The Heart of a Mother | Maya Butalid

Description

Never judge the heart of a mother.
It stubbornly follows its own way.

I once had a colleague, a Moroccan woman. Let me call her here Soumia. She had a daughter and a son; both were young adults, and both were born in the Netherlands. When we were still colleagues, her son was arrested by the Dutch police, he was charged with terrorism. Her grief was enormous. But despite that, I saw her dedication to her son, giving him all the support he needed, doing this as a single, working mother.

How big and strong her heart must be. This was when I started to become fascinated with the heart of a mother. I wanted to collect stories of mothers, stories revealing their heart, so I may share these with other mothers and their children out there. So that mothers will find support and reassurance from each other, so that their children will recognize the greatness of their mother’s love for them.

This book is my gift to each and every mother.
