First off, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Wishing you peace!
Change
Recently, I lost one important family member, my grandmother. And because I'm living far away in a different city, and my father only informed me of this bad news the day before her funeral, I didn't have the chance to see her for the last time.
I wasn't her favorite grandchild, and we were not really close when I was little. Even though we didn't get along, I feel sad, and feel sorry for my father.My father is her oldest son, but not her dearest, even though he'd been looking after her for several years since she had started getting old. She was always unhappy... My father lost his mom forever, she's disappeared. And what makes me panic is to think one day, I will lose my dad and my mom...
I asked for 2 days off; I just want to go out to see some place different, to breathe some air, to break the ritual of daily life. A little travel may make me feel better, and many things need to be thought through. Decisions need to be made; I need some change in my life.0 votedMarch 23, 20162- To my ear, either the first or the third ("a minute later" or "after a minute"). The second option would absolutely be understood, but it changes the tense to present for a moment, which jars the ear. I think "a minute later" would be most common and "after a minute" is more formal, perhaps how you'd do it in writing. Hope this helps! Happy learning!0 votedMarch 23, 20160
