He was the sweetest little fluffy rodent. It's the first time I'm losing a pet rat. I'm crying a bunch 😭 And well... it's normal; it's the cycle of life and death. A good reminder to cherish life itself and the ones around us, pets or humans. I'm treating my 4 other little critters today to celebrate them being alive and healthy.
I didn't have him for very long, and it still hurt a lot to lose him. I took him in July, as I had a lonely rat I rescued at home. He has been a lovely companion to Hatchi for the time he was there. He was 1 year and a half at the time according to the previous owner.
This photo taken when he was still healthy btw.
Thanks for taking time to read this. I just needed to tell somebody 💖
Rest in peace, Pistache

I’m sorry for your loss my friend. You are absolutely right to cherish life, but at the same time your grief also has its place.
Pistache probably “deserves” (by lack of a better word) some tears for your time together, not all tears are bad.
So thank you for sharing and take care.
PS this one always seems to help me a bit, maybe it can do the same for you:
— Why do all things have a name? the little one asked the teacher.
There was a short silence - and the teacher answered:
What a beautiful question!
Your name was given to you by your parents.
Because you have a name, I can call you.
And when I call you, you can come to me.
And when you come, I can take hold of you.
And when we hold each other, I can let you go.
