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~

Can't live without
Love is not finding someone to live with. It's finding someone you can't live without.
Absolute best
At your absolute best, you still won't be good enough for the wrong person. At you worst, you'll still be worth it to the right person.
On this road
On this road called Life...
You have to take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you've got, and always remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes. People change. Things go wrong. But just remember, the ride goes on.

Walking Away a Winner
by Kathy Mattea
Many times love is on the table the stakes are high
What I thought this was love so I laid it all on the line
You nearly took everything I had
Never knew I could hurt so bad
But at least I left with every piece of this heart of mine
I'm walking away a winner
I'm walking away from a losing game
With my pride intact and my vision back I can say
I know where I'm going and I know I'll be alright
I'm walking away a winner
Walking back into my life
It was a hard way to go when I didn't know when to leave
If you knew all along baby you weren't telling me
Now I know I could live or die
I'm heading down the right road now
Still believing in a way
That a real love is meant to be
I'm walking away a winner
I'm walking away from a losing game
With my pride intact and my vision back I can say
I know where I'm going and I know I'll be alright
I'm walking away a winner
Walking back into my life
Walking back into my life
Walking away a winner
Walking back into my life
Walking away a winner
Impossible
Today's Bible Gateway Verse of the Day
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
