Many Prayers to Pam and the Vtech Family

My customers have been talking all day about the situation...What a tragedy! My heart sank when I read the first posts about Pams son and I am so glad that he is okay. We all can relate to the love that we have for are family especially our children! My thoughts and prayers are with you!

I can't see to type through my tears.
There are no words other than all of us down here in Alabama are sending our love.
My gosh how we are lifting you up in prayer

My Husband contacted me to let me know that my son's friends Mother came down to the hospital to see him. (we had not told him of his friends passing yet) My husband allowed her at her request to tell him. ( I could barely understand my husband through the tears).

He tells me she said this to my son after she told him:

"Never waver, never give my son's killer the satisfaction of complete success, never question the Lord's actions, for he has a plan for everyone of us and he is always in control. When you are better, get out of this bed, go back to school and each and everytime you sit in that classroom, think about what my son would say to you if he could. (her son's favorite saying was "I got your back!"). He sees your tears, he feels your pain, frustration and anger, but he has you, he has your back... your brother loved you. (she had no other children and the two kids referred to themselves as brothers.)

With that said, my husband says the two of them just sat there as the tears rolled down thier faces for awhile and when it was time for her to leave, she stopped at the doorway and looked back at my son and said "you know he is somewhere up there laughing at you saying "com'on man, don't be no punk!" It put a quick smile on both of thier faces.

Pam,

I'm so glad that your son will be okay, and that your husband is with him. I can't imagine the strength of your son's friend's mother, or how it must feel to lose your only child. I hope you will stay in contact with her. I imagine it will be healing for her to hear from your son regularly, and/or feel a part of your family.

(((((Hugs)))))

Pam, So grateful your son made it through. Prayers will steadily flow your way.

My son will stay with her for awhile after a sort stay at home once he is out of the hospital. She invited and he says he wants to until things calm down a bit on the campus. She was a single Mom and a single child as well. One of her parents are still alive but very elderly (our sons used to go over and do yardwork for her Mom regulary). We will see to it that she is alright.

Continued thoughts from NJ - hope for strength for survivors like your boy, for families of those taken. It is a very sad time - hope knowing that so many are thinking of you all makes some difference, some comfort.

Pam,

You're going to make me cry. How wonderful that you and your son will be there for her. You know, they say we are put here for a purpose. Maybe this is part of your son's and your purpose.

"Never waver, never give my son's killer the satisfaction of complete success, never question the Lord's actions, for he has a plan for everyone of us and he is always in control.

It is amazing to me the strength and courage and compassion that rises up in people when faced with such a tragic, life altering event such as we have witnessed the last 36 hours. This mother, even after losing her only child still felt the need to comfort another.

Something we should all think very hard on, and remember for all of our days to come.

Pam, I'm so thankful your son is alright, and that your husband can be there with him through this.

May the Lord always hold you and your family in his arms, and carry your son home on Eagles wings. May He also bring peace to those families that have lost loved ones, in their search for answers.

Often we seek and never find, but from your heartfelt account of their meeting, I know in my heart, she already has.

Blessings on you and yours, and every family involved.

To Pam and family,
We will be thinking of you as your son recovers physically and finds inner emotional peace as well. We hope the messages you are receiving from so many floral friends are helping you cope with all you have been through yesterday and today. How life changes in just moments---

To everyone, this ordeal has taken a tremdous toll and your thoughts and prayers are more than appreciated. I feel extremely fortuante to have this avenue available to me. My strength in this has come from the many members here, my employees, family and friends world wide and my faith in God. I continue to work each day and stay focused.. it helps me alot. It helps my younger children also, keeping them in the routine allows thier lives not to be so badly affected by this thing.

Again, thank you so very much to all of them. I continue to pray with each of you for those lives that have been affected by this tragedy.

this is just bloody awful!!
You know, there have ALWAYS been "bad kids" but, we've allowed the "bad kids" to get worse, and NOT be accountable for their actions, and it's time for payback!!
There are NO EXCUSES, NONE, for this type of behaviour, ZERO, and NOBODY has the right to defend/stand up, back up these types of people, kids or not, with such low belief in human life.
I'm sorry to be so blunt...those that commit such crimes NEED to be put to death...you may argue that it's immoral, and "solving" death(s) with MORE deaths, is NOT the way, BUT, it's time!!
Berate me all you want.....it's time!!
You KILL someone...YOU DIE!!, YOU kill one of MY FAMILY, I will track YOU DOWN, and YOU WILL DIE, and I WILL BE GUILTY of KILLING YOU!!
Only God, or a higher power than ours, will do the true judgment!!
Personally, I pray every day, that a family doesn't have to face this...every day, I'm proven that my prayers are wasted

Mike, never is a true prayer wasted! We can not assume to know the reasons, but I do know this, those who ask....receive.

It may not be in a way we know, a way we realize at the time, but when the time is right, all will be made clear to the Righteous.

Since he respects our freedom of choice and free will prayer enables him to step into our lives. God has limited his powers in our lives to the importance that we place on prayer. Prayer gives God the permission to do what he has been longing to do all the time. Even when we do not see anything significant occurring, God is still at work solving the problem. When there are apparently no answers, God is still is waiting for the proper time to give us the solution.

Pam, you are a blessing to all of us as you share your most tender moments and thoughts with us. We appreciate you and your family.

My constant prayer is for wisdom to take me through the paths I trod during my lifetime. Then I need to supply the courage to use the wisdom I asked for. I have to choose with the faith that I will never be alone along the way.

Your son, you and your husband already have enhanced the lives of others and can be a blessing to those you meet on the pathway of life.

I cannot believe that God let's things like this happen for a purpose, but I do believe strongly that from this horrible event that some wonderful things will happen. It sounds like your son will have the opportunity to show a purpose for his pathway through life.

Tom, I'm sorry, I do NOT believe in your enthusiastic portrayal of better things will come as a result!!
For Pam......our greatest anxieties lay at your feet, and those of your family, and may the world soon rid itself of the pestilence that arbitrates the love of life, and destroys the fabric of family, with such ruthless abandon!!
I'm sorry if you think I've crossed major lines here, obviously, some great and wonderful people here, and everywhere STILL BELIEVE, however, I for one, think it's time to take these monsters OUT, for good!!

 

[specialoccasion]

For Mikey-

I respect your choice.

But don't understand how your thoughts of taking another life will satisfy and justisfy the original immoral act committed.

If your telling me it is wrong for a person to take anothers life of thier own free will, would you not being doing the same?

My friend... in my opinion destroying another life, along with your own isn't the solution. The result only ends up being an additional life being lost that might have done a lot of good for someone going forward (yours).

We live in a country where it is far too easy to purchase a gun. I'm suprised they are not in vending machines. When a similar incident occured several years ago in Australia, they really cracked down on access to gun purchase. When it happens in the US, we just sell more guns.
Why?
