Nigu is now a part of my family. I found her, or rather she found me, at the airport when I was leaving Mexico for Los Angeles. She was looking at us, not moving and not running away. I think if she was able to speak, she would have said, "Now that I have found you, I am going with you. Don't even think of getting rid of me."

I was giving her water and she could not believe that it was for her. We had to let her to lick the water in our hand first and slowly she did believe that it was actually meant for her to drink. She was so nice and humble, not at all selfish.

Definitely, Nigu had made strong prayers and karma to be linked with me, to be part of my family.

At the time when we met each other, Nigu was very quiet, even though she was in very bad health condition. I could see her body was very dirty, she was very thirsty and hungry. No one knows how many days she had been suffering like this. She could not talk, she could only look at our group, as though saying, "Please take me and accept me as a part of your family." I had no second thought but to take her in. So now, Nigu is on her way to Kathmandu, to be a part of my family.

Thanks to my Sangha in Mexico who are ever so willing to help Nigu with medication, cleaning and vaccination. Within a week, I hope Nigu will finish her medical treatment and will be able to follow me soon.
