Without sounding like a glory hunter, I must confess that I too need some positive affirmation from people whom I have helped. Sometimes in my journey to help others, I always wonder if my suggestions had helped them in anyway.
Recently a lady name Miss Tan called me. She got my number from a cousin who was a former colleague of my cousin. Her situation was that her father was very ill and many of his organs were failing and needed a home with proper medical care. She had searched high and low but found none as she also wanted a single room as her father also had weak immune system and will get flu quite easily.
She contacted me and I found another wonderful friend who managed a successful nurse company with over 600 nurses. My friend sacrificed a double room to make it single for Miss Tan and gaver her a very big discount.
Later Miss Tan called me and asked me , " How did you get the special deal for me? I contacted this company (my friend) and they cannot accommodate me?" I replied, "My friend and I went go back a long way." Miss Tan was happy and I will share screenshots of our conversation.
This was the first communication between Miss Tan's cousin and myself.
This message from Miss Tan and Wai Teck is her cousin, and he was my cousin's ex colleague. Never mind the tongue twister.
My reply to Miss Tan
After visiting Miss Tan's dad, My friend who owned the centre took me for a free lunch.
About a month later mid July 2018
This was our final communication.
It was a happy sad ending for Miss Tan, Happy that her dad no longer suffered. Sad that he was gone. To all those who had passed my way, may God bless you and your family and thank you for your encouragements through social media or otherwise. Your encouragements gave me strength to carry on.
