| 1 | SENATE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, On Mother's Day, we traditionally honor the | ||||||
| 3 | grace, wisdom, and strength of our mothers, and we celebrate | ||||||
| 4 | the special bonds shared between mothers and their children; | ||||||
| 5 | and
| ||||||
| 6 | WHEREAS, Mothers work tirelessly to help their children | ||||||
| 7 | build healthy and successful lives; through their positive | ||||||
| 8 | examples and countless acts of kindness, mothers teach the | ||||||
| 9 | values of generosity and compassion and the importance of | ||||||
| 10 | family and community; and
| ||||||
| 11 | WHEREAS, By providing a nurturing environment where their | ||||||
| 12 | children can grow in confidence and character, mothers lay the | ||||||
| 13 | foundation for the next generation to realize their full | ||||||
| 14 | potential; and
| ||||||
| 15 | WHEREAS, Our State is grateful for the sacrifices mothers | ||||||
| 16 | make every day and for the unconditional love they give their | ||||||
| 17 | children; and
| ||||||
| 18 | WHEREAS, We are especially thankful for the mothers who | ||||||
| 19 | support their sons and daughters serving in our Armed Forces | ||||||
| 20 | and for the mothers who bring honor to the uniform of the | ||||||
| 21 | United States by defending our freedom at home and abroad; and
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | WHEREAS, Every child who experiences a mother's love has | ||||||
| 2 | been given one of life's great gifts; mothers have made | ||||||
| 3 | extraordinary contributions to their children, their families, | ||||||
| 4 | and our State; and
| ||||||
| 5 | WHEREAS, To honor mothers, Congress, by a joint resolution | ||||||
| 6 | approved May 8, 1914, as amended (38 Stat. 770), has | ||||||
| 7 | designated the second Sunday in May each year as "Mother's | ||||||
| 8 | Day"; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 9 | RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDRED THIRD GENERAL | ||||||
| 10 | ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we recognize Mother's | ||||||
| 11 | Day and all of the contributions Illinois mothers have made | ||||||
| 12 | and continue to make; and be it further
| ||||||
| 13 | RESOLVED, That we encourage all Illinoisans to show their | ||||||
| 14 | gratitude and love to mothers for making a difference in the | ||||||
| 15 | lives of their children, families, and communities and to | ||||||
| 16 | observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and | ||||||
| 17 | activities.
