SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 950
|
|
|
WHEREAS, On March 31, 2017, at 6:38 p.m., the prayers of |
|
|
Jeff Hassay and Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer, as well as those of their |
|
|
family and friends, were answered with the birth of a healthy |
|
|
baby girl, Zooey Maybellene Sophia Lehrer-Hassay; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Calling to mind the Dr. Seuss quote, "A person's a |
|
|
person, no matter how small," Zooey weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces, |
|
|
and measured 21-1/2 inches in length when she made her |
|
|
long-awaited arrival; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Zooey's birth has brought great happiness not only |
|
|
to her parents but to her grandparents, Andrew and Nancy Hassay |
|
|
and Jonathan and Shelah Lehrer-Graiwer, and to her many aunts, |
|
|
uncles, and other relatives; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Both Jeff and Sarah are avid readers, so it is |
|
|
only fitting to share the following parenting advice, frequently |
|
|
attributed to Albert Einstein: "If you want your children to be |
|
|
intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more |
|
|
intelligent, read them more fairy tales"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, It is also wise to remember that, as J. D. Salinger |
|
|
famously said, "A child is a guest in the house, to be loved and |
|
|
respected--never possessed, since he belongs to God"; moreover, |
|
|
as Mark Twain wrote, we should "note that venerable proverb: |
|
|
Children and fools always speak the truth. The deduction is |
|
|
plain--adults and wise persons never speak it"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Zooey Lehrer-Hassay has already won the hearts of |
|
|
all who have met her, and it is truly a pleasure to welcome this |
|
|
fine young lady as an honorary Texan; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate Jeff Hassay and Sarah |
|
|
Lehrer-Graiwer on the birth of their daughter and extend to Zooey |
|
|
Maybellene Sophia Lehrer-Hassay warmest best wishes for a bright |
|
|
and promising future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the family as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
