Newtown remembers those killed at Sandy Hook a decade after the tragedy
Nicole Hockley:
Well, I mean, I can only really speak for me and my experiences.
Even my surviving son has — is forging a different path and a different experience and is processing things differently. But it is — time is pretty warped, really. Like, I can't really reconcile the fact that it's been 10 years since I held Dylan, since I heard him laugh, since I took him to school.
And yet Jake, my surviving son, is now 18. He was at the school that day. He was in third grade. He's now a freshman in college. He's taller than me. And I also see other kids — that Dylan is forever 6. And I see other kids in his grade who are now 16, who are now in high school and starting to think about college, and they're taller than me. And they're more — they're mature. And yet Dylan is forever my 6-year-old boy.
He is frozen in time, and that life is very much frozen in time as well.
