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.

Home again, home again, jiggidy jig.


Errol is home! Hooray. He just has the flu (not that flu, just the seasonal flu). Still, the docs wanted to keep him overnight in the hospital, but I badgered them until they relented and set us free. Errol is on Tamiflu, which should make him feel a lot better, really fast. It was a crazy day, and we are glad to have it behind us, and mostly, to be home.
