we miss you, dost.

im doing my best to stay strong right now dosty, just like you did i love you oh i love you oh i love you so

Beautiful

Jaye, 15 years ago God gave me the privilege of having you in my life. In that short time you’ve taught me many things. How to laugh, love, and be spontaneous. I’ll never forget the first time I saw you at Costco wondering who you were as our moms were talking. Weeks later you were in my first grade class and I remember you walked up to me and said “I remember you from Costco. Do you want to be my friend?” Little did I know that it would turn into 15 years of a beautiful sisterhood. Today was truly heartbreaking having to say goodbye to you but I know you’re always watching over me. I love you always Jaye and I will never forget you or the valuable things you have taught me.❤️

I took a few pictures at Kip’s funeral. I know many of you would have been there if you could have.

I just heard the news that Kips / Dostmotherknowyou has passed away…

Just from hearing of it, I already miss him… I talked to him a few times, I believe we even planned to do a collab but never got around to it… I just wish I could have gotten to know him even better. Though our talks were brief, and he drew me two pictures out of the kindness of his heart, I never got around to drawing him anything and it pains me that I’m too late…. Dost, we all miss you but know you are in a better place now. You were an amazingly talented artist and though I didn’t get to know you in real life, I could see that you were an awesome and beautiful person, and I considered you a friend.

My prayers go out to Dost’s family and friends. We loved him so very much…

I drew @dostmotherknowyou, R.I.P Kip. :(

sorry for it looking so bad I haven’t drawn in weeks.

 my first digital drawing as a tribute to @dostmotherknowyou

i had never personally talked to kip, but their art was always inspiring and utterly beautiful. i was so shocked to know that kip had passed away. rest in peace.

This is just a reminder for people who want to donate and help the family.

They would like all donations to go to an organization that helps fight against colonrectal cancer. 

If you have a few dollars to spare or could send this post around, for Dost, then by all means, please share this post with anybody on anything. 

Dost may not be here anymore, but raising money for this organization could potentially help someone else in Dost’s shoes. We could potentially help spare grief from another community. 

Dost and I a few years back were planning a story together that I had lovingly named House of Glass. It was about a handful of artists here on tumblr who fell in love. I still have some of the rough drafts. They were so excited when I told them the plot; I remember being excited to talk to them on skype. They were so talented and I didn’t feel like I could measure up.

Now I wish I could’ve told them how I felt. How once I was too nervous to even speak to them. Well, at least I can give them this. I put them on the wall of a hall on my campus. A stunningly beautiful figure resting peacefully.

I’ll miss you, Dost.

I made a video for Dost. Rest in peace, my friend.

My friend Dost, Dostmotherknowyou.tumblr.com, passed away a few days ago.

I am really upset, as are a lot of other people, and I really hope that they are at peace.

Dost was a nerd. They were a huge nerd and they were really cool and amazing. They were kind, loving, and a fantastic person all around. Dost loved several people and loved several things. They were so full of life that it’s so hard to see this candle go out. Dost goes by he/him or they/their pronouns, so please respect that.

Dost suffered from Stage IV Colon cancer. Towards the end, they had to be hospitalized and they were really sick. They took a hiatus from their blog, thinking they’d come back when they were better, but they never got that chance. They passed away on Aug 27th because of cancer. Word got out on August 29th.

I chose this song because Dost loved Panic! At the Disco. I remember when This Is Gospel’s music video came out and I was sent the video several times, told to look, because they were so excited. So I thought the memorial video would’ve been perfect with that song.

Dost loved everyone. There was nothing but kindness from them. They were a fantastic person and just.. it’s so hard. It’s going to be so hard without them, but they are no longer in pain. They are finally cancer free. 

Rest in peace.
