Bao’s psychic presence is very strong, very comforting, so much so that I find myself thinking that perhaps this is all I need, maybe he doesn’t have to take on a physical body in order to be with me. But does that mean he doesn’t want me to look for him? No, I think it means that he’s comforting me and making certain that I don’t look for him until he’s ready. If he’s already growing inside his mother, they won’t even be sure she’s pregnant, yet. I’m so lonely …

The following evening my friend Judy invites me to her place for dinner. I originally met Judy when we were both living in Tucson and doing volunteer work at the Tucson Museum of Art, but I only really got to know her after she moved to Rocky Point. Like all my friends, Judy was devastated to hear about Bao’s death. He loved coming to see her, and she even assembled a little basket of toys for him to play with when we visited. It’s still there, when I walk in. And she’s put water in his water dish, just like always.

Judy can feel Bao’s presence, too. She believes in reincarnation and often communicates with her own beloved, dead husband. It is enormously comforting to be able to talk openly about my feelings with someone who is accustomed to experiencing these kind of spiritual phenomena and accepts them as part of human life. We talk about reincarnation over glasses of red wine, and wonder about our own past lives. Judy has no doubt whatsoever that Bao is coming back. “You’ve been together before,” she said. “He was an old soul. And he loved you so much.”

I feel comfortable about sharing my concerns with Judy. “I want him to come back to me. I want it so much. But I love him. I want what’s best for him, too. And you know, Buddhists believe that all existence is suffering. And that animals can’t perform spiritual practices and can’t attain Enlightenment. So I shouldn’t want him to come back as a dog, should I? Not if I really love him. But I do love him!”

“Of course you love him. And it can’t just be about what you want,” Judy said thoughtfully. “It’s not only your karma. It’s Bao’s karma, too. And I think he wants to come back to you. He couldn’t do that, if he was born human. He had a wonderful life with you. He had a better life than most people have, when you stop to think about it. And he loved you so much. Besides, just hours after his death, you said you knew he was coming back. So that makes it his choice, doesn’t it?”

Later that night, lying in bed and listening to the murmur of the sea, I think about what Judy said. And I think about the terrible hour after Bao’s death, sitting there in the quiet, darkened clinic, holding him in my arms, telling him again and again how much I loved him.
