Family Travel / 9

No one refuses when I ask. “Of course. I’m happy to,” they say. “I’ll tell you all about your mother.”

Then they say, “Your mother was a wonderful cook.”

I get a menu. And that’s the end of it.

I was just about to meet my mother--she was in the next room--but she stepped out to the kitchen and left me staring at the food.
