Irwin's death

I watched Terri Irwin's interview with Ray tonight on channel 9.

During the memorial thing they did for Steve, Bindi wrote a letter/poem about her dad. She waited for the crowd to stop applauding before starting. She's just 8 reading with her pointy finger over each word she had written. I thought to myself, she seems to be very strong and collected personality. She is. Almost just like her father, how we know him. She looks everything like her father.

My thoughts, my prayers, goes to you, Bindi.
Your strength, your wisdom, your passion, your optimism, I share them with you.

Terri spoke and walked us out into the journey of her's and Steve's. And how she saw him through her eyes. His joyous spirit, his tough times, their thoughts, their promises, the kids BobBob and Bindi, his humility, his spontaneity and how she can go on and on talking about him. Describing him through her eyes just as we see him. They both joked about how he would die. He said it would be from a car crash and Terri said he'll fall off a tree. But never by animals. He was never stung by a venomous snake. He was a professional.

Terri ended the interview by saying she has to climb this mountain by herself, and to me, she's climbing the mountain herself with millions of people around the world, holding hands below every step of climb she takes.

Steve Irwin died Sept 4th, 2006.
