I lost a great friend this year as he lost battle over brain cancer . I wasn't really close to him . He was a friend of mine since primary school and i am currently 16 now . We don't hang around much . We only spoke to eachother when it based off school homework or games we usually play together in class . He's favorite game was pubg . Everytime when its recess or when a teacher is absent for the day . We always find a way to play together . He grew up having weight problems and alot of people made fun of him . As the day he was announced leaving this earth was actually a few days before his mother's birthday . I actually broke down in tears , funny how even a friend who is not even close with you but with great memories we spent together can also put you into a mental breakdown. I hope he is doing fine in a better place . Watching over us .

Even though it was a short 12 years, you could tell Raphael was raised with a lot of love from his parents, and because of that love, he was able to love back twice as much and even more. It's so sad that even til the end of his life, he had to struggle with cancer. He might not win the fight with cancer, but he already won in many other areas. I'm so proud of this little angel. I may not know him personally, but his story will definitely stay in me and touch me forever. Little Raphael, rest in peace. I'm sure you're in a happier place now with no pain of illness, in the presence of God 😊. May God bless Mr and Mrs Lee , I hope they can live the rest of their lives happily for Raphael too.

I have a cousin with the same illness, bone cancer because she fall from her bike. She was just 10 and i was 9. Even though the time we spent was short, i remember her as a sweetheart, always say hi, being polite and ofc being the best sister for me and her siblings. It's been 12 years, i really miss her. Sending my prayers to Raphael family, heaven has gain one more angel🕊

I can't stop crying when seeing this, it is so strong yet heartbreaking for a child to be this sweet, positive and inspiring while knowing what is going on to himself. His parents must be the best to have raised a child as this good. They should have been the happiest family instead.

What a sweet boy! Oh my heart!❤️. Incredibly smart and loving….

[@radiredwolfgirl]

He knew he was going to die And thats makes it even sadder :(

[@grimm5475]

This reminds me of my brother who die from heart attack when i wasnt even born. And at that time my mother cried so much and she also gave a wish to a monk and said that she would get a new child after 1 year and it really came true because i was born and all my relatives and friends know that i am the reborn of my dead brother. The proof is that i have a birth mark at my stomach.

I've never cired so much over someone I've never met. May he rest in peace, and be in a better place.

Whoever is or know someone who's fighting cancer, I hope that they know they aren't alone and they will get through this.

[@kankynza]

When his mom showed the message in a bottle, that's it- I broke down My mom died two years ago because of lung problems, and as a kid.. I think since primary school, I usually made letters or cards for my mom at mother's day or at her birthday. A few weeks after she died, I actually went through her stuff and find that she kept all of it. My silly drawings or poems in my cards, everything. She kept everything I guess it hit the spot for me... Raphael sounds like a sweet kid. He'll fly high in heaven

Truly broke my heart that a 12 year old had to go through so much suffering up till the end. I hope Mr and Mrs Lee take heart in the fact that he's finally free from pain and that in his short life he's inspired and achieved much more than some people can hope to in an entire lifetime. Thank you for summoning the courage to share your story with the media - you made me believe there are angels among us, and you were truly blessed with one. Do not despair, as like Raphael we all have to go someday to where he is now, and he was just as fortunate in his time on Earth to be born to parents as loving as yourselves.
