story-need help
Hello, I live in Poland (who now where it is?) and I look for a help. My English is not very good so could you check this short story? I don't find better place, I think. So? Here it is:
My name is Patryk and I live in a big city in west of Poland. I work in rather big insurance company. A few years ago something strange had happened to me. It was during Christmas. I was planning , as
always, to spend that time with my close family. But few days earlier I had argued with them and I decided that this year I would spend Christmas at home. I didn't want to spend few hours in car, and possibility of spending that time with my family wasn't good neither.
On Christmas eve, after lonely dinner, I had decided to go for a little ride. When I had been driving through the wood my car suddenly broke up. I was not able to fix it. It was getting darker so I decided to look for some help. I had found a house and I knocked at the door. An elderly women opened the door and invited me inside. She seated me at the table with the rest of her family. When I was glancing them, dishes and Christmas tree I felt some kindness emitting from them. I had had to wait for mechanics so I spent night in their house. Next morning I went back home. And to think only that morning i saw my life as being empty and dull.

Hello Gravedigger
I'll mark the text in bold where something is missing, and in italics where you need to change the wording. See if you can correct them yourself first. Then I'll check your corrections for you.

Hi,
Mr. P, In your reply, you indicated the following sentence as being in need of some corrections:
A few years ago something strange had happen to me.
And I would correct as this: A few years ago, something strange has occurred to me.
Aside from my correction, if the sentence is to be read, "A few years ago, something has happend to me." How is this sen
