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.

Surgery Update
Errol is still in surgery but off the heart machine. So far so good. We'll hope to be out of surgery within the hour. More updates later. Thank you all for your support and love.
Our hearts are all there with Errol. I have known Mike Hines since he was a baby (well, a med student) and I don't think Errol could be in any finer hands.

Thinking of Errol and the two of you. His smile always warms my heart.
Thinking about all of you. Please let us know when we can fix you a meal-- you need something other than hospital food.
Good luck to all of you!
What a brave young man!
Sending you much love from the Banks, Haas, and Root families from Georgia.
