Phantom calling

The strange concept that your child is actually here when they are not. I hear her calling me from her room for days after she has gone back to school. It is so clear that I often find myself moving towards her room to see what she needs. If I analyse it too much, I wonder if she is okay where she is, if she is calling me, needing me and I am hearing her. Maybe. Hopefully not.
Perhaps it means I miss her. Which of course I do. Or I just come to expect it for a continuous period over weekends and holidays so when she is no longer here, it is a habit my sub-concious needs to break.

Whatever. I hope I continue to hear her for as long as possible. I like it especially when she sings.
