Mum had "the conversation" with Grandad when he was still well enough to make the decision.
He was a typical, stoic old Cockney of his generation. Didn't want to be a bother to anyone. Don't hook me up to any of those pipes.
In the end he slipped off peacefully in the nursing home and Mum, Dad, Laura and I were there - Stevo was on his way back from London. The home called to say he was near the end - we were all expecting it. No bother to anyone, it was between teatime and Coronation Street.
I am such a selfish witch that losing Diz hit me harder than losing Grandad.
But I do miss him. Proper old school, was Grandad.
