Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay special tribute to all the mothers who will be celebrated by their families on Sunday. Is there anything more beautiful, anything greater than giving life?
We take one day each year to recognize all they do for us and how they are always there for us, day in and day out, through joys and challenges.
Caring, warm-hearted women, protective and welcoming souls filled with good intentions, mothers know how to offer warmth and comfort and make each moment a happy memory.
A mother is often the only one who can find the right words to soothe a wounded heart.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank my mother, Rita, who is 89 now, for her positive influence on my life and her steadfast devotion. She is a very wise woman.
To conclude, I would invite each and every person to find a special way to say, “I love you, Mom.”
