The John Busby I fell in love with was an athlete.
He was very self-confident.
He was one of the nicest fathers.
He was a wrestler on the ground kind dad.
and a hold my little girl close kind of dad.
John always gave us the sense of safety and that nothing would happen to us as long as he was around.
August 31st, 1979 was what changed our lives forever.
Nothing was ever the same.
When I heard the knock on the door,
I was watching Benny Hill.
And in fact, I was laughing, I can remember.
I remember making a noise and falling back against the wall and sinking down.
And I told Kelly, I'll call you as soon as I know what's happening.
And the next thing I knew, I was in the cruiser.
I could see lights, lights everywhere.
And I could see John's Volkswagen riddled with holes.
And I thought to myself, this is bad.
