H.R. No. 1119
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Around the world, people have set aside a day each
year to honor those very special persons among us, the mothers who
brought us into this world, protected us, and taught us how to make
our way, and on May 11, 2003, Texans and all Americans will join in
celebrating El Dia de las Madres/Mother's Day in the United States;
and
WHEREAS, It is fitting that Mother's Day should be celebrated
in the spring, when we see life renewed all around us; mothers give
life, and they give fresh starts, forgiving their children's
mistakes and wrong turns and encouraging them to try again and
again; and
WHEREAS, On this day, we pay tribute to mothers for their
stubborn persistence in seeking to give their children a bright and
promising future; resourceful, strong, and brave in this quest,
they are indeed heroes in every sense of the word; and
WHEREAS, Motherhood can truly be called "the toughest job
you'll ever love," for it encompasses a tremendous range of
challenges, opportunities, frustrations, and joys, and the
ultimate rewards, intangible though they may be, are among life's
most meaningful and enduring; all mothers share a powerful bond in
the love they have for their children, and this love enriches our
world beyond measure; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby honor the mothers at San Juan Senior Center in El
Paso and extend to these treasured women warmest best wishes as we
recognize all mothers in Texas for El Dia de las Madres/Mother's
Day.
