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 Valorie Garza and extend to her warmest 
best wishes as we recognize all mothers in Texas for El Dia de las 
Madres/Mother's Day.
