My mother was a firm believer in reincarnation and said on many occasions that she wanted to come back as a river otter since they didn't have many predators and always looked like they were getting a lot of fun out of life.

Six months after she died there was a brief squib on local news about how river otters had been spotted in northern NM for the first time in over 50 years.

Part of me will always hope she made it.
