89(R) HR 7 - Enrolled version - Bill Text
H.R. No. 7
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Mother's Day is among the most cherished
celebrations in Mexican culture, and many Texans of Mexican descent
are observing El Día de las Madres on May 10, 2025; and
WHEREAS, Inspired by their neighbors to the north, Mexicans
began observing a Mother's Day holiday in the early part of the 20th
century; the celebrations of Mother's Day in Mexico and in the
United States bear many similarities, with children often
presenting their mothers with gifts of candy, cards, or flowers and
treating them to a special lunch or dinner; and
WHEREAS, In some Mexican cities, it is customary for children
to begin the day by serenading their mothers at their bedside, and
some even engage mariachi bands to accompany them; many families go
on to attend a special mass and community breakfast; regardless of
the traditions that families embrace, the greatest gift of all is
the precious time spent with loved ones; and
WHEREAS, The bond of affection shared between mother and
child is eternal, and Mother's Day offers a welcome opportunity for
all to express gratitude to their mothers for the unconditional
love, support, and wisdom that they have given them throughout
their lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate Mexican Mother's Day on May 10,
2025, and extend warmest best wishes to the Texas families who are
taking part in this treasured occasion.
