Errol Milner Clifford: Tears of Joy

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.

Tears of Joy

Tears, but tears of joy. We are still in the weeds, but right now Errol's sats are up, blood pressure looks better, and Errol is doing better all around. The PCICU team is amazing. Errol is rallying, we are still on the edge of catastrophe, but we are pulling ahead. Go Errol! Go! We miss you so much. We want to see you smile. You are so beautiful. Come back.
