I know what you mean Jackee most of those people are just jealous of his success.
He has put the spot light on conservation and wildlife preservation that nobody ever thought possible.
What kind of amazed me was he really is the way he is on television even when the cameras aren't on him he was lightning in a bottle!
I agree my heart goes out to Terri and his kids which are her #1 priority.
But I also feel for Bob Irwin Steve’s father to bury your kid can't be an easy and as much as Steve died doing what he loved just doesn't cut it with me.
Yes he did love what he was doing but his family was his #1 priority and as everyone else including myself thought he was invincible and nature proved otherwise.
I said it once and I will say it again the world was a much better place with Steve in it!
Im still having problems comming to terms with his passing....
I'm a firm believer that every person who has ever lived, is living now, and who will live in the future, has a specific purpose for being here. There should not be any question as to Steve Irwin's purpose in life. He shined a light on some of the animals that mankind has villified and perhaps not taken the time to understand. And he thought they were beautiful. I can remember one show that featured a female croc who had just laid her eggs. He went on and on about what a good mother she was and "isn't she a beauty?'. I don't believe I would have given a mother croc a second of thought had anyone else been narrating that story. But for a brief moment, I was able to see the animal through his eyes. That is perhaps one of the best gifts this man has left behind.
Don't get me wrong, I love animals. In fact, I have a fridge magnet that says "the more I see of people, the more I love my dog'.
But my interest has been to the cute and fluffy, the warm & cuddly, the strong and beautiful etc. But Steve Irwin saw beauty and value in all in the animal kingdom. For me, that is what I take with me, since he has left this life.I have a whole series of political cartoons that appeared in the newspapers all over the country the day after he died. If anyone would like them, please email me and I'll send them to you. They are all touching and wonderful.
