   I was driving down the road, going to see my mother.  She insisted that every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I was to see her.  I could simply not go, just turn the car around and go home.  I could call her later and say I didn't feel well, but she would see past my lies, she was my mom after all.  I could just tell the truth and say I didn't want to come over, but I couldn't say no to my mom.  She had always been there, after my fuck-up sperm doner had kicked rocks, after my step-dad died, when Shadow my sweet dog had died, when my so called "friends" decided I was to weird to be around. Most importantly, she was there when everyone called me crazy, a mistake, a simple ugly screw up.  My mom loved me no matter what was wrong with me.  She was my best friend.  I would do anything to make her laugh or smile.  She had me when she was 16 and somehow put up with me for so long. I had to repay her no matter what. 
   I pulled into the driveway and walked up to the oak door, pulled out my key and walked in the house. "Mom?" I hollered, "I'm in the kitchen honey." She replied. I hung my coat on the hook near the door and placed my purse on the table in the living room. I saw pictures from when I was younger. Us at the park, or on the holidays, or just some weird ass selfie we decided was perfect for decoration. 
   I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom sitting at the table, on her laptop.  I sat down, " Hi mom, whatcha doin?" I said like an 8 year old.  She looked over to me " Just some stupid paperwork." She shut the laptop and and started to ask me how I was doing, as always. " Are you eating normally honey?" "Yes momma I promise." I replied. "Okay good, how's work?" " Work is just," I placed my head in my hand and dropped it to the table "ugggggggh." She laughed a little " Trust me I feel you."  I looked at her and started laughing my ass off, almost falling out of my chair. "What," she protested " I can be cool to ya know." We both laughed and talked some more about my therapy, and I asked her how things were going with her health and her job.
   After we talked a bit longer I gave her a hug, told her I loved her, gathered my things and was on my way home.
