Goodbye, Steve
I was saddened by the death of Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter. I always liked and respected him. I watched his shows and really thought he was a good man. He's also a father to two young children.
As I watched a tribute to him on Animal Planet tonight, I sobbed as his wife Terry described the bond between him and his daughter. She also described him as her soul mate, and the best father ever. I can't imagine the pain his family is feeling tonight. His son will never know him. He can never walk his daughter down the aisle. I pray that we are always here for Olivia, but you just never know.
P.S. Vote for Olivia! (see my sidebar at the top for details).

Posted by: Lisanne at September 5, 2006 01:44 PMHate to hate on him, but he was asking for it...does anyone remember the controversy over him holding his newborn infant over a huge crocodiles head? Although interesting to watch, he was not careful and respectful of nature, and ended up getting his wish...he always said he'd probably go in the line of duty...sorry to say, you reep what you sew...
Posted by: Meggie at September 6, 2006 06:16 PMWow Hannah, what you wrote about Steve Irwin made me teary eyed. I think he was Super careful when dealing with animals. He explained how to deal with poisonous snakes and how to approach deadly crocodiles. He also would detail how to treat a bite from venomous snakes and other interesting things about deadly animals.
