Our guest blogger is Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise. She’s the mother of Dylan, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy on December 14, 2012.

11 years ago, I sent my son to school, and he never came home.

My beautiful butterfly, Dylan, just six years old at the time, was shot multiple times in his Sandy Hook Elementary School first-grade classroom alongside 19 of his classmates and six educators, in one of the worst school shootings in history.

I call Dylan my butterfly, because of how he loved to flap his arms when he got excited. Full of innocence and joy — unadulterated joy. I once asked him why he did this, and he said, “Because I am a beautiful butterfly.”

My Dylan was autistic and a flapper. For me, he was that beautiful butterfly and always will be. He was full of hope and promise. I carry his spirit with me wherever I go, whatever I do. It is what fuels my gun violence prevention work and mission at Sandy Hook Promise.

There’s a saying that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a hurricane halfway around the world. I believe if one butterfly can cause a hurricane, imagine if the millions of people who want to protect their families and communities from gun violence choose to flap their wings too.

We can do a lot more than cause a hurricane. Together, we can prevent violence in our schools and communities and save lives. Please watch my video from our ten-year remembrance. It’s a story I will cherish sharing forever.

Our co-founder, Nicole Hockley, shares the story of her son Dylan and her inspiration for championing gun violence prevention at Sandy Hook Promise.Make the ...

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
