found- my baby up-side down into a water container;
(and I was shocked to find, Was the container a bucket?=cubeta)
¤so I -rised her- and -tried hardly- she could breathe.
(I picked her up and she could hardly breathe? Casi no podía respirar)
¤Eventually, I remembered (like a lightning) that she was always afraid to be thrown, I mean, without support in legs.
(I quickly remembered, supporting her legs?)
¤-thanks- God, saving her life.
(thank God)
¤ps1: I agree with you about the bishop's suggestion. hahaha thanks.
You're welcome.
¤ps2: I think people do know what love means but don't wanna practice it.
Maybe so.
¤ps3: I wonder if you have time enough to eat and sleep 'cause you have so many pupils and homeworks to check.
I also wonder how I have enough time lol
See you in class.
