Hello again my darling Hayden

I haven’t been writing on regular bases, so many things happened in the mean time.I tried with all my mite to get our family to interact and to have some degree of functionality.

I think that to some degree I have achieved that but it’s not as I would have hoped for my little man.
One day you will know what I meant by this.

Every day I still wake up with you on my mind and what you are doing and how you are coping with so many changes in your life.

I pray to God every day and every moment that he will watch over you and protect you and shelter you from any damage or any confusion that you may experience in your little life as you are growing up and learn about this big new world you are in.

My darling you came over this weekend and grandad and I just enjoyed you so much, you plaid so beautifully and did a grandad dance with grandad and he just loved it so much as he loves you so much also.

You stayd the night (30/10/2010) and we got up early in the morning, had breakfast and took you for a drive because you rely love granddads big car, you can see everything as you are sitting in the middle and up high in your baby sit, I always sit in the back with you also and we talk all the way, well we talk baby talk and sing baby songs.

Then We went to bunnings and there I took you to a playground and you loved it coz you got to go on a big children’s slide and all the bigger children tied to make friends with you and talk to you but they didn’t realise that you are still a baby( ha ha ).

The times grandad and I have with you are so special and every moment counts as every moment with you is treasured and pressures, every time you say a new word or do a new thing it is so important to us and we love to see it. Grandad and I have special language that we talk to each other when we talk about you and its one with such fun and cute ways and so much loving and in our conversation we say gwany to each other as if you are saying it.

I LOVE YOU my grandson my HAYDEN LEE with all my heart. I love your beautiful eyes and your sideways cheeky smile when you smile at me. I love your little legs that pip from underneath the long shorts you mother puts you in.

I know it will be a long time until you can read this or even understand what I am telling you but I know one day you will.

Darling please always remember this; resist negative thinking, which includes jealousy, hate and discontent, they just make you restless and unhappy and contribute to a cycle of unhappiness around you. Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures. So consider all the pathways ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going, most important of all: never give up on yourself. The person that ends up a winner is the one who resolves to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you.

It seems like another life when I read stories to your mother and her younger sister and sing them lullabies. I can’t wait to read you stories and sing bedtime songs to you. We’ll sing, read, paint and go to the park. At the park, we’ll run around and go on slides and take walks, that we already do but only short ones as you are only 15 months old and you get so tied fast. And when we return home, tired, I will serve your favorite delicacies. Right now I don’t know which ones but I will find out soon enough.

My grandson my Hayden Lee you have brought such miracle thing in my life and your granddads that we never knew that another child can bring apart from your mother and your unties. Baby boy our joy our miracle.

My cherished grandson I will try to write as often as I can and I hope that my letters and notes will not somehow be lost and you never read any of my words to you.

I love you my grandson my Hayden Lee forever.

You grandma.

Dear Hayden

My grandson Hayden


Words cannot explain, my love for you my baby my Hayden Lee

You have brought joy to my life that I have only had when your mother and your unties were babies,

All over again I feel alive when I am with you and I love to share playtimes and silly moments with you, just to see your face that lets me know you had fun.

I love when you repeat what I say and you laugh at clown things that I do when I am with you, I love you my grandson my Hayden lee.

I am so grateful that I was able to be at your first birthday and see you enjoy your toys.

I pray my darling that all your days will be filed with God’s blessings and happiness, smiles and comfort my baby boy.

Hayden you have a face of an angel, you will be a strong yet a kind and gentle man when you grow up, I know because I can see it in you my little love, and you will be a blessing to your parents and bring joy to my heart.

To have a child from a child you adore is a gift from God and the ultimate blessing.

Hayden one day you will read this and you will know how much your grandmother loves you, not that you don’t already know but you will know it on a deeper level.

I pray that your day while I am away and cannot see you, that you eat well, sleep well, play well and you have happiness in your heart.

I love you my baby my Hayden lee

Your grandma

Letter to Hayden

My Darling Hayden

I am writing this so you will always know how much I loved you , when you grow up I want you to know that your grandmother would have spend every moment with you plying and laughing , and watch you grow.

My darling all I wanted is to be behind your parents not in front of them and just see you grow up you are so special to me.

My grandson I hope that whatever is good in this world will come your way and you will be a blest young man with health happiness and good fortune you are the extension of your beautiful mother that I also so adored and felt the same for her, I thank God for you my grandson, but I grieve to know that you will not experience this closeness with me and grandad.


Darling I don’t care if the hall world knows how I feel, you are our grandson the first one the Joy of all grandparents.

"One day, I want you to know how much I loved you". And this is what it's about. We just want to leave that legacy behind, you know, that is our legacy to say, "We loved you, we always loved you, we will never give up on wanting to show you what extended families are, like grandparents.

As I am writing this my grandson I have tears in my eyes and look at your sweet face in the photograph my arms long to hold you and I long to again sing to you and put you to sleep as you gaze in my eyes like you study everything I say to you, greater joy than that I don’t know apart from the one I had for your mother and your unties when they were little.

Don’t ever get influenced by people that are around you. to think we were not there and that we didn’t love you my grandson we grieved and ached for you as we ache for your mother.

When you grow up and if we are still around we will look you up and you can come of your own free will to us and we can start a new relationship no mater were you are in the world. Just make every effort to do this please Hayden.

My baby boy my grandson I want to ask God through my letters that he today will bless you and keep you in his safe arms and that you will learn something special today , may you feel God’s presence and peace on you and all extended love from us through the power of God that can make you know that and feel that.

I love you my grandson my Hayden lee forever.

You’re Granma
