Sebastian's Passing...

Rebecca's beloved hamster Sebastian passed away a few days ago. Although I didn't get to spend much time with it, this name and this hamster has been a memory in my mind for quite some time. After all, Sebastian has been alive for about 2.5 years.

Thinking about it, Sebastian suffered a lot physically due to ageing and disease. In a way, Rebecca and I are glad that it passed away peacefully in its cage... especially before Rebecca and her family was to go for their overseas trip to Japan the next week. Initially, Rebecca wanted to leave Sebastian under my care while she was away for 1 week in Japan, but oh well... it was his time...

Sometimes I wonder if it is better to die not to old and have less problems and illnesses... or live a longer life and suffer from such problems... Hmm...
