The birt of a baby
This Monday one of my best friends, Pityu and his wife, Janka became parents, as Janka gave birth to their beautiful baby, Lenke. They are really amazing people, and I'm really glad to meet Lenke next week. Unfortunately, lately several relatives of my friends has passed away, I was in a bit gloomy mood and the arrival of the little newcomer made me wonder: the birth of a baby to this world has to be the same amount of the joy, as the loss of friend.
The reason why we feel the loss as a stronger sentiment is that we have personal bindings with the deceased in form of common memories. If only there were a method to somehow predict who will be the classmates, friends and loves of a newborn and somehow summon them on that special celebration of the birth.
Until that moment arrives, I suggest to celebrate the birth of a new friend or relative as it deserves: one of the most significant moment of the one's life.
To Lenke Szívós!!!

The birth of a baby
This Monday one of my best friends, Pityu and his wife, Janka became parents, when Janka gave birth to their beautiful baby, Lenke. They are really amazing people, and I'm really looking forward to meeting Lenke next week. Unfortunately, since several of my friends' relatives have passed away recently, I have been in a bit of a gloomy mood and the arrival of the little newcomer made me wonder: the birth of a baby into this world should (give or bring) the same amount of the joy, as the pain caused by the loss of friend.The reason why we feel the loss as a stronger sentiment is that we have personal connections with the deceased in the form of common memories. If only there were a method to somehow predict who will be the classmates, friends and loves of a newborn and somehow summon them on that special celebration of the birth.
Until that moment arrives, I suggest we celebrate the birth of a new friend or relative as it deserves: one of the most significant moments of their life.

Szia Markosz. I'm new to Italki, this is my first time correcting a notebook entry. Hope it helps.
Your last sentence is tricky ... "celebrate the birth of a new friend or relative as it deserves" is grammatically correct, as "it" refers to "the birth" ... but even so, I think few English speakers would say it this way ... even though it's grammatically incorrect, I think most people would say "celebrate the birth of a new friend or relative as they deserve" ... with "they" referring to the new friend or relative -- and additionally, note that we often use "them/they/their" as singular when referring to a person whose gender we do not know.
Köszi,
