On Friday morning, we had an agency meeting. Halfway through the meeting, Agent K started feeling unwell, and her husband J (who is also my agent) took her to see a doctor. That evening, I received a call from J—he was at GMC Hospital with K. He had just been contacted by their family doctor, who shared that K’s blood test results showed signs of leukemia, though further confirmation was still needed. The final result would be available in two hours.
Me: "Whatever the result is, we will accept it and face it together."
The diagnosis was acute leukemia, and treatment was required by the following Monday. J and I went for a second opinion on Saturday, and J decided to begin treatment at GMC. He needed to prepare RM240,000 for the full cost of treatment. Fortunately, since both J and K were well insured, they decided to proceed.
K responded well to treatment, and they eventually moved into a new house. We celebrated both her recovery and their housewarming together.
Two years later, K began showing symptoms of a stroke and was admitted to the hospital once again. She was diagnosed with a recurrence of leukemia. On the third day, she fell into a coma. For the next 28 days, we all took turns donating platelets, supporting her as best we could—until she took her last breath.
The total medical bill came to around RM60,000. We said our final goodbye, sending her off on her eternal holiday.
K was one of my very best business partners. She had a caring and loving heart, a strong learning attitude, and a quiet yet warm presence. She was always smiling. We shared many memories together on company trips to places like Hokkaido, Egypt, Spain, and Turkey.
Thankfully, she experienced some of the best and most vibrant years of her insurance career before her long farewell.
She will always be in our hearts, and we will love her forever.
