Chapter 19: Dee's Mother
My mother's house is a brick two-story on the south side with a porch my father built in 1991.
On Sunday at five she stood in the doorway in her good cardigan and looked Cal Ellender up and down.
"You're taller than the television," she said.
"Thank you for having me, Mrs. Kozak."
"Ma'am will do." She looked at his hands. "You brought nothing."
"Dee told me you'd say to leave it on the step."
"Good. She listens sometimes."
She turned and went down the hall, and Cal looked at me, and I whispered, "That was her warm."
The kitchen smelled of roast beef and onions.
My father's chair sat at the head of the table with a clean plate in front of it, as it had for six years.
Cal looked at it and didn't ask.
"Sit there," my mother said, and pointed to the chair on the right.
It was the seat Frank sat in at Christmas.
