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~

Begging you
Always remember while she's begging you to do right, there's a man out there begging her to let him try.
So loyal
Never thought I would quote Cardi B...
When Cardi B said, "I gave you more than I gave myself. So loyal to you that I betrayed myself." I felt that.

Don't have to fight
I realized I don't have to fight for a place in people's lives. If someone values me, they will keep a place in their heart for me.
Sleeping
Sleeping next to someone you love makes you fall asleep faster, reduces depression and helps you live longer.
Sometimes it's better
Sometimes it's better to just let things be, let people go, don't fight for closure, don't ask for explanations, don't chase answers and don't expect people to understand where you're coming from.
I hope
I hope you find someone who doesn't make you sad at night, someone who reminds you how much they love you every day, who laughs at your jokes and wants to listen to your music and genuinely wants to be with you and doesn't make you second guess their love for you.
