The Heart of a Mother | Katy Moms

Is there anyone on this earth tougher than a mother? You ask most people who has their back most in this world, bet they’d say their mom. No one can love like a mama. It’s an unconditional, unexplainable, unbreakable love that only a mother can explain. It’s that love that keeps us going, day in and day out, through the highs and lows, through the trials and tribulations, through the good and the bad. It’s what drives us and what gives us that innate ability to provide for and protect that child, no matter what. Most moms would say the same thing: I would do anything for my child.
