If you’ve been following along with our podcast series about signs from heaven, this episode brings the conversation full circle in a pretty incredible way. 🫶

After losing their 13-year-old lab, Maxx, in April, Kayla and her family knew another dog would eventually become part of their story. They just didn’t expect it to happen quite like this.

Enter a puppy already named Indy. 🐾🩷

At first, a wait list made it seem like she wasn’t meant to be theirs. But a month later, Indy was still available. And when Kayla called the breeder to make it official, one more detail appeared on her phone: Hallock, Minnesota, the small town where Kyle had worked for a year and a half.

Tune into the latest episode to hear the full story of how little Indy found her way home.

Meet INDY Warrior Kyle Walker 💙

In May 2025, Kyle went to the ER with a bowel obstruction. Doctors discovered a tumor, and what followed was a diagnosis no one is prepared to hear: Stage 4 cancer of the small intestine.

Kyle underwent surgery to remove the tumor, but the cancer had already spread. When he went to the University of Minnesota that July with hopes of further surgery, doctors determined the cancer was inoperable and gave him an estimated 9–12 months to live.

More than a year later, Kyle is still fighting. 🫶

He has been undergoing chemotherapy for the past year, with treatment now focused on maintaining his quality of life and giving him more time with the people who matter most. And for Kyle, that means his two daughters.

As a single dad raising them on his own, Kyle hasn’t been able to work since his diagnosis and has leaned on his parents for help as he navigates treatment, parenting, and an incredibly uncertain road ahead.

Kyle’s story is exactly why INDY exists: to stand beside local cancer warriors and their families when life changes in an instant.

Your INDY family is with you, Kyle. Keep fighting. 💙

In the latest episode of 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳, we continue our Signs From Heaven series by sharing stories from the INDY community. Feathers found at just the right moment. A cardinal keeping pace alongside a three-wheeler. A phone call from a loved one whose number had been disconnected. Songs, dreams, eagles and other moments that feel like more than coincidence. 🪽

These are your stories, and each one is a reminder that connection can continue in unexpected ways after someone we love is gone.

Do you have a sign that always makes you think of someone you’ve lost?

For Kayla, one of those signs is “Dixieland Delight,” one of Kyle’s favorite songs. Nine years later, it still seems to find her in the most unexpected places... and often at just the right time.

In this week’s episode of 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳, Kayla shares some of the signs she’s experienced since losing Kyle, from songs and butterflies to the incredible story of a horse named INDY just days after his funeral.

Are they signs? Coincidences? Maybe it doesn’t really matter. Sometimes it’s simply the feeling of connection they bring that means the most.

What’s your sign from a loved one?

Maybe it’s a song. An animal that appears at the right moment. A dream, a smell or something you can’t quite explain. We’d love to hear yours in the comments. 🫶

❤️ DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS? ❤️
Have you ever experienced something that made you stop and wonder, “Was that them?”
Maybe it was a cardinal appearing at just the right moment. A song that suddenly played when you needed it most. A butterfly, a dream, a familiar scent—or simply something that reminded you unmistakably of someone you love.

For an upcoming episode of the Connecting Through Cancer Podcast, we want to hear YOUR story.

✨ What sign have you received from someone you love? ✨

Maybe it was a coincidence.
Maybe it was something more.
Or maybe it doesn't matter what you call it—as long as, for a moment, you felt connected.
Share your sign with us! Your story could be featured on the podcast and might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

📩 Send your story to [email protected], DM us or share below in the comments. 👇

Because sometimes, the people we love find ways to remind us they're still with us. ❤️
