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. |
