Inside the Virgin Suicides

Good Morning,
Let me introduce myself, I am or rather was a mother of 5 lovely girls. Cecilia, Lux, Bonnie, Mary, and Therese. I loved them with all my heart.
They were so beautiful and innocent, I thought that the only way to show I cared was to protect them.
You know, The world is a pretty evil place, that's what my preacher always says. I wanted my girls to have lives and to live them to the fullest. Where did I go wrong? I just loved them so much.
When boys started being interested in my daughters, it scared me. Cecilia, she couldnt care less, but the others and oh especially Lux, they just couldn't get enough of those boys. I loved them more then just sitting around and doing nothing.
After Cecilia jumped, Mr. Lisbon drew away from me and the rest of the girls. It was hard doing everyhting by myself.
I often wonder if my girls knew how much I loved them? I tried to show it. You see, if the ocean was my love for them, it would still overflow. I just miss them so much. I'm sorry. I'm sorry girls, I'm sorry.
