Reason #356:
When she was younger, she could travel upwards of thirty minutes by foot and/or boat to buy twenty-five cents worth of candy.
This is fact.
I met one of her old high school friends yesterday on the lake. She introduced herself and I immediately recognized her name; instantly, stories about her came flooding back to me. And one of the very first things she remembered about my mom was how she loved her candy and how the two of them would travel far and wide to buy a quarter’s worth of anything they could get their hands on.
I would like to think this is where I get my going-out-at-two-in-the-morning-to-buy-Pringles-and-Mountain-Dew from.

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
