Loundah: But he was a Perfect Gentleman in Bloomington, MN

She was not going to let emotion take away what she hope to gain... That aptly describes Loundah."From the stories, she told me, and other details I was able to piece together, she was forced into an early childhood marriage to a man, my father- who already had two other wives. Things could not work out very well between them and she walked out on him. Unfortunately, she was already pregnant. The child that was born happened to be me.I don't want you to follow this line of the story. I am not going to talk about my mother. I am telling you about myself: Loundah.""My mother had a cat in our house when I was a child. The cat has this uncanny way of staring at you when you are eating and have not given it a portion. That was the way I was staring at Timi as he purred out his human life's lesson to me. Life, they say is a teacher, I'm learning mine here sitting with my friend's boyfriend in his room."
