I spoke quickly, believing this was a dream and she would vanish at any moment. I said her name in disbelief - “Chika?” - and she turned, so I knew she could hear me. And suddenly, there she was, standing beside me. She first appeared eight months after she died, the morning of my father’s funeral.
