Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. & Mr. Myles

Last year Martin Luther King Day was on January 21. This is the day that Myles was born. Now this holiday will forever remind me of Myles. I remember thinking that there was symbolism in Myles's birth falling on this special day. Myles like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was strong and he similarly perservered despite all that was up against him. This is where I had hoped the similarities would end. However, as all of you know just like Martin Luther King, Jr. Myles left this Earth far too soon leaving his family heartbroken and lost. Myles's departure was similarly sudden and was an asassination of sorts. The culprits of this crime were preeclampsia, prematurity, and pneumonia. Although Myles and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. are gone, their lives and their fights will continue to inspire and encourage others.
