When I first met her
Alison had many friends. When she moved
into my house to live with me the majority of her friends turned their backs on
her. Only a handful of her white
girlfriends remained loyal. Even they
broke away when they married a white husband who forbade them to come visit
with Alison. It didn’t take me long to
discover that High River society was no more welcoming to inter-racial couples
than Salt River had been.
Yes, my feelings were hurt but that was something to
which I had already grown accustomed.
Mostly it was Alison who once again was disappointed. People she thought were her friends simply
never phoned or visited anymore. Alison
depended on me more than ever for companionship. I was her best friend. It was the least I could be.
