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.

Expecting the Expected

Photobucket
Great, great, great news today from Dr. Hines: Errol's wound is healing nicely!
With Curveball, we've learned to expect the unexpected (which makes the unexpected actually not unexpected and thus....nevermind)
We've all let out a huge sigh of relief and we finally feel like we can start our lives back again. Which is good since school has started for all three boys, Cary is back baking, and the dogs are chasing the chickens around the back yard.
Here's to expecting the expected.
Time for more salsa dancing.
