Fleeting Memories
Grahame Elliott
- Throughout
- Rose's
- life,
- her
- memories
- would
- surface
- unexpectedly—triggered
- by
- a
- word,
- a
- situation,
- or
- even
- in
- her
- dreams.
- She
- would
- write
- them
- down
- as
- quickly
- as
- they
- surfaced,
- capturing
- them
- before
- they
- faded.
- These
- memories
- shaped
- how
- she
- saw
- the
- world,
- how
- she
- reacted
- to
- life's
- challenges,
- and
- how
- they
- lingered
- in
- her
- thoughts,
- often
- influencing
- her
- decisions.This
- memoir
- isn't
- about
- Rose's
- writing
- skills.
- It's
- about
- her
- life.
- She
- had
- only
- just
- begun
- a
- casual
- writing
- course
- for
- the
- fun
- of
- it,
- never
- realising
- that
- each
- of
- her
- stories—memories
- scribbled
- down
- as
- they
- came
- to
- her—would
- reveal
- a
- much
- bigger
- picture.More
- about
- Rose's
- life
- can
- be
- found
- in
- 'Jack's
- Promises',
- an
- historical
- novel
- by
- Grahame
- Elliott,
- based
- on
- memories
- of
- her
- struggle
- to
- survive
- in
- the
- Australian
- outback
- during
- the
- Depression
- of
- the
- 30s
- and
- WWII.Rose
- passed
- away
- in
