89(R) HR 1112 - Enrolled version - Bill Text
H.R. No. 1112
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, On May 11, 2025, sons and daughters across Texas and
the nation are joining in honoring the women who raised them and in
celebrating the fundamental and enduring institution of
motherhood; the Texas House of Representatives is commemorating the
occasion while in session, which provides a special opportunity to
recognize the significance of Mother's Day; and
WHEREAS, Motherhood is a calling marked by devotion,
resilience, sacrifice, and unconditional love, and it is through
the tireless efforts of mothers that generations of Texans have
been nurtured, guided, and empowered to lead lives of purpose and
service; and
WHEREAS, The annual commemoration of Mother's Day took root
in the years before the Civil War, and by 1912, many states,
communities, and churches across the country had begun to celebrate
the observance; President Woodrow Wilson created the national
holiday in 1914 by officially designating the second Sunday in May
as a "public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of
our country"; and
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives proudly
acknowledges the mothers among us--our colleagues who serve as
elected members of this legislative body and the dedicated staff
members whose tireless work sustains the operations of this
institution, all while fulfilling their responsibilities as
mothers; the Texas House also recognizes the mothers of the
legislators and staff, whose love and support have helped shape
those who serve the Lone Star State today; and
WHEREAS, Mothers play an indispensable role in the fabric of
our families, communities, and the great State of Texas, and it is
altogether fitting that the Texas House of Representatives pause to
honor and celebrate their profound contributions on this special
occasion; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby honor all mothers in Texas and beyond on the
occasion of Mother's Day 2025; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That special recognition and appreciation be
extended to the mothers who are unable to be with their loved ones
on this day because of the vital work of the legislature; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
presented as a gift and tribute to mothers in gratitude of their
enduring love and sacrifice.
Wilson
