Reason #329:
My dad was often coming up with new things he thought would be fun. Oftentimes, it was the rest of the family’s job to respond with, “No, that would not be fun.”
One of those times was when my dad thought it would be fun for him and my mom to go out and ride a bicycle built for two. I remember my mom’s friend Bonnie teasing my mom, saying, “Oh Joanne, you are not gonna go out there and pedal around on a bicycle built for two!”
But she did. And they had a really good time. I really liked that she was eventually up for it, even though everyone else was making fun of the idea. And this is sort of how things normally went; my dad would suggest something we decided was lame, we would make fun of him for it, and then she (and we) would all cave and end up enjoying ourselves.

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
