Midnight's Children

It has been some time since I read this Salmon Rushdie book about the partition of India and Pakistan. The title (If I'm remembering correctly) refers to families on opposite sides of the border who were separated from each other by the imposition of partition and the subsequent hostilities between the two countries. I'm finding it ironic but hopefully not significant that under the terms of Micah's exit visa, we have until midnight tonight, the anniversary of that date, to get our baby out of the country. Please pray for us that we're not separated from our family and home by some arbitrary beaurocrtic act tonight.......
