Kyle Busch's Wife Says Late NASCAR Star Is Sending Her Signs After His Death
Samantha Busch is sharing the "signs" she believes late husband Kyle Busch is sending her and how they've been bringing her "comfort" since his tragic death at the age of 41 last month.
Three weeks after the NASCAR driver died on May 21 following a case of bacterial pneumonia that progressed into sepsis, his wife took to her Instagram with a heartfelt message about feeling his presence even after his passing.
Thanking her followers for sharing their memories of Kyle over the past few weeks, Samantha said she wanted to share "some moments that brought me comfort over these unimaginably hard weeks."
Samantha explained that after 11-year-old son Brexton's birthday party in mid-May, Kyle had taken off his sandals in their bathroom, and that no one had ever moved them. (The couple also shares 4-year-old daughter Lennix.)
"About a week after he passed, I had one of the hardest nights yet. Most of the night, I spent sobbing, wishing I could feel his arms wrapped around me one more time," Samantha continued. "I finally gave up on sleeping and walked into our bathroom. There, shining directly across Kyle's sandals, was a rainbow."
Sharing a photo of the rainbow across Kyle's sandals, Samatha wrote that the discovery gave her a sense of peace, "like he was giving [her] a sign."
Despite understanding "exactly how [the rainbow] happened scientifically," Samantha explained that she had never seen a rainbow appear in that location before, let alone one that was "that bright and vibrant."
In another special moment, Samantha said she spotted a bird flying around during her church's service, and at one point, "it flew over to where I was sitting, tilted its head sideways, looked right at me, and then flew away," before later visiting again near her feet.
"It feels like God is reminding me that I'm not alone and that Kyle is letting me know he's okay, that he's close, and that somehow he's still walking beside us," she concluded.
