My newer pals are always kind of amazed that I have such a large group of friends, especially from back home in West Virginia. I attribute that to a few thing: many of us come from Irish and Scottish stock, so we tend to be a wee bit clannish. We also check in on each other and get together quite regularly. There are the occasional squabbles but when trouble comes knocking, we have each other's backs all the way. It's a beautiful thing. When somebody moves, we are there to pack up and tape up boxes. when somebody is sick, we are there with homemade soup and a listening ear. To me, friendship is one of the most important things in the world and it is not just a phenomenon that takes place on social media.
