The Heart of a Small Town

I think it is important that I take the time to mention what my favorite thing about small town life is, and that is the people.  The perfect example came through on the 4th of July, and I’m sure every small tight-knit community has a story similar to this one.  This post is not meant for bragging about my hometown, but another small community close to us.  Last November a young member of that town passed away, and at that time it was easy to see by posts made on Facebook  and Twitter how much the community was like a family and came together in times of sorrow.  Several months later, they were still remembering this young man with a fireworks show to pay tribute to him.  When I pulled up with my friends, I could not believe the amount of people that had come out to remember this young man.  And that’s just it, in a small town every member of that community is there for you in good times and bad, and not just for a day, but every day of your life. It’s during times like these that I am so thankful to be raised in such a community where friends are more than just friends, but where they are also a part of your family.
