"Listen Al, if I never see you again, I want you to know that I love you very much. I also buried 1,600 kilos of cocaine somewhere in the apartment -- right next to the cure for blindness. Good luck." ~Deadpool
I am usually the writer of the family, I suppose, as Chris’s daughter, that is something I got from him. But since learning of my dad’s death, words are very difficult. So I’m going to use my mother’s words, applicable quotes and some crude and/or inappropriate Deadpool jokes to get this done. You have been warned.
“Sorry, I use humor to deflect my insecurities. Plus, I’m hilarious, so don’t hate.” ~Deadpool aka: Chris
The loss of Christopher James Grall, is very painful. This all came as a shock to us. And we are still desperately searching for answers.
We all went to watch the premier of the Incredibles 2 about a month ago.
“Cancer is a sh*t-show. Like a Yakov Smirnoff opening for the Spin Doctors at the Iowa State Fair sh*t-show.” ~Deadpool.
Our financial situation can be described eloquently by the previous quote. We were not prepared for this, and we still don’t know if Chris prepared for this. A few bucks here and there, a gift card for food, anything would help. Our savings have been wiped out trying to give Chris the best we can. We will contact everyone once memorial services have been scheduled.
His death was so sudden, unexpected, and way too soon.
“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.” ~Lemony Snicket
I wish I could write something beautiful right now, about how great a person he was (he was my everything), but I can’t.
“Today was about as much fun as a sandpaper d*ldo.” ~Deadpool
Okay, maybe I can at least end this with something nice. A single quote from one of my favorite movies, and a poem.
"May the Valkyries welcome you and lead you through Odin's great battlefield. May they sing your name with love and fury, so that we might hear it rise from the depths of Valhalla and know that you've taken your rightful place at the table of kings. For a great man has fallen: A warrior. A chieftain. A father. A friend." ~Gobber: How to Train Your Dragon 2
Not Enough Time
"The time we had, Dad,
Wasn't nearly enough
To pack in an entire
Lifetime of love.
Little boy at his father's grave
There are so many questions
That I need answers to,
But now that you're gone
There's no way to ask you.
But there are still photos
To remember you by,
Each time I look at them,
I still want to cry.
They say grief is easier
to bear as time goes by,
But the doesn't stop me
from wondering why?
Why my dear, sweet dad
Was taken so soon,
When he was my guiding star,
My sun and my moon.
There are no answers
To a question like this,
So I'll cherish your memory,
And mourn the years we'll miss."
“You’re still here? It’s over. Go home. What, were you expecting Sam Jackson in an eye patch?” ~Deadpool
