I started this blog soon after the death of my beautiful 17-year-old son, Hayden, as a way to deal with my grief. I titled it "Dear Hayden" because at first I wrote as if I was writing to him. My use of the word "dear" ended up being twofold: "used as an affectionate or friendly form of address" and "regarded with deep affection; cherished by someone." Many posts are saved quotes, song lyrics, Bible verses, poems, etc. with credit given to the actual authors as much as possible. Enjoy~

Friendships
In our lives we experience many different kinds of friendships. On the rare occasion we encounter someone so special that we just know that we met for a reason. These are the kinds of friendships that last forever no matter what city you live in or how often you speak, no matter how old you get or what phase of life you are in. It's the type of friendship that has no judgment and sticks by you even when you screw up. It's the kind of friendship that makes you understand unconditional love. Maybe you met your most special friend when you were 6, or 13, or 30...or maybe you are yet to cross paths. It happens at different stages for different people. But when it does, there is no greater comfort than knowing that this person will be right there beside you to share the happiness, the sadness and everything in between - Never, ever take these friendships for granted.
