Страшно даже представить, какво е преживяла. Осколъкът, който още си стои в тялото, сигурно ѝ напомня всеки ден. Дано намери мир.

Oricât de greu ar fi, cred că acel șrapnel care a rămas în ea o ține legată de ziua aceea în fiecare dimineață când se trezește. Mi se pare cumplit ce-a îndurat la Bесlan. Să-i dea Dumnezeu putere să trăiască mai departe cu el.

Yes, Teodora, I thought the same thing – that shrapnel probably wakes her up in pain every morning and takes her right back to September 1st, 2004. I read that Irina learned to live with it, but still...what a burden. God help her bear it more easily.
