Reason #332:
I loved the night my sister and cousins tried to teach my mother and Aunt Dina Soulja Boy’s “Crank That” dance in the living room after dinner. My Aunt Dina is known for getting a few drinks in her and being willing to dance to just about anything. In fact, I don’t even know if the drinking is a requisite, she just likes to dance.
I like this memory because it just happened out of nowhere. My sister, and our cousins Abby and Hannah, got up and started doing the Souja Boy dance. I don’t know if you know it, but it’s stupid and also awesome. My mom didn’t participate immediately other than to laugh, but soon after the lesson was over, the entire family had moved to the backyard for an impromptu dance party. It was my mom, dad, sisters, cousins, aunts, everyone. It was fun and weird and a nice little memory I have of her and my dad’s side of the family.
And in case you’re wondering: yes, the picture above is of my mom, from that night, shakin’ it.

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
