Senate Resolution No. 552

BY: Senator BAILEY

 LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION celebrating Mother's Day on
 May 11, 2025

 WHEREAS, From time to time this Legislative Body takes note of
certain extraordinary individuals it wishes to recognize for their
valued contributions to the success and progress of society and publicly
acknowledge their endeavors which have enhanced the basic humanity among
us all; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to join
with the special women in their lives to celebrate Mother's Day on
Sunday, May 11, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, In the early 1900s, Anna Jarvis started a massive letter
writing campaign to newspapers and prominent politicians urging the
adoption of a special day honoring motherhood; and

 WHEREAS, Within six years of its inception, Mother's Day was
declared an official holiday by President Woodrow Wilson on May 9, 1914,
asking Americans to give a public expression of reverence to mothers,
thanking them for the many sacrifices they make for their children; and

 WHEREAS, Today, over a century later, Mother's Day remains the one
day out of the year to praise and pay tribute to mothers, and all other
women who have taken on that role and acted as a mother figure in the
children's lives, including those being raised in a single parent home,
whether it be an aunt, stepmother, grandmother, friend or big sister;
and

 WHEREAS, These outstanding women show great strength and
selflessness, as well as spend countless hours offering their love,
support and guidance to the children in their lives, acting as role
models and inspiring them to develop to their fullest potential; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to pay tribute and commend
all mothers and mother figures who are worthy of full recognition for
their valued contributions and who should be celebrated by all the
citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
celebrate Mother's Day on May 11, 2025.
