Michael and Emma's Granddad Adam (Sarah's Dad) passed away at home on Thursday of cancer. Thankfully he didn't have much pain, and his passing was peaceful.
In February, he debuted perhaps his final and best musical composition - a little homage to his grandchildren called "Tullibody Minkers". He loved them both very dearly, and loved spending time with them.
It feels appropriate to blog some of the photos from his time with Michael and Emma.
