My mother has been gone these last twelve years, but I still have my dad, and that's great.<br /><br />I think the mother-daughter relationship is very, very complex. I often see thorny relationships, even into adulthood. I know I have read books about these relationships, but right now I can't think of a single title.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5447574405650512339.post-29467006394683143132023-10-29T18:58:02.561-04:002023-10-29T18:58:02.561-04:00That is so nice.

I lost my mother too soon, but fortunately we had managed to develop a well-functioning adult relationship first. <br /><br />My dad called his mother on Sundays at 4pm -- weekend rates applied until 5pm when they went up to evening rates. My brother and I called our mother on Sundays, even when telephone rates were evolving in a different direction. Now, we call each other on Sundays. I enjoy that the tradition has continued, even though the reason is long gone.

My favorite is There is a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems, a picture book. My two favorite adult bird books are The Thing with Feathers and What It's Like to Be a Bird. I am pretty sure I'd enjoy Mozart's Starling, so I'm adding that one to my list.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing starlings with us this week.
