After the morning staff meeting, I reviewed calculations 'til 11 a.m. Then I returned clients' phone calls and emails, placed calls regarding quarterly taxes coming due, and made one last special call to confirm my luncheon appointment. Let's call her Marcia (confidentiality and all). She'd been the anchorwoman for a South Bay network affiliate station. Now she consults for its news division and occasionally reads its editorials, PSA's and community event announcements. Last year she appeared in a documentary on bullying in schools that made me (and three other insomniac fans of the Four-in-the-morning local line-up) cry. Marcia had made good financial moves. Her insurance guy had contingencies now kicking in for retirement. She had put her kids through East Coast colleges on investments we'd nursed and monitored for twenty years. Her husband seemed so much older now. He'd struck a dashing figure with her in the day, but he was deteriorating fast. She was distraught about his situation. Using proceeds of a Long-Term Care policy and Medicare, she'd brought in 'round the clock nurses as he wandered the one-way street of Alzheimer's disease. With progressive dementia, her once-rational executive and family man was uncontrollable, alternating childlike tantrums, violent episodes with the caregivers, pajama-clad escapes to relive his jogger days, and plaintive wailing for his mother or boyhood friends. Marcia had resisted placing the poor man in a nursing facility, but now she faced the reality that his care would wipe her out and leave her homeless if she did commit him and he languished there in ignorance of himself for even five years. To avoid attracting the attention of her waning celebrity status, she'd called in a favor from the network. A news chopper waited on the painted concrete pad atop the Embarcadero high rises. I boarded in the subdued dark blue suit I keep in my office closet and carried only a half-size folio notepad. This was hand-holding, not green eye-shade work. Soaring down the peninsula under low clouds, I marveled how differently the crow (or 'copter) flies compared to how the car crawls down 101 from The City. A cabbie picked me up gateside at SJC, and ten more minutes found me at Olympia Bistro on a busy, renovated corner of Downtown San Jose. I'd reserved and would pay for the bistro's private back-room. We would sit in a darkened corner booth while she repeated her dark, anxious fears. Then she might relive some tearful good ol' days. She enjoyed a good dance, so I'd asked the owners to play the Tennessee Waltz over the sound system after dessert and coffee. I rose, offered my hand and coaxed her up. I hoped she could close her eyes and pretend it was her husband, back on his feet in days gone by. After some quiet tears on my shoulder, we sat down again, and I showed her a list of items that would come due for the firm's accounting services in the coming year. After each item, I notated "pb" and a four-digit code. She'd calmed down enough to nod, don the stylish bifocals hanging from the chain around her neck and begin transferring notes to her own planner. "Please, don't do that," I smiled gently "'pb' is for pro-bono. I'm charging those items to my company card." Marcia started to protest, but I hushed her, "Listen - you're near retirement. You should be traveling and kicking your heels up. So... your husband is in the nursing home. You don't pay me a cent. It's my pleasure. Marcia, you deserve better." Drained but demure, she managed a whispered "Thank you", spoken by thinning lips and expressive brown eyes. Her cab was waiting in the back alley. I walked her to the car, hoping that the fees I'd forgone would make a real difference. The sky darkened as I walked around the corner. A drizzle began to wet my shoulders and lapels again, mixing with Marcia's tears. Another half-block and my own cab waited to whisk me back to the airport, and reality, where I never speak of my clients. |
