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.

Thanks for keeping us all posted this way--and we are keeping the love coming. Kiss those boys for us!
I will think of all of you and I will say a prayer for sweet Errol. I hope for his sake this is the last time those doc's have to open him up!
God Bless!

may God continue to wrap his arms around each of you, most especially precious little errol and may the Lord continue to carry you all through this ordeal. please know that all 4 of you are loved and prayers are being lifted up continuously!!
Oh how exhausted you must be! I have checked your blog several times today, most eager to hear how Errol was progressing. So pleased to hear tomorrow's pacemaker procedure will be less stressful, but rivers of love will continue flowing to Durham until you folks get back home!
Hang in there, and we're all hangin' with you as best we can!

We're snowed in, and we'll be thinking of you tomorrow at 11 while we shovel out. So much love coming down 95 to you.
