In Loving Memory of Chika, 4 Years On
Today marks four years since we lost my dearest sister and cheerleader, the one who envoursges me on my food journey, and not a day has gone by without thoughts of her filling the quiet spaces of my heart.
Chika was bold, brilliant, hilarious, and full of life, a beautiful force of nature who loved deeply, laughed loudly, and lived unapologetically. Her wit, warmth, and wild spirit left an imprint on everyone lucky enough to know her.
Losing her still feels surreal. Sometimes it’s as if she just traveled and forgot to call. The pain of missing her is constant, like a thread that’s been woven into the fabric of my everyday life.
Chika’s greatest love was her son, Akachi, and he’s doing well ,full of energy, heart, and a little bit of her signature sass. She’d be proud.
There’s so much I still wish I could tell her. So many moments I want to share, laughs I wish we could have. The urge to call her, to hear her take on the latest gist, still hits me every day.
Social media isn’t the same without her, no one does it like Mama Katchy Home and Abroad.
We take comfort in knowing she’s reunited with Daddy and Jay, and probably causing just enough holy trouble in heaven to keep things interesting.
Chika, you are deeply loved. Endlessly missed. Never forgotten.
Keep resting, my sister. You’re always with us.
