Florence

Florence was my beautiful mother ,whom I miss everyday of my life.She was my best friend,my confidante,my mom, my everything!She taught me to how togrow up and respect people,espescially my elders!She loved and adored her family.In Winston-Salem N.C..we use to go into the restaurants and then into movies every weekend,she worked as a domestic in whitepeoples homes,but she was a very proud "Negro Woman",my father was bi-racial as this America determines the labeling of people of color.Evenually I became grown and started to have children and she taught me how to take care of each and everyone of my babies,it was not my husband who taught me about our children, it was my MOM,whom I will love forever and ever and ever.Love you MOM,where ever yoursoull resides in the Universe!!She had so much LOVE and we were poor,but she kept food and clothes on my back regardless of her circumstances!It was hard for a "Negrowoman"back in the day!But the were very,very strong Women of color,I salute them and give them the highest AWARD of being a caring human Mother!
