On September 1st, an amazing woman known to me as "Mama Flo" left this temporary life to take up full possession of her eternal one. Mama Flo or Forestine Thompson was my step-mother, but coincidentally she took the "step" out of our relationship by embracing me just as much as her own biological kids. There are some people that you call family in life just based off of your blood type and there are others who become your family because you have the same DNA in your soul. That's the best way I can describe my relationship with this wonderful woman. Flo was tough, loving, witty, kind, giving, unselfish, strong, confident, and a fighter. She whooped me up every now and then to let me know who was the boss. But she also cooked for me, told me she loved me often, and would be ready to help me in any way I needed if I asked. I just wish I would have taken more advantage of all she was in my life. There will never be another mama Flo, but she is etched on my heart forever and the way she impacted my life will never be forgotten.
