being around others her age and having others wait on her (more than we did). She loved the fact that she could get her hair done without going out and loved playing cards with the others there.

I also think she found comfort in there always being people with medical knowledge around. Although i was only a young teen at the time, I know even the smallest of medical problems (a nosebleed) frightened her.
