I met with my pro bono client yesterday. The neighborhood had a C-Town and a Kennedy Fried Chicken. There were churches in strip malls with awnings.
My client was very sweet. I had a checklist with me of questions to ask, but once she told me that she didn't have a bank account, I skipped most of them. She mostly wanted to divide up her personal possessions and get a living will in order because she's ill.
On my way out, she said, "Thank you and God bless you."
It definitely made me smile. I've worked for lots of different types of clients before, but nobody has ever said, "God bless you" before.
Maybe she'll take it back once she sees a draft of my work.
