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 #363:
Today we’re gonna get real.
Reason #85, all those months ago, reminisced about a funny trait of my mom’s - that when she’d laugh really hard, she would threaten that we were about to make her pee.
But now it’s time to pull the gloves off.
Last summer, I went home to visit my mom, and my sisters and I were sitting outside at the backyard table. I don’t know what we were talking about, but it got my mom to laughing. Then really, really laughing.
Then, this happened, pretty much verbatim:
“Hahaha stop making me laugh, I’m gonna pee! I’m gonna pee! Hahaha, stop, stop! I’m gonna pee! 
Oh god. Oh god. I’m peeing! I’m peeing. I am peeing my pants right now! Oh no! Hahahah, stop making me laugh! I’m really peeing right now! 
Okay, I peed. I peed. I really just peed! Hahahaha! You guys, you made me pee my pants!”
She literally gave us a play-by-play as she peed her pants in front of us.
Classic Mom.
