Excerpt of document:
A mother's love, while demonstrated daily in acts of tenderness and
generosity, is always a source of wonder. Who can fathom the quiet
thoughts of one who keeps in her heart a constant vigil over the child
she has carried in her womb, rocked in her arms, and watched grow,
with eyes full of worry, joy, and pride? Her devotion never fails to fill
us with gratitude and awe.
Today, we honor all those women who, by virtue of giving birth, or
through adoption or marriage, are mothers. Each of us should let our
mother know that she is ever close in our hearts, and that her many
gifts to us are cherished and remembered[OCRerr]not only on Mother's Day, but
throughout the year.
In recognition of the contributions of all mothers to their families and
to the Nation, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved May 8,1914
(38 Stat. 770), has designated the second Sunday in May each year
as Mother's Day and requested the President to call for its appropriate
observance.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day
of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-nine, and
of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred
and thirteenth.
