And then there are other people who leaves a lasting impression because you know nothing about them. I have been working closely with a young lawyer over the past few years. He is charming, friendly, a gentleman, has a fine sense of humour, you name it. In fact, in his own dry words: every mother-in-law's dream. Attractive to boot. However, last November, his father passed away. He heard the news while we were still working, but no-one found out about it because he kept up the facade. We only heard about it later when he excused himself for a few days. Suddenly we all realized that we knew nothing about him. His father had apparently been ill for a long time. He kept it to himself.
