Another sign from her

Chef Cara • Currently cook for a fine dining restaurant in Traverse City. Single, 29, chef, would love to be a mom someday.

Didn't know where to post this so please let me know if I need to move it. TIA

Today would have been my cousin's 27th birthday. She passed away March 24th 2019. It was tragic and unexpected. She was only 25 when she died. Horrible single car accident.

I drove downstate 3 hours away to be by her side everyday and help her mom (my aunt) who was battling stage 4 ovarian cancer. We stayed at the hospital and they gave us a little room to stay in. My cousin was on life support for nearly a month.

I would just sit in her room hoping she'd wake up. We couldn't talk to her or touch her because they didn't want to stimulate her. We did everything we could with the options the doctors gave us but she would of been in a vegetative state if we kept her the way we did. It was hard as young as she was and her two young children she had. I think about her everyday. Someone you known your entire life, that you grew up with, and lived with at times, shared the same bed when we we were kids is taken in a blink of an eye. We were practically like sisters.

Today is her birthday and I was 2 mins away from my place when all of a sudden my car started beeping. I'm frantically looking at the dashboard thinking something is wrong with my car because it was snowing hard and thought maybe something was off but in fact it was

the passenger side seatbelt light went off as well as the passenger air bag light was on. No one was in the passenger seat. It only goes off when someone is sitting there and doesn't have their seatbelt on yet. In the 4 years I've had this car it never went off just because.

The seatbelt light eventually stopped but the air bag light was still on as if someone was sitting there. I wanted to get a video of the light going off but I was driving so I was able to get a picture at the stoplight. It stayed on until I parked my car and turned it off. I take it as a sign from her. Not long after she died I had a dream of her and we had a full conversation. It felt so real and I woke up with a feeling of calmness knowing that she was ok. R.I.P. Kayla
