H.R. No. 1687
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The observance of Father's Day on June 19, 2022,
provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on the essence of what it
means to be a father; and
WHEREAS, Today, we salute the men who devote themselves to
the well-being of their sons and daughters and who, in the process,
teach their children through their own actions, guidance,
forgiveness, compassion, and affection; and
WHEREAS, The first and most important decision a father makes
is the conscious choice to fulfill the multifaceted
responsibilities of his vital role in the family; he must both
nurture and discipline his children, provide for them, and also
serve as their teacher; above all, he strives to instill in his
children faith, enduring values, and a sure sense of right and
wrong; and
WHEREAS, A century ago, fathers worked at or near their
homes, and children passed a good deal of time in their company,
learning by example an appreciation for the rewards of hard work and
benefiting by their daily wisdom; currently, many parents are
employed some distance away from their homes, making it crucial for
fathers to reflect carefully on the precious hours they have to
devote to the upbringing of their children and on how they may best
help them flourish and become happy, productive citizens; and
WHEREAS, Being a father means accepting the solemn duty of
molding and shaping the next generation, and on Father's Day, we
honor those who have stepped forward and taken up this challenging
yet rewarding responsibility; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Father's Day 2022 and honor the
caring men who have dedicated their lives to building strong
families and a bright future for those who follow in their
footsteps.
