Another Tor.com short story
Okay, I'm not sure I got most of the themes of this story. It seems to be about what you leave behind and maybe also the right to die when and how you want? Or maybe the value of to much technology and modification? I think a stronger background in Sci fi might have helped.

I really liked this one. The scifi is all around the edges because mostly this is a very finely drawn, almost claustrophobic view of a multi-generation family.

A wonderful meander through a family re-union centered around a father figure (who just happens to be mostly machine now). I found the writing style to be emotive - but the story itself pulled on my heart strings, whilst not reaching any discernable conclusion plot-wise.
