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 #364:
We never had that period where we didn’t talk.
I’m so glad I that can’t look back and point to a single thing that I  regret about our relationship. I was there for her, I know I was. And I  know she felt loved by me, and cared for by me, because she told me all  the time.
Before she left, she said everything that needed to be said, and so  did I. So for all of the terrible sadness that surrounded her dying, at  least thank god for that.
