To My Husband

Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

*Thank you for making it possible for my husband and I to be together.

*Thank you for making it possible to marry the love of my life. (Kansas never had a law against it but so many other states did.) 

*Thank you for showing people that love is the only way.

*Thank you for allowing my son to one day go to a school with people of all colors.

*Thank you for teaching us "to judge not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."-MLK

I Have a Dream...

*i have a dream that one day C and I can see more smiles from the strangers that we meet instead of glares and eye rolls that we are often greeted with. 

*i have a dream that no one will use the word disgusting when describing our marriage

*i have a dream that my son will never be called one of the insulting names that they refer to children of interracial couples.

*i have a dream that our girls will remember that love is the most important thing in a marriage and not race.

*i have a dream that our daughters and son will remember that their parents taught them tolerance of others.
