A truly successful life is one where the light remains after the flame has been extinguished; one where the song is heard long after the voice has been silenced.
That is true immortality.
The ability to reach out and touch others' lives, and help them stand a little taller and make their world a better place.
One such life reached out and touched mine as she died over four years ago, and Nila's legacy remains forever in my heart and soul. But I can't keep it there. For this kind of love and light to grow, it needs to be shared and passed on, lighting the dark and lonely places in the world.
Which is exactly what Coretta Scott King did.
