Kyle Busch<\/strong>\u2019s wife, Samantha Busch<\/strong>, is honoring the late NASCAR legend after his death on a day the racer should be spending time with his children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis still doesn\u2019t feel real at all. I was up all night thinking about what today should have looked like for Kyle and the kids. The Father\u2019s Day cards that were already made, sitting in a drawer with no one to give them to. Trying to figure out how to navigate a day that should be filled with so much joy for them,\u201d Samantha wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, June 21. \u201cHe was the dad who never missed a chance to be silly, race the kids around the neighborhood, wrap them in his arms, or stay up a little longer for one more book, one more question, one more moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cNothing made him prouder than being Brexton and Lennix\u2019s dad.Watching these memories hurts more than I can explain, but they also remind me how lucky we were to have him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samantha concluded her post with a message for Kyle, sharing that their family \u2014 which includes son Brexton, 11, and daughter Lennix, 4 \u2014 \u201c[misses] you every second of every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSamantha Busch (n\u00e9e Sarcinella) was brought to tears ahead of a moment of silence at the Indy 500 that honored her late husband, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch. Clutching the shoulder of son Brexton, Samantha, 39, was overcome with emotion while one of the event\u2019s announcers paid tribute to the Busch family at the Indianapolis Motor [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOur hearts ache for you, but it\u2019s more than that. Your absence is something we physically feel. Our bodies hurt from missing you, from reaching for someone who isn\u2019t there, from loving someone we can\u2019t hold anymore,\u201d Samantha wrote. \u201cI will keep telling your stories, sharing your laughs, and making sure Brexton and Lennix always know just how deeply they were loved by their dad. Happy Father\u2019s Day. We love you and miss you more than words can say.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside the message, Samantha shared several clips of Kyle with their children through the years. In one video, the family embraced in a sweet hug while standing on a race track.<\/p>\n

News broke in May that Kyle unexpectedly died at age 41<\/a>. One day prior to his death, the racer was hospitalized after he was found unresponsive in a race simulator in North Carolina. A death certificate obtained by Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> showed that Kyle had pneumonia for \u201cdays or weeks\u201d before his death, which progressed into sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection that can cause multi-organ failure.<\/p>\n

Samantha addressed Kyle\u2019s death the following month<\/a>, sharing a statement signed by her, Brexton and Lennix.<\/p>\n
