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.
