WHEREAS, Walker Yates of Frisco is marking a special |
|
|
milestone in his life on August 18, 2013, when he celebrates his |
|
|
very first birthday; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The adorable son of Jeff and Stephanie Yates, Walker |
|
|
was born prematurely at just 28 weeks and faced serious |
|
|
complications; fortunate to receive the care of a skilled medical |
|
|
team at Presbyterian Hospital of Plano, Walker and his mother were |
|
|
also supported by a devoted circle of family, friends, coworkers, |
|
|
and clergy, who offered heartfelt prayers for their strength and |
|
|
survival; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After 74 days in the neonatal intensive care unit, |
|
|
Walker was released from the hospital, beginning an exciting new |
|
|
chapter for the Yates family; Walker has since experienced |
|
|
remarkable growth and change, and watching him discover the many |
|
|
wonders around him has become a favorite pastime of his loved ones; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While the birth of a child is always a miraculous |
|
|
event, Walker's early arrival and precarious first weeks made his |
|
|
journey especially extraordinary, and it is indeed a pleasure to |
|
|
honor him on this joyous occasion; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Walker Yates |
|
|
on his first birthday and extend to him sincere best wishes for a |
|
|
bright and promising future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Yates family as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
