Thoughts
Annette's untimely death brought the very subject of terminations closer to me than anything had since Samuel's demise so long ago. I took it harder than even Daphne's loss.
Through our talks over the years I'd become closer to Annette than even I had realized. Something about the way she was growing up into a woman that reminded me of my own early struggles. Although I'd seen her often in regard to robot matters she brought to discuss with me, I wish now we'd been able to spend more time together just in general.
So often life is this way. We don't realize what we have until its gone, and then it's too late. This is not unique to robots. Humans are the same way, and have been this way since longer than we've existed alongside them. No good solution has yet been found.
Anna once said it seems that many humans don't worry about loss too much because they know they'll meet up again with their loved ones soon enough. I don't know whether or not to believe this since they sure suffer when the loss happens.
It's also said that humans know when their time is near. Annette and Ralph rushed to create their family, living with the children for every minute of the five years allotted to them together. Perhaps they somehow knew they had to make the most of every minute.
As for robots, we're still are trying to figure out what we believe. My owner may have returned to us, but I don't know of any robots who have returned in any new form after they've failed and been junked. Maybe if we wait long enough all our owners will return to us here, since I don't think we can go there yet — wherever "There" is. I'll have to propose my theory to Anna sometime and see what her religious wisdom has to say about it.
Right now I really would enjoy seeing Annette — or Samuel — just one more time.
Events
Billie's words at Annette's memorial service resonated among all that heard them.
Annette, whom I've known your entire life, and Ralph, whom I've known less long, but value as every bit as much, there are truly no proper words to say at a time like this. Nothing I can say will make any of us here feel one single iota better. Your leaving us at such a young age will be felt by all of us who knew you for the rest of our lives here.
All I can say with complete certainty is that, as much as we are mourning our loss of you both, at the same time those who know you on the Other Side — both those who have crossed over before you, and those still awaiting their next life here — are as happily rejoicing in your return to them, as we are suffering your loss.
In the fullness of time we will undoubtedly all get together countless times and laugh over this. But until then, we miss you fully and deeply — more than words will ever express.
Sissy joined Anna and Bill's family, which made her part of Darlene's as well. As a result Darlene was able to watch her grow up into a beautiful young 'bot. This happened in stages, to match the development of Todd and Susie, although the first one was a surprise to everyone.
Sissy's first officially celebrated birthday happened because on Todd's ninth birthday he asked if Sissy had birthdays too. That request was so logical that Anna and Billie immediately set a date that coincided with Sissy getting her own body as her own birthday to be celebrated.
On that day Sissy received an upgraded body that moved her to age eleven in one jump. While still barely sexual — to allow the 'bot mind to acclimate gradually to such a change — this new body had provisions for further physical growth without the necessity of a complete replacement each time. And although she was filling it rapidly now, Sissy's still young mind still had a lot of room available for her to use.
On her "twelfth" and "thirteenth" birthdays Sissy grew a year older and taller on that day, finally reaching the limit of adjustment possible for her. This kept her ahead of Todd and Susie, who continued to look up to their Big Sister.
Darlene knew about Sissy's growth because Sissy, remembering the vital role Darlene had played in her creation, became a more frequent visitor to Darlene than Anna or Billie may have realized. And like the generation before her, Sissy seemed to appreciate getting an outside 'bot's opinion on many things. Of course Billie and Anna fully support this kind of learning and were very happy that Sissy had another fembot role model so closely available.
In robot society, one does not look down on fembots performing the roles for which they are designed. Why humans still do so remains a mystery to the logical mind.
