Beads Quote by Celia Imrie
“If I look back, my mother was always out. I can remember the perfume and her scarlet chiffon dress and crystal beads, going to a party. She used to play her violin at restaurants later on in life and at old people's homes. She loved the races, which she used to take me to as a child: our carpets were bought with her winnings. Loved her chickens.”

![“Writing is a futile attempt to preserve what disappears moment by moment. All that remains of my mother is what I remember and what I have written for and about her. Eventually that is all that will remain of [my husband] and me. Writing sometimes feels frivolous and sometimes sacred, but memory…” quote by Marge Piercy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c10/marge-piercy-2610_all-that-remains_writing-is-a-futile-attempt-to-preserve_2603432.jpg)
