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~

The fire
"I shall write it in my diary to-night."
"What?"
"That a burnt child loves the fire."
~The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde
"When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives."
