You never know what someone may be going through. Some people like to keep severe health issues quiet.
Recently had a meeting with a client about preparing his tax return.
He mentioned that he hadn't been working recently and had received disability payments due to being diagnosed with cancer.
He was keeping this information private, only for those who needed to know.
A half hour later, I had a meeting with another client. He said the same thing, but about his wife.
Young people with young families. It was heartbreaking to hear, especially one after another!
It was a real lesson, to be extra considerate of everyone, and to appreciate what we take for granted in life.
