Cup, Saucer, and Plate

Description

I didn’t have a great relationship with my mom but we did share one story. On my birthday throughout my life, she would tell me about the morning of my birth. She had been quite depressed however happened to look toward the window sill and there sat the most beautiful bluebird- she thought it was a good sign. Over the years we often gave each other little mementos of bluebirds. When she died, a yellow finch came to my window ledge and stayed nearby for several days. I never saw it again.
