When my son, Tyler, called to tell me the news about the American Fork band bus crash, and that one of the instructors was killed, I could hardly register it because this only happens to people I don’t know and that I hear about on the news. Tyler wanted to know if I was glad he wasn’t in the band any longer because he would have been on that bus, the “woodwind” bus. I was so relieved when he told me that all his neighborhood band friends were okay, and that he wasn’t on that bus.
Sunday at church, there was a heightened feeling of gratitude for Heather Christensen’s quick response to grab the wheel of the bus most likely saving many lives at the cost of her own life.
