On the ride over to Uncle Bennie’s, I think about what the doctor told me about my mother. Even though I hate to admit it, I’m fascinated by her. Every time I find out something new, it’s like finding a dollar when all you have is a penny in your pockets. With her in town lately, it’s been like having a jigsaw puzzle in front of me and not having a clue as to where to start to get it put together to see the finished result.

Last week, Adrian and I took her out to eat at a spaghetti place downtown. The entire time we were there, Louise asked Adrian a million questions. Adrian seemed to have the nosy bug too, because she asked just as many questions of Louise. I was glad Adrian was asking questions, because it kept me from having to.

My mother just released her first CD in France after all this time. The title of the CD is Rivermoon Blues. I almost choked on my Sprite when I heard the title. Rivermoon is the name of the street we lived on. Shreese and I grew up on Rivermoon Drive, where Pops still lives. I guess she was sad that she left us behind so she felt compelled to relay some kind of message on her CD. Well, that’s too bad, because it’s her own fault and I ain’t trying to have a pity party for her. Louise still seems a lot less friendly towards Adrian. I picked up on it the first time they met, but I figured it was because Louise had been away so long. But now it’s bothering me. I mean, Louise is not rude or blatantly unfriendly towards my girl, but the way she treats her is odd. Like she doesn’t want Adrian to get to know her. Maybe it’s just my imagination. I haven’t been around Louise enough to know how she reacts to new people, but the wedding is right around the corner and I’m sure her true colors will have come out by then. And when they do, I want to be right there. Uncle Bennie always said my mother had some funny ways. I guess leaving her family was only one of them.
