My hometown is a place that brings me comfort. It is a town of approx. 700. It is a place where everyone knows everyone and probably their secrets, too.
My parents moved to this little town when I was 3 years old. We came from a large city. This was probably quite a shock to them when they first came. I don’t even remember living in the city, so this little town is all I know.
I attended school here from kindergarten to senior year here in this little town. I met my husband and got married in this little town. I had my children and now they attending school in this little town. I know the parents to all of my children’s friends because I probably went to school with them myself.
I love the sunset over hay fields and sitting at the local gas station eating an ice cream cone. I know almost everyone in the grocery store when I go and we are true fans of the high school team. I have been on every back road and swam in the local rivers and streams. I have wonderful fond memories of this little town and it is close to my heart.
My hometown.
When I read it, I could feel how much you love your hometown and how loyal you are to it. I lived in a tiny town for awhile and I know how lonely it can get but also how everyone sticks together and helps each other out. I felt like you were speaking from your heart and that, that was your intention.
