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.

Happiest person in the room


The goal of life is to get older, which will, of course, eventually kill you. There's just no winning. But there is a way to slow down the inevitable, and that is to live in the moment, which is right where Errol is. Some times I think that Errol's in on the world's biggest secret, which, I guess, is why Errol is usually the happiest person in the room. See for yourself.

I love the Einstein hair in this shot! He could get a role in "Back to the Future"!
