I grew up in a small town, and I mean a really small town. Everyone knows everybody and their business too. There are perks though to the small town living. By knowing everybody, you are most likely to interact with someone at a point in your life. Also, in time of crisis, everyone pulls together and becomes a family. When there is loss in a small town, there is a great support system. Everyone seems to come together to mourn and remember someone who was well known. This, I think, is a great thing about being in a small town. You know you can count on a neighbor or old friend to be there for you. It's crazy. As humans, we take a loss of anyone to heart. If you think about it, we become sad over the loss of celebrities because they are, in a way, a part of our lives. I think it's normal to feel saddened by the loss of someone; maybe it's because people you know are hurting, or it's because death itself is just a tragic thing. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the recent loss of my small town. I may not have know him too well, but he was a part of the town and obviously loved by many. May love, strength, and peace come to those who need it.
