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~

General note
Just as a general note, you should eliminate any thought that there is an expectation that you do anything by any age. You don't have to be married with kids by 25. It's ok to be 16 and never been kissed. There's nothing wrong with you if you haven't graduated from college by 22. You're not a failure because you don't have your dream job at 30. There are no rules to life. You don't get special points for achieving certain things by a deadline. Just go at your own speed. It's not a race.
