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.
