The mum of four-year-old twin girls who tragically died in a house fire has listed the heartbreaking things she will "no more" have.
Sisters Ophelia and Tarrow died when a fire broke out in their bedroom in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia while they were staying with their dad James Wright.
Their mum Akira Garton wrote "no more mumma ... no more hands ... no more smiles, no more dancing, no more moments like this" in a devastating post online.
It is believed a candle placed on a piano was the cause of the fire on Sunday, according to reports.
There’s no suggestion of any wrongdoing and no charges have been laid in the accident, reports say.
Ambulance crews attempted CPR on the little girls but devastatingly they were unable to be revived.
“Thank you for every thought, word, text, missed call and gesture,” their mother Akira wrote on Tuesday morning, 7 news reports.
“Words cannot express waking up to Day 3 of these beautiful bunnikins not here ... no more mumma ... no more hands ... no more smiles, no more dancing, no more moments like this, happy, so happy - October 13 2021.
“I’m devastated. It was too early. I never thought I’d use social media to communicate this.
“I will try to respond when I can and have words beyond disbelief.”
A gofundme page has been set up to help the grieving mum.
The page says: "Every mother’s worst nightmare suddenly became reality for our darling Akira on Sunday morning (7th November) when she heard the news that her 4 year old twin girls had lost their lives in a house fire in Goonengary, NSW, Australia.
"Tarrow and Ophelia were bright, playful, identical twins that had a sparkle in their eyes and angelic features.
"They loved and adored their older sister Maitreya so so much… just as they were loved and adored by all close to them.
"There is no word in English for a parent who loses their child, and there shouldn’t be. It is an unthinkable tragedy.
"Akira and her family are shattered to the core; they have an unbearable amount of grief to carry and heartbreaking pain to endure."
Friends of the twins' dad have also set up a fundraiser to help him cover upcoming expenses.
The gofundme says: :Early on Sunday morning November the 7th our dear Jimmi lost his darling girls, Ophelia and Tarrow to a tragic house fire.
"These beautiful little fairies left this earth too soon, and the loss for Jimmi and family is unspeakable.
"It is now for us, his friends and family, to come together and create a legacy of lasting love and support.
"Aside from the onslaught of grief and sorrow, that is already devastating the family, there is an impending slew of debt, funeral costs, and day-to-day expenses that we hope to cover through this collection."
