    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.

    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.

    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.

We were all devasted to learn of his passing during his operation. Such a cheerful and pure soul can never cease to live. He will continue to live in the memories of his beloved parents, loved ones and his classmates. Please do not believe that he is dead. He is living beyond this physical dimension.
