Reasons I Love My Mother

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.

  • Reason #317:
Because she spent her entire Spring Break one year in Wisconsin learning how to make frozen custard as part of my dad’s dream to open up his own frozen custard shop.
In all fairness to my dad, his custard shop was incredible and delicious and really great, but I do love the hilariousness of them all having to fly to the midwest during their Spring Break to learn how to make custard from scratch.
I specifically love this picture of all of them in front of the factory where the custard is made: Ross’s Manufacturing. You don’t think it’s gonna be a fun place to hang out until you see that there’s a custard cone in the logo, and then you know it’s not gonna be fun.
