Kayte,
I'm behind on my emails and I just read about your sister's little
Minnion. I'm so sorry. It's always so sad when the little ones get so
little time with us. Your son sounds like such a sweet compassionate
fellow. I hope you are able to help him cope and understand, at least a
little bit. Death as a part of life's cycle is a difficult concept even
for adults to grasp. I too believe everything happens for a reason.
It's hard to see the reason why someone so young should have to deal
with this kind of despair so early in his life, but I feel better
knowing he has you to compassionately and lovingly guide him through
it. How blessed you are to have each other. I can understand why you
feel so strongly about exposing him to yet another potential heartache
by adopting another pos. Keep open to it though and wait for your cue
from him, (what's your son's name?). He may surprise you, he may be
able to come to terms with the balance of life's joys and harsh
realities of loss sooner than you expect.
Blessings to you and your family,
Nina

My sisters 5 month old kitten has passed away. Minnion was a sweet
fiesty girl and then started to not eat a lot. She was neg for FIV and
FELV. We took her to the vet and by the time we got there she was
almost gone. He gave he some meds and in less then 2 mins she was
gone. I felt so good to be with her in her last moments. She was
suffering and now she is not. I firmly believe everything happens for
a reason. I have learned that I CAN NOT get another FELV infected
kitten at this time. My son has been a wreck all day and wont eat. He
is just crying for Minion. Minion was the runt of the bunch. She came
from a barn cat. I did read him the Rainbow Bridge again and he still
was upset. My mom cried to as how beautiful it was. Now Minion is
playing with Pokies and all your babies. Hope all is good with everyone:)
