Wetting

[A girl meeting her old grandmother and is in a doubt if she can see her again]. Im writing a blog something related to this. This is only few fragments hope its better understood..

I need to frame the below sentences in grammatically right english, can use some good words in place of ['wetting', 'fraction of a second' etc]

1. Whenever I recollect those happy moments my eyes itself starts wetting.

2. Not even for a fraction of a second it came to my mind that these few hours / Not even for a moment it came to my mind that these cute moments will last only for few hours and will soon become the past and I will be left alone with only the fond memories. If only this thought had come to me at that time it would have been then difficult to control my grieving heart.

3. I really lived every moments of those few hours to my heart's content.

4. But it was only hours later after getting back to where I had left off, I realized, that it was the only few hours where I found I was least bothered about the future and had lived the present. As the kind of person I understand Iam, is who always tend to either think about the future or the past and in the process let go the present.

please do the needful thanks in advance.

Nothing is needful, as far as I am concerned. There is no need for me to answer anything. I suggest that you abandon that phrase.

Sir, I did get exactly what you wanted to convey by writing the above. Which pharse should I abandon?

"please do the needful". Its meaning is obscure except to Indian English speakers.

I guess as Ive written only few sentences it seems obscure. But your answer has really helped me to complete my script. And Iam sorry as I feel the Nationality has nothing to do with speaking english.

There are many, many English idioms and turns of phrase that are misunderstood or incomprehensible outside their regions, dec, and it would behoove you to learn them. Saying that you 'knocked up a lady' could get you in social trouble in America but nary a raised eyebrow in Britain.

The phrase 'to do the needful' is very common in your English, but is not acceptable in business letters
