My Little kitten Oreo Died yesterday morning

My little Kitten Oreo died at 5:00 am yesterday morning.I was so saddened and heartbroken.I held him for the 3 hours that he lived as I couldnt put him down because I know how I would feel if someone didnt hold me while dying or was their to comfort me.It started around the day before he was fine and playing.We did notice he started getting constipated then he got diarreha.Well my husband hollered for me to come in to the kitchen as he said what is wrong with the cat?He had his paws out in front of him and was laying on the floor .He looked like he was trying to go to the litter pan.Well I picked him up and his head went back and his front paws and legs he couldnt move.It was like he was paralized.My husband called the vet at 2:00am in the morning and she called him back and said it sounded like he was having seizures and to gie him a little bit of syrup on his gums and keep giving him water as she said it sounded like he was maybe having low sugar.Well we did that and it got worse.I felt so bad for him that I couldnt help him.He looked so scared to be dieing .I guess I would be too.He finally gave his last breath in my arms and I cried all day.I felt like crap and felt numb and like I couldnt make it through the day.I am glad my husbands mom had the kids for the night.I still miss him and every morning it is like I can almost think he is their but is no more.It is so sad to lose a pet.They bring us so much love and joy.I am think on getting another cat maybe two this time but right now I am still mourning.Not one at is the same.My sister has kittens that are ready to be weened off of their mom in about a week.I think if mybe Oreo was not taken from his mother of being weened so soon then he might have survived but other kittens who have been orphaned have survived.He was weened off of his mom at 4 weeks because that was what the vet said that was how old he was.He died at 5and a half weeks.I think he might have had lukemia as I had a cat a long time ago when I was about 10 years old and he got paralized and had the white gums.I noticed Oreo had white gums when he was dying.Plus it smelled like death in his litter pan the day before.But I will never know what he died from.I am assuming it was lukemia as he had the symptoms.The vet said that their was probably nothing they could have done fo a little kitten since it was so little.Here is a poem(not written by me)dedicated to Oreo.It is a tear jerker.Thanks for reading my post. Rainbow Bridge by anonymous Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All of the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor and those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing, they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, after so long a time, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together
