I used to frequent the hospital for sick children in D.C. and it was depressing BREAKBOY Posted at 10:01 am on July 5, 2009 Smile! Monroe Posted at 10:01 am on July 5, 2009 I don't think you will know what to expect until you get there. Just keep your heart open and show the same love and support to every person you meet. They've probably gone through a really rough time, and what they need is someone who is understanding and someone who offers unconditional support and encouragement. But not to forget, they want to be treated like everyone else. They don't want to feel like they stand out or are different.   (: Good luck, I'm sure you'll have a great time.
