WHEREAS, Around the world, people have set aside a day each |
|
|
year to honor 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 8, 2011, Texans and all Americans will join in |
|
|
celebrating 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 persevere and |
|
|
follow their dreams; 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 role, 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 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate Mother's Day 2011, honor all |
|
|
mothers, including the members of this chamber who are moms, and pay |
|
|
tribute to those mothers who have passed on but endure in the |
|
|
memories of their loved ones. |
