0:46Now PlayingA pair of beloved 4-year-old Florida twins suffocated after falling asleep in their wooden toy chest last month, their devastated mother confirmed in a wrenching Facebook post this week.
“Not many will know the pain of losing two children at the same time, and losing them in a way that makes no sense, but I have to believe that something in this universe chose them specifically, maybe to protect them from some future tragedy, or maybe because their souls were too perfect for this world,” Sadie Myers wrote.
The dedicated parent was at work last Friday night when her husband, Don Starr, put the twins — Aurora, a girl, and Kellan, a boy — and their two older brothers to bed for the night.
Starr worked during the day while his wife toiled at night to avoid having to leave their children with a baby-sitter, said her sister, Deanna Myers.

Myers wrote that the closely bonded siblings routinely rose at odd hours and she would find them sleeping in various places in the morning with toys strewn about their shared room.
