I Met This Lady

Yesterday at work a client called in for help with her investments. I gave her the information, I showed her some options, I directed her to speak with a financial adviser to get the best coverage. She said she was going through some issues, she said it more than once. Then she said she was going through a divorce. I asked her how she was doing. She was born in 1950, that makes her 62. She had been married for 40 years. She said she thinks she is doing okay, or at least she will be. I do try to keep work just work, but sometimes it gets real life. I told her I was on the happy side of divorce for more than two years now. And that the life adventure is so much sweeter now. She said that she just took a trip to New York with her grown son. She had a wonderful time. And on this trip she realized that "sometimes husbands are just extra baggage hanging on your ass!" She caught me off guard on that, I laughed and laughed. I agreed with her completely, and let her know I though her finances and she would be just fine. Some people make me LOVE my job!!!
