On Sunday, April 1 Dr. Leila Denmark died at 114 years old. Dr. Denmark was a legendary pediatrician who practiced in the Atlanta area.
We have friends who grew up with Dr. Denmark as their pediatrician, and although we didn't know her, we purchased a book about her teachings and referenced it often in Madelyn's early days.
Last year the AJC published a great article about Dr. Denmark's legacy. In another article Dr. Denmark summed up her secret to success by simply saying, “You keep on doing what you do best as long as you can."
Here's to a life lived well, and a testament that wisdom truly is timeless.
