fix the grammar issues of these paragraphs:

Hugo and Sophie turned forty years old last winter. For them, it was the end of the world and they became sad. Fortunately, they had a planned trip to Rivière-au-Renard, their hometown. This allowed them to think about something else.

At the end of my school year, my parents are gone in Gaspésie. Me, I stayed at my friend Josie's house. A week later, my parents came to pick me up from my friend. I immediately saw that they were very happy.


What amazing holiday! said Mom. This one-week stay gave me energy!
We visited all the places we frequented during our youth, Dad told me. When returning home, the headlights came on the other side of the street. A black car with tinted windows.

Can you explain all the mistakes I had made in the original text?
Here are the main issues I found in the original text and how I corrected them:

1. For them, it was the end of the world and they became sad. -> Changed to For them, it felt like the end of the world, and they became sad. to clarify that it just felt that way metaphorically, not literally.

2. This allowed them to think about something else. -> Changed to which allowed them to think about something else. to properly refer to the trip as the antecedent.

3. At the end of my school year, my parents are gone in Gaspésie. -> Changed to At the end of my school year, while my parents went to Gaspésie, to clarify the timing and fix the grammar error (are gone should be went).

4. Me, I stayed at my friend Josie's house. -> Removed Me, I which is unnecessary.

5. A week later, my parents came to pick me up from my friend. -> Changed to A week later, my parents came to pick me up. to remove the unnecessary from my friend.

6. This one-week stay gave me energy! -> Changed to This one-week stay gave me so much energy! for better flow and emphasis.

7. We visited all the places we frequented during our youth -> Changed to We visited all the places we used to go to during our youth for variety and better word choice.

8. When returning home, the headlights came on the other side of the street. -> Changed to As we were returning home, the headlights of a black car with tinted windows came on the other side of the street. for clarity and more detail.
