[WATCH] Boy who died before getting PSLE results inspired many 

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.

This 12-year-old boy was the classmate of my niece's daughter who lives in Boon Tiong Crescent. We were all praying and hoping that Raphael Lee would pull through. 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. God bless his soul.

The mom and dad are trying so hard to hold back they tears while speaking....

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..

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 .

I know he's at heaven somewhere waving back to his mother.

He was amazing, he knew hw was going to die, he wanted his mom to hold him, to indure the last moments. Mom, you did an amazing job, you raised an amazing kid, its sad to see your own kid die in your arms. You will be missed.

4:35 it really shook me when i saw his lego figure had no hand like his too. I really love this kid!

This got me crying so hard! This kid seemed so sweet. God Bless his parents and may he rest in peace 🕊🕊

I was recovering from my crying but just as I watched 3:29 I burst out crying again. 😭If only there was some way to give a life to one another, id pay my life, basically...

I cant finish the video, its tearing my heart out. I am a grown ass man that has kidney failure, and life is tough but i at least got a childhood and my mom at least had a son. I feel sad that the boy never got to make mistakes, get in trouble, stay up late and sneak out, piss off his parents with a distasteful girlfriend, get bad grades and get punished for it, kiss a girl, go to college, get a job , drive a car, live life and become a man. We take for granted our experiences and this little boy will never have them in this lifetime. We should be grateful for our lives with all the good and bad experiences. God bless this boy and his family.

“The way sadness works is one of the strange riddles of the world. If you are stricken with a great sadness, you may feel as if you have been set aflame, not only because of the enormous pain but also because your sadness may spread over your life, like smoke from an enormous fire. - Lemony Snicket

R.I.P. Raphael Lee. May your spirit inspire more kids like you.

This was so heartbreaking :( may god bless him in heaven ❤️❤️❤️

This really touched me. I cried after the first 5 seconds. It was heart wrenching, and I am so sorry to his parents. I am also sorry to hear about his dad’s illness, I hope he is okay.

I wonder how he felt that same time when he scaredly said he wanna rest on his mom's arms. Did he feel that he was about to die? 😭

We are with you both. Stay Strong.

Really very sad. But why life has to end like this? Hope that that he is now having fun with the angels. God bless him and the parents.

She’s still talking in present tense oh my God.

May God bless you

I CAN’T WATCH THIS-😭

OMG!! THANKS FOR INSPIRING ME!

How wer the parents so calm

This is so sad but little buddy it’s ok, ur up in heaven without all the sufferings.

This is sad, I nearly cried :ʼ( Touched my heart, never ever will I be mean or angry with people. We humans need to learn to love each other, Im starting now ❤️

It was as if he knew he was going to pass on, asking to hug his mum before his last surgery

I was so touched by this. God bless him in heaven .....so inspiring.. stay strong Mummy and Daddy. I am heartbroken.

There was a sign on his room, that reads “Welcome home, Raphael” they were expecting him to go back home, and welcomed him....

The kid didn’t deserve this horrible curse. My condolences goes to his parents.

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

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

No parent should have to experience this.

My dad always said "I cant imagine my child dying before me..."

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

The fact that his mum used “is” instead of “was” 🥲 so adorable

Raphael is a true hero and warrior, he fears no pains and suffering. He embraces every moment alive and forever lives in our hearts.

When the letter opened up and said “I love you, Mama” I broke into tears. This boy shouldn’t have died, god bless his family

The 511 people who disliked this video. Most of which are probably heartless peeps R.I.P. Raphael Lee. May your spirit inspire more kids like you.

Remember: Even if he did lose the battle, he became an angel to fly high because god must’ve seen his suffering and wanted it to end

Raphael means: He is healed.

its actually really sad just to go to a dead loved one's room and just getting memories

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.

notice how his mom is using present tense instead of saying "was", or" was his" his spirit is still always there with her 😭

All this time I spent playing and not caring for PSLE, there was a boy working hard and battling through diseases. I will use this determination he had to inspire my future.

RU-vid: dear child you haven't cried for a while, Let me fix that for you

This is my classmate. God bless him in heaven.

This is heart-wrenching. No parent should bury their child. I cant even begin to imagine the parents' grief. Rest in Peace Raphael. God Bless

I felt his mom trying to hold her tears. Rest In Peace Raphael.

I've never cired so much over someone I've never met. May he rest in peace, and be in a better place. Cancer is something I want gone in this world someday, so my mother, aunt, and both grandparents can be well again. Whoever is or know someone who's fighting cancer, I hope that they know they aren't alone and they will get through this.

This just popped up on my feed 3 years later. I hope his family is healing as best they can :(

Who ever disliked this video have no brain cells to understand this

The fact he broke one of the arms on the lego figure to represent its him is just sad

OMG I can't even imagine how painful the mom felt when she was counting and introducing his stuff.... it must be full of memory...

In the background, theres a picture of Raphael with flowers next to it. It makes me sad to see such a incredible boy go through this. Him asking his mother to hug him on his last operation was so sad, as he died afterwards. His arm got amputated too... remember this, Raphael didnt die, he just finished the life long race before us, we will see him at the end. We will see him flying high... r.i..p Raphael Lee.

May Raphael Rest In Peace. I just wanted to say, I think it’s cute how he drew his dad as a stick man but for his mom, he used a monster sticker. He obviously loves his parents tons though. I can tell how the parents were trying not to cry. I also think it’s lovely how he keeps his sons room and everything he owns there, for memories!

My brother also died from bone cancer he fought for 10 years and he died five years ago. I really miss him. And this video is so inspiring 🙁😢

Im glad he was an only child. If he had a brother/sister, they would have to endure the same pain their parents are going through.

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.😭♥️

my deepest condolences for your family's loss & may your son rest in peace. Stay Strong.

I lost my son . He was 2 month old Living is sooo hard since then

I can see the mother's sadness, but it looked like she's holding her tears😭😭😭😭😭 why am I watching this during my perioddd

You can see how hard his mom was trying not to cry 😭😓😢😭😭😭😭

I broke down, wasn’t expected, this is so sad.

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

i really hate it when kids suffer from cancer.. RIP little Raphael. you've been brave enough fly high🤍

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. 🕊

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.

Omg he lives near my block! That playground he’s playing is littrately below my block! I’ve seen him before 😭omg

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.
