one year without your light. something cosmic broke the day you left, something seemingly so impossible, so unjust, so unnatural. the universe cannot repair the gap in her weaving. you were huge. i will love you forever, just like this. [2]
Dove Cameron is remembering Cameron Boyce one year after his death. On July 6, the 24-year-old Descendants actress shared an Instagram album featuring a series of black-and-white photos [4] of the pair hugging and laughing together. Along with the album, Dove penned a heartfelt note to Cameron, writing, "one year without your light. something cosmic broke the day you left, something seemingly so impossible, so unjust, so unnatural. the universe cannot repair the gap in her weaving. you were huge. i will love you forever, just like this."
Cameron — who had epilepsy — died [5] at the age of 20 on July 6, 2019, after experiencing a seizure in his sleep. In addition to costarring together on Descendants, Cameron and Dove were also friends in real life. Back in December, Dove honoured Cameron by getting an arm tattoo of a revolver [6] shooting out a single rose. "It's sort of a nationally recognised symbol for peace and anti-gun movements," Dove previously said of the tattoo, which is also a symbol of her and Cameron's views on gun control.
