"I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what
you have made of yourself,
but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me
that you bring out."
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
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~
