I’m sure as many of you know Cameron Boyce, only 20 years old, passed away the other night due to having a seizure in his sleep. I’m not sure of all the details because they only release so much information as respect for the family and friends, which is completely understandable.
Our generation grew up with him, watching him on Disney and seeing him grow in all the Tv shows and movies he played in. He was so fun to watch and such an amazing actor. Obviously i didn’t know him very well, so my word can only go so far. But it is a sad thing to know someone you looked up to as a kid, and grew with as a kid is no longer around. It’s sad to hear about anyone passing away, but this one just hit harder than others. It almost doesn’t even seem real.
People wake up and go to bed thinking they will live to see tomorrow, and that isn’t the case for everyone. Our loved ones, and even ourselves can be gone in a blink of an eye. And we take this time we have for granted. Hearing about stuff like this, makes me so emotional and makes me want to hug my family a little longer. I think we often forget we aren’t owed tomorrow, we aren’t promised next week. And yes even, the people we see on tv, and the celebrities we love are humans that are living this life just like us. They have medical conditions and they have problems and issues. They have insecurities and feelings.
I wish that this world wasn’t so fast, that time didn’t fly by and we could savor every moment. I wish we were promised everyday and we could live happy and worry free. But unfortunately that is not what we have. And whether we think about it or not, any day could be our last. It stinks it takes such awful things to happen for us to realize the reality of things sometimes. But i thank Cameron Boyce making me see that again, and i thank him for all the laughs and happiness he gave me as a child. I thank him for always being kind, and sweet and never changing who he really is. He may have died young, but he left a good footprint on this earth. And he is in a much better place now.
Don’t let something so awful as this make you realize how special your family is. How special your life is. Hug your loved ones, because you never know what day might be their last.
Rest In Peace Cameron.
