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.

Back in Mama's Arms
Errol is having a good afternoon. He seems to be over his nausea and he's been smiling and playing peek-a-boo. The nurses had to suction out his nose and mouth but it's helped his breathing and we still hope to have him out in a normal room tomorrow. One of the best things we can do is to hold him up and try to get the gunk out of his lungs. He certainly doesn't seem to mind being in Mama's arms! Who would?

It's so good to see his little face. I know he is happy to be held and the touch of his mommy and daddy's arms wrapped around him. This will definately speed up his healing process. Keep up the good work ...Errol. hugs and kisses
Love Ms Paula
