RIP
To Steve Irwin:
You are a beautiful person. Your love and caring for animals has been translated to millions of people all over the world. You have inspired good people. You are a great person. This enormous loss to the world has devastated me. I've never felt this way about someone I didn't know. You passion and devotion to your work has influenced me and countless others. I grew up watching your program. Your caring and humor are the outstanding qualities that make you so phenomenal. This semi-eulogy isn't eloquent enough and doesn't have enough emotion to jusitfy your wholesome and pure and amazing life, but I hope it expresses my grief and I hope it does some kind of justice to your memory.
Sincerely Rest In Peace. You will be loved forever.
To Terri, Bindi, and Robert Irwin:
I am so sorry. The world has lost so much today, and you have felt it so harshly. I cannot possibly speak for you or offer advice, but know that you have my sympathies and condolences. May you all follow Steve's way of life and remember him as the wonderful person he is.
