Reason #330:
Until the age of eleven, my sister Janelle and I would fly from Sacramento down to southern California every other weekend to visit my biological father, who had partial custody of us. It was a confusing time; their divorce was not an easy one, and the back-and-forth was taxing on us and very emotionally confusing and difficult.
The Thanksgiving after I turned eleven, my sister Janelle and I actually had to testify in court to stop our visitations down south. It’s a long complicated story, but the bottom line is: it was a hard thing to go through as a child.
Thing I love about my mother, though, is that I sometimes forget this was even a part of my childhood. When I think about growing up, I think about how easy I had it and how loved I felt. It’s not until people really ask me about it that I even remember all the shitty stuff. It’s a real testament to what a great home she provided for us.

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
