Loving Day

So I guess today is called "Loving Day" because of the case "Loving VS Virginia" which legalized interracial marriage in a few states that had yet to recognize it.  I had never really thought about it, or I guess it never really seemed like a big deal to me that Rudy is Hispanic and I'm White and that our kids are biracial.  I've never thought of us as a 'different' couple, but I guess we are.  To think that there would have been a time, not that long ago even, that Rudy and I would not have been able to be together, we both would have gone to jail for being together, much less having biracial children.  I've seen Facebook pages dedicated to interracial marriages and biracial children and to be quite honest I kind of found them a bit funny (not to offend anyone), but I always thought to myself "being married to a person of a different race and having mixed children isn't really a novelty anymore, why does everyone make such a big deal about it?".  I think I'm starting to get it though.  There are people who had to fight so that Rudy and I could have the right to marry, so that our daughter's could be our daughters.  I'm not gonna go on some rant about being PROUD to be in an interracial marriage, or PROUD to have biracial children, I'm just not loud like that.  But today, today I am thankful to be able to love my husband and our beautiful daughters.  Happy Loving Day :)
