Errol Milner Clifford 2006-2009

Errol Milner Clifford was born with a significant heart defect and a cognitive disability that prevented him from walking or talking. As we grieved the child we had anticipated, Errol’s full-bodied smile and irrepressible laugh turned our sorrow into joy, and taught us that many of the best things in life are unexpected. Inspired by Errol’s delightful spirit, friends, family, and neighbors rallied to support our family’s significant emotional, physical, and financial needs, through countless acts of selfless generosity. When Errol’s courageous heart finally failed him on December 23, 2009 we were left numb with grief. In these dark hours we listen hopefully for the echoes of Errol’s brilliant laugh. This blog is the story (starting from present and working back to Errol's birth) of the life and times of the amazing Errol Clifford.

Kiss Kiss Kiss


Errol is in the running for the most kissed baby ever, averaging somewhere around 128 kisses a day. Now he's learning to give the kisses back. I stick my face right up to Errol's, put my cheek up to his sweet little mouth, and wait until he opens his mouth for a big smack of the cheek. I pull my face away and The Little Man gives a high pitched squeal and smiles and smiles, I turn my other cheek to Errol and the kissing begins again. The fun can go on all day because Errol loves to give his kisses.
