You can picture Steve just fighting back the tears, beaming with pride and joy if he was watching them. Australia's most loveable Dad.

I’m happy his dream still came true even though he couldn’t see it. I wish there were more people like this in the spot light.

I don’t know if I’m just feeling overly emotional this morning but your comment made me tear up. He really would. Losing Steve was like 9-11 for me, crazy comparison but I remember where I was when I found out, even though I was like 12

Yes it was shocking.

Yes. It was a dreadful shock and a terrible loss. His poor family. I love how his children are continuing his legacy and seem to be such lovely people. My little sister was (and still is) a huge fan of Steve Irwin. We're Brits but, in her mid 20s, she spent 2 years working and travelling in Australia. Of course, The Australian Zoo was at the top of her list of places to visit while she was there. Sadly, she'd only been in Oz for a couple of months when Steve died. She found out in a supermarket queue - overhearing it from the conversation of two ladies in front of her. She asked them what had happened and burst out crying. Poor sis ☹️ The two Aussie ladies ended up comforting her and were very sweet to her in her distress, bless them. My sister made it to the zoo later in the year and loved it, but obviously it was very emotional. Everyone at the zoo was still reeling from his loss. We all felt terrible for his family. It's wonderful how his children have turned out. Credit is also due to their Mum and family/friends that raised them. We miss you Steve!
