John, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.

It’s so touching to see that 12,014 people have signed a special remembrance card honoring my beautiful butterfly Dylan’s birthday.

Today, my baby boy would have turned 14 years old. I avoid thinking about his birthday until the last possible moment because it hurts too much – like my heart is being ripped from my chest. But seeing the love and support from this community – and knowing we’re building a legacy for Dylan by saving lives – helps me push through.

It would mean so much if you’d sign the card to help me honor Dylan – for the boy he was; for the love we still, and will always, feel for him; and for all the children we can still protect from gun violence.

Thank you so much for sending your love today – it means more than you know.

With love,

Subject: Please sign: Card for Dylan's birthday

Tomorrow is one of the days that hurts the most, John. It would have been my beautiful butterfly Dylan's 14th birthday.

I would give anything to be spending the day baking cupcakes or wrapping his birthday presents – but there's no party to plan. My baby boy is frozen in time, forever 6 years old.

I’ve spent more birthdays without Dylan than I got to spend with him, and that will never get easier – no matter how many years go by.

The pain is unbearable, but I have to keep going to make sure his death meant something. I just want to save other parents from going through this.

So I'll push all my emotions down and spend tomorrow honoring Dylan by putting all of myself into this work. Knowing that together we’re protecting other children from gun violence is the only thing that will get me through the day.

Will you join me in remembering Dylan’s life and honoring his legacy by signing a special remembrance card for what would have been his 14th birthday?

They say a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a hurricane halfway around the world – and I know that together, we can build a legacy for my baby boy by protecting other children like him from gun violence.

Thank you for helping me honor Dylan's too-short life. Your love and support mean so much to me.

With love,

Nicole Hockley (Dylan's mom)
