The Rashomon effect

"The visa interview for Lydick family is scheduled on March 13,2012.
Regards
Adoption Unit"

Our Embassy Interview is set.  Spring break in Ethiopia!

-----------------------------------------------

The Rashomon effect is the effect of the subjectivity of perception on recollection, by which observers of an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it.

I came across this word today at the office and feel that it is incredibly powerful as it relates to next week. 

One week from today, Kidist will be placed in our arms forever.  While our hearts have been linked to her since last June, the official "placement" day is Monday March 12th. 

My head hurts when trying to comprehend the different perspectives from which that day/week will be viewed and remembered.
