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.

What wonderful news! Go Errol Go! The offer of a meal any time still stands. PLEASE call us-- we want to help.
What wonderful news! The angels have been watching over Errol and speeding his recovery. This is such a blessing, and we are very happy to hear of it.
The focus is, naturally, on Errol. But I send loving vibes for rest for you all - esp. Cary, and Jonathan.
Owen, you are a V.I.P. - that is Very Important Person. In fact, I'd say you are THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF ALL to your brother. I know you will have a lot of fun with him soon, and he will be so glad to be home playing with you!
This is Teresa Hicks. I think my therapy dog, Nike and I visited Errol today. A friend sent me the link to this page not knowing our paths would cross today. I recogized Errol's beautiful photos. I am so glad Errol is going home. He is a great young man and he has a wonderful mom and dad! Love and blessings to you all
