Wildlife Warrior




I just finished watching the Barbara Walter's Special on Steve Irwin. His wife, Terri, told the story of how they met and how he proposed marriage. She also told some very touching stories about life with Steve and all the while her face was grief stricken. She kept breaking down into tears but she continued to tell the stories. I could tell how important it is to her that those stories are told.
I kept wiping tears from my face but I continued listening to her stories because I think it's important those stories are heard.
I find it terribly sad that such an amazing and enthusiastic conservationist and person has been lost, but more so, I am sad about the heartache Terri and his two children are feeling.

I never knew him or Terri personally but my heart just splits and breaks wide open when I see someone in so much pain.
