Hi iluvmilka,

I don't understand this text

I'll set a poll to see if the community can help, OK?

I'm not better than Ania at English, but if I could suggest some changes:

If not for my ancestors, there would be nothing
No awareness, no soul, no body
It's Forefathers' exhausting life what caused my existance(or: what caused that I exist)
And with me and in me the piece of them remained (past)
(or: so with me as in me)

My warm greetings!

you can obviously change whatever you want, Aneta's suggestions are v.helpful and if you think they sound better then please use them

Thanks Aneta for your suggestions. They sound fine. Just:
before "forefathers' life" there should be a possessive (my/our)
the piece ---> a piece

Do you agree, girls?

You are right for sure, Lilly. We have no possessive before "forefathers", but I believe that pecularity of English grammar requires it. If so, I stand up for "our"...
I put "the" article before "piece" to emphasize it, beacuse it is a main word in that line. But, you are the master and I agree whatever you decide.
I'm glad if I could help a bit.
