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.

This is another picture of Errol from his third birthday

We are hoping for good labs in the next few hours!
We are still in the most crucial hours.
We have shed many tears.

Still, there is laughter between the tears.

A fellow in the PCICU told me the following story about Duke Med.

There is a psychiatrist at Duke named...

Dr. Looney.

There is a urologist at Duke named....

Dr. Wiener.

I looked it up. It's totally true.

Dry your eyes.

Think of Errol.

It's close to morning time.

We'll keep you updated.
