Samantha said, "One of the greatest gifts these past few weeks has been hearing people's stories about Kyle. Every memory, photo, and message has helped me feel connected to Kyle in ways I can't fully explain and made me want to share some moments that brought me comfort over these unimaginably hard weeks."
On social media, she said that she saw a sign in her bathroom after an episode of grieving.
She explained, "After Brexton's birthday party, Kyle had kicked off his sandals in our bathroom, and we never moved them. 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. I finally gave up on sleeping and walked into our bathroom. There, shining directly across Kyle's sandals, was a rainbow."
Samantha said that she ended up cradling her late husband's sandals that night.
"I literally laid down on them and felt a bit of peace, like he was giving me a sign," she wrote. "But we've lived in this house for over 10 years. I've been awake at every hour imaginable, through every season and all kinds of weather, and I have never once seen a rainbow appear here. And for anyone wondering, this photo hasn't been edited or enhanced at all. The rainbow was truly that bright and vibrant."
Kyle Busch Remembered
Meanwhile, she said she was at church when she felt Kyle Busch gave her another sign that he was okay.
"For the first time since I've ever attended, a bird was flying around during the entire service. At one point, it flew over to where I was sitting, titled its head sideways, looked right at me, and then flew away," Samantha said.
"Later, while everyone was praying, I kept hearing a noise and thought someone's phone was going off. I opened my eyes, and it wasn't a phone. The bird was right by my feet, hopping along before disappearing around the corner. I know some people will say it was just a bird and just a rainbow. Maybe they're right. But standing in the same church where we said goodbye to Kyle a few days earlier, and carrying a grief that still doesn't feel real most days, it felt like more than a coincidence to me," she wrote.
Samantha concluded, "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."
