Cecilia: Lux lost it over Kevin Haynes, the garbageman. She'd wake up at 5 in the morning and lay about on the front porch like it wasn't completely obvious!

Narrator: So much has been said about the girls over the years. But we have never found an answer. It didn't matter in the end how old they were, or that they were girls... but only that we had loved them... and that they hadn't heard us calling. Still do not hear us calling them from out of those rooms... where they went to be alone for all time... and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together.

Narrator: Collecting everything we could of theirs, the Lisbon girls wouldn't leave our minds but they were slipping away.

We would have lost them completely if the girls hadn't contacted us.
