|
WHEREAS, For more than a century, a day has been set aside |
|
|
each year to honor those very special women among us, the mothers |
|
|
who brought us into this world, protected us, and taught us how to |
|
|
make our way, and on May 14, 2023, Texans and indeed all Americans |
|
|
will join in celebrating Mother's Day in the United States; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, It is fitting that Mother's Day should be observed |
|
|
in the spring, when we see evidence of nature's renewal all around |
|
|
us; mothers give life, and they give unconditional love, |
|
|
encouraging their sons and daughters to work hard and to follow |
|
|
their dreams; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On this meaningful day, we pay tribute to mothers |
|
|
for their determination to give their children the keys to a bright |
|
|
and promising future; resourceful and fearless in looking out for |
|
|
their loved ones of all ages, they are heroes in every sense of the |
|
|
word; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Motherhood has been 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 poignant and |
|
|
enduring; all mothers share a powerful bond in the love they have |
|
|
for their children, and that love, strong and true, enriches our |
|
|
world beyond measure; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate Mother's Day 2023, honor all |
|
|
mothers, including the members of this chamber who are moms, and pay |
|
|
tribute to the mothers who have passed on but endure in the memories |
|
|
of all those who held them dear. |
