![Reason #328:
When we would walk our dog together, it was always hilarious watching her try to control him. My dad was the disciplinarian and the one who trained him, so he knew all the commands and such, but when it was my mom’s turn to take the reins and try to get him to heel - by saying “heel”, for example - it rarely worked.
To remedy this, she would just gasp really loudly at him in an exaggeratedly disappointed tone and then scold him in baby talk. Literally. She would say things like, “[gaaaaaaaassssp] Dono! Oh no! You have to listen to me when I tell you to heel, okay Dono? You are not being a very good listener, are you? Nooooo.”
It rarely worked. But she had fun.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3xh92a7t51qzop47o1_400.jpg)

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
