"One lady used to take my mum outside to see Dad coming home in his daily clogs as she thought my mum was marrying beneath her...the only money Dad ever borrowed was £1 from mother and she said 'I was so proud to lend it to him for he was pure gold." -Rosa, R.M Remembers, p.3-4

Final edits are underway for my Researching Writing Lives post. It difficult to comprehend just how much reading Rosa's memoir has impacted me - it's certainly made me question my outlook on life for Rosa remains so positive even though the most difficult times. #Writinglives

@BetiThomas2019 Agreed! I saw @LjmuTaylor do a thread of all her posts and had to copy 😂

Rosa writes that her one true goal in life had to become a writer: “I have always wanted to do one thing + that was to become a writer and would you who may read these lines – say I just became a Drifter” (p.149) #WritingLives
