Granted, this accident was a doozy – but none of our children were paralyzed, permanently damaged or killed. I think we should all be on our knees thanking Almighty God that they are all alive and OK. I also think that we should show forgiveness and compassion to the bus driver, whom I’m sure feels terrible.

Thank you to Durango Fire and Rescue, Durango Police, 9-R and Mercy Medical for making sure that my son and all the other children were well taken care of and got safely reunited with their parents.

With heartfelt gratitude,
