Hi,
I am new here also. I just wanted to day, As a MOTHER, that you can never give up on your children. I have lost my 15 year old sister in 1985 to a murderer, she was 15 years old. Now in 2003 my youngest son was also murdered. He was 17. My signature at the bottom has the 2 web sites listed for lighting a candle or leaving a tribute. I know the loss all too well. I have one more son, he is 23 now, and I am a very proud grandmother to a 14 month old baby boy. They named him after my son. Some times the road ahead seems too rough to go on, but we always manage. My oldest son was in jail for a little while. That was a killer, I cried so much for them both, I thought I couldn't cry anymore. But thank the Lord he is always there with a hand when you need him the most. If it weren't for my precious mother, I don't think I could have made it through any of it. Her losing her youngest, then me losing mine at the hands of another, Her experience helped me along with my belief that we will be together again. I will keep you and all the mothers out there who have lost a child or have one in prison in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all! Never give up hope! Sometimes it is all we have!

Dear Dottie
I am so sorry about the loss of your precious angel Matt. I visited your websites and I have to tell you that I cried. I cannot imagine the loss and pain you must feel. Thank you for thinking of our lost angels. May G-D bless you and comfort you always. Matt reminds me of my son Jake. Jake will be 19 in Dec. He is such a wonderful son. I have three sons and 1 daughter. It is my third child (Danny) who is in prison. All my children are my heart. I also have a grandson. He is almost 5 years old. He is the son of my oldest son. He is so precious to me. I love being a grandma.
Please take gentle care of yourself
Judy

Thank you Judy,
The loss of a son going to prison is almost as bad. You get "labeled" as a bad mother, ect...ect...I know I was labled like that when my son died. I was accused of not being there for him, ect... I know it wasn't my fault. The other boys mom who got them drunk and then didn't watch them that is at fault. There should have never been a gun there in the first place. My son had to pay the price. He had told me months before that he wanted to be an organ donor if anything ever happened. So that is what I did. He helped to keep many other families together. one of them was a very bad diabetic, and his kidneys had shut down. He now lives a very productive life...no diabetes's at all. He is doing so well that they don't even need to see him but once a year for a check up. The liver recipient is a woman that is a Christian, with 3 children and 9 grandchildren. The other recipients haven't ever contacted me. The organ donation facility tells me they are doing great. One of his lungs is out there, his heart, and his other kidney. They were able to use the bone marrow out of his legs for a few children. It helps to know that he is living on. My oldest is out of jail now, but we won't find out till the 17th of November if it will stay that way or not. Thank you so much for visiting his web sites. I love it when people light candles, or leave tributes with nice graphics in them. It lets me know he is not forgotten.

Thank you Lynn,
It is so hard sometimes. I just want God to end it all, end the pain and the grief. Take me home and let me rest. It is so hard to be here and not have my youngest son, and to have my oldest going through all the pain he is going through because of his ex. Now they won't even let me see my grandson. That hurts just as much as losing a child all over again. I thank you for your thoughts and kindness.

It is such a sad world to be in today.

Than k you again.

I like to move this thread from the second to the first page to tell all you heavy-hearted mothers that your children are not forgotten. I still keep lighting candles in the group LAM.

To all who have posted here. I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me and the other moms who come to light a candle or just read what has been written. It lightens our load a little. It is very hard this time of year with our children behind bars. We are of all faiths and the holiday season is so hard on us. Our kids are not here to share it with us. It hurts.
May G-D bless all of you for your prayers
Love
Judy LAM

It's very hard to leave your loved one after a visit. My whole family prayers for his release; moving him closer to home; his health. Jason has always been a child who liked to live on the edge. He now has reality; Jason is alive & I truly believe the Lord, put him in prison to open his soul to truth. I love him with all my heart - I will never leave him. If he needs me right now - I'll go.

I've learned....
Something good always comes out of something bad.

This prayer site has certainly gotten me though some rough evenings here lately. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this journey. I'm praying for all of you; your children; May the Lord in Heaven place his hand upon you & shine his light through you. Bless you all!

SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be rasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971)

Lord in Heaven Hear my prayer;
Bless our babies; protect them every moment. Send your messengers to guide & guard. Lord Jesus, when people think of our children may they do so through you, our Lord. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

As I arise today, may the strength of God pilot me, the power of God uphold me, the wisdom of God guide me. May the eye of God look before me, the ear of God hear me, the word of God speak for me. May the hand of God protect me, the way of God lie before me, the shield of God defend me, the host of God save me. May Christ shield me today... Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit, Christ when I stand, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
- St Patrick of Ireland

All who Read please pray for our children ....

Angles watch over our children, keep them safe.

Remember those in prison as if you were fellow prisoners.’
Hebrews 13:3

Psalm 121
I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;
whence shall help come to me?
My help is from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

May He not suffer your foot to slip;
may He slumber not who guards you:
Indeed He neither slumbers nor sleeps,
the guardian of Isreal.

The Lord is your guardian;
the Lord is your shade;
He is beside you at your right hand.
The sun shall not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

The Lord will guard you from all evil;
He will guard your life.
The Lord will guard your coming and your going, both now and forever.

Special prayers to all you mothers at this time of the year, when families gather and the absence of loved members is all the more keenly felt.
Love, Edda

Come to Me,
all of you who are weary and
find life burdensome;
I will refresh you.
Take My yoke on your shoulders
and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and humble
of Heart.
You shall find rest
because My yoke is easy
and My burden light.
Matthew 11:28-30

I pray the Lord will hold each one of you in the palm of his hand. Give you peace duing the next 2 months. It's hard not having our children home with us. Bless you all.

To Matt's Mom, Hi, I hope you are at least finding the time to visit with your son. It means so much to them. Having gone thru it with 2 in laws, we know how difficult it is, especially when it's time to leave. Special protective prayers for all your children. I hope their guardian Angels are with them 24/7 to help get thru this terrible time.
