Reason #331:
I considered her sort of my anchor. She could be a very still and calming presence, and even if she was thousands of miles away, just the idea of her calmed me down or comforted me if I was worried or anxious.
Sometimes I get all panicky now because I feel like moms are the one person designated to be there for you and love you for the long haul regardless of what happens, and it takes me a second to realize how silly I’m being; I have a lot of people in my life who care for me, and who will do so unconditionally forever.
But I dunno, it’s different with moms. It just is.

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
