Dear Hayden,
When I created you I couldn't even fathom that together we would come this far. Never imagined that you'd become someone I'd respect and look up to. Once in a while, when things are tough, all it takes are the thoughts about how you've crossed several hurdles with your determination to pull me through. Writing about you bucks me back to being normal and cheerful. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY IMAGINARY SON. No matter how much I play with you, tease you and throw challenges ahead of you, I want you to know that I love you and you make me proud as a writer!
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have friends from all over the world. Thank you for existing and for giving me the opportunity to feel such all-encompassing love!
