I think of this often, and am afraid it's a little weird, but I think you would be or are okay with how your story ended here on earth. It's a tragic ending, but impactful, dramatic, etc.-everything that makes for a good film plot.
I know you would've liked to have stayed here with your friends and us and muddled through this life together, but I have always had a sense that all is well with you. I remember asking you once why someone always died in your short films. You never really had an answer, but it does make the story more interesting. You never have to get fat (even though that's hard to imagine) or old or go through any struggles anymore. Even though you were taught to "Love the Struggle"! God had bigger things in mind for you and it sounds like you are doing them from what everyone says when you visit them in their dreams.
Last night, Coach Katie honored you at the girls' water polo game by reading something about you and having a moment of silence before the first game. It was very nice. The team all had Hayden shirts on (like the ones Katie made right after your accident-the blue with "Saline Water Polo" on the front and your number and #haydenstrongforever on the back). I will have to record what she said-it's written in the program. I do remember the ending, though-she said, "Now let's all the play the game he loved." Miss and love you boy!
