Dear Hayden

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~

Welcome Home

We went to Pastor Saxe's memorial service on Saturday. All of his sons spoke. His son, David, quoted some of the words of this song.

Welcome Home

by Michael W. Smith

I can't believe that we're having to say goodbye

And I can barely see you through these tears I cry

I close my eyes

I can hear the sound

As angels gather 'round

Saying this is where you belong

Welcome home

Theses are the days that my heart aches wishing you were here

But I know where you are the hurt and the pain disappear

There's no more tears

What a lovely sound

Angels all around

Saying this is where you belong

Welcome home

Dear Hayden
