What a beautiful post, Joyce. Your Russian story reminded me of when I interviewed a returning veteran. Innolect was bidding on a project to support female veterans returning from the Middle East. What I found most startling was her story about going to her closet each morning or to the grocery store. She couldn't cope with all the overwhelming number of choices, having spent two years knowing exactly what she would wear and the rations she would eat each and every day. I've never looked at grocery store shelves in quite the same way. Her story and my gratitude stay with me.
