“Second of all, I loved seeing all of my son’s friends run around with this whole supportive group of adults encouraging them to stand up for what’s right. It’s not enough just to celebrate love this year. We are fighting for the civil rights of our friends and neighbors and cherished loved ones,” she continued.

“And I feel so fortunate that the establishment we started attending back when my son was in diapers is leading the charge in our town. Huge thank you to Rhinebeck Episcopal Church of the Messiah and the organizers of this event. George gave me her rainbow ring. It’s my new favorite bling.”

On Mother’s Day, Burton shared the sweet cake her family got her and reflected on raising her two kids with husbandJeffrey Dean Morgan.

“There was a moment today where I was sitting outside, and my kids were making each other laugh really hard, and my@jeffreydeanmorganwas power washing the deck after playing with them in the pool. And the sound of the water and the leaves in the breeze and the bees just all collided. And I felt the happiness that sometimes we only recognize in hindsight,” she wrote.

“I felt it exactly in the moment. And that’s the biggest gift,” she added, joking, “Cake also helps. Thank you@jeffreydeanmorgan. This life with you is busy and full and gorgeous and hilarious.I feel so loved.”
