Reasons I Love My Mother

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.

  • Reason #349:
In our first home in Sacramento, I had bunk beds in my room. Not because I shared a room with anyone, just because I had requested bunk beds. Before that, I slept in a waterbed.
Are you starting to get an accurate picture of me as a child? If you’ve only been able to hone in on weird, close enough.
I remember loving those bunks; I would alternate beds night to night as I saw fit. They were completely unnecessary, but my parents got them for me anyway. I guess they decided to spend a little extra on getting me what I wanted for my room since I spent a lot of time in there doing things like challenging myself to read 200-page books in a single sitting, just for “fun”.
I love the memories I have of my mom tucking me into those bunk beds when I was little. She would sing me songs really softly when I couldn’t sleep and it was incredibly comforting. I would never remember her stopping because she would stay there singing until I was out.
That was nice.
So were those bunks.
