The mom and dad are trying so hard to hold back they tears while speaking....
-
The fact that his mum used “is” instead of “was” 🥲 so adorable
-
A wife who loses a husband is called a widow.
A husband who loses a wife is called a widower.
A child who loses his parents is called an orphan.
There is no word for a parent who loses a child.
That’s how awful the loss is.
– Jay Neugeboren – An Orphan’s Tale – 1976
Stay strong Mr and Mrs Lee -
This is my classmate. God bless him in heaven.
-
It was as if he knew he was going to pass on, asking to hug his mum before his last surgery
-
There was a sign on his room, that reads “Welcome home, Raphael” they were expecting him to go back home, and welcomed him....

R.I.P. Raphael Lee. May your spirit inspire more kids like you. -
I love it that she's saying that this IS his favorite corner intead of saying this WAS his favourite corner which means she feels as if she is still with her boy
-
He wanted to carry on ,when he died he was put in a coffin while in his school uniform with a water bottle and school bag and a copy of his p s l e results . Rest In Peace Raphael we will remember you
-
The kid didn’t deserve this horrible curse. My condolences goes to his parents.
-
This just popped up on my feed 3 years later. I hope his family is healing as best they can :(
-
He’s not dead. Legends never die. Rest well young warrior.
-
My dad always said
"I cant imagine my child dying before me..." -
instead of lying down, he wanted to sit down and rest on his mother's arms. after saying that he's scared, before he fell into a deep sleep.
that's honestly more scary than it is heartbreaking.
it's like he knew that something was very wrong so he was getting ready for the worst to come. -
The mother of the boy was my childhood teacher. Seeing them like this makes me feel very sad. I hope Raphael is happy in heaven now. 🕊
-
What touches the most is little Raphael knows as if he was going to leave his parents 😭 as if it's his last time, so he wants hug from his mum and leave forever.😭♥️
-
Raphael means: He is healed.
-
notice how his mom is using present tense instead of saying "was", or" was his"
his spirit is still always there with her 😭 -
I cant stop crying. This is incredibly sad. I can't even begin to imagine the pain the parents are feeling. Especially the mother/wife that found out her husband has cancer.
R.I.P little angel. He's in peace now, free from the brutal suffering of cancer. -
Why is it always the good people who die? This boy had his whole life ahead of him...
Rip Ralph
He was a sweet boy..
