Today is a good day.
We are in California at Oma's house. Mommy is finally getting over a nasty cold. We spent yesterday with mommy'as friends in Sacramento, swimming, going to the zoo and generally having a wonderful time.
Two of those friends just got married on Saturday. You didn't go to the wedding, mostly because mommy wanted to be there to support her friend and at 2.5 you can be a bit of a distraction. Even though you couldn't be there for the wedding you immediately took a liking to your new "aunt" Jessica. Aunt is in quotes because Jessica is married to mommy'as best friend from college, your "aunt" Sarah.
Hopefully by the time you are old enough to read this two aunts getting married will seem like no big deal.
But that is the reason today is such a good day.
Today people in charge of the laws in our land made a big statement. Today they said that it is a constitutional right to get married. No matter if you are two aunts, two uncles or one of each. Today the Supreme Court said that one day you can marry the person you love, no matter that person's gender
There are some people, even in your extended family, who would deny you and other people the right to follow your heart if it didn't fit within their beliefs. I hope that by the time you can read this, they are more willing to see that giving other people the rights that they have as the majority population doesn't hurt them, or make them less. It just helps other people be happy, which I the end is a good thing.. Our nation still has a long way to go to make things equal for all people but today is a step in the right direction.
Today is a good day.
