Reason #316:
She always fought for me to sit at the Adult Table at family functions.
I am the oldest grandchild - the youngest is six years old - and so being stuck at the kids’ table felt like a punishment even though it wasn’t. I remember sitting with the eight year olds when I was in high school, thinking “If only those adults knew how much I could be adding to their conversations right now!”.
The only time I knew I was guaranteed a spot with the adults was when my mom was around, FIGHTING FOR MY RIGHTS.
So thank you mom, you were (and are) a hero.

Hi there.
My name is Chris Kelly, and I am a writer, comedian and actor that lives in New York City. But more importantly, I am the son of a pretty great mom.
She was diagnosed with cancer a couple of years ago, and in June of 2009, I decided to start compiling a list of 365 Reasons Why I Love My Mother.
I lived with my mother her last few months, and during the hard, sad times, I found this website helpful in focusing on the good and the happy.
My mom passed away on September 27th, 2009. She was a lovely person to have known and a lovely mother to have had.
Here are just 365 reasons why.
Chris
