when i first heard of it on the radio, it felt so surreal. he just seemed so invincible, you know, that i thought that it just couldn't be the same steve irwin. i just doubted what i was hearing for a while.
you're so right -it is an incredible loss to society. what an amazing man. i now so many will miss him dearly, but i also know that he left behind an undeniable legacy that will never be erased or forgotten.
it is ironic, like you said. crazy. of all things, you know... makes you wonder about a lot of things. my heart goes out to his family. they were like the perfect family and you could see how much they loved each other. he and his wife were best friends. i know she will do a wonderful job at raising their children, but i feel so bad because i can't imagine (nor do i ever want to know) how she must be feeling with the loss of her beloved husband.
i can't understand why it happened. why him, you know? i still can't believe it. i'm rambling now, just so many feelings and thoughts about it. makes me really take inventory, though.
My children have been having a hard time with this loss. They loved watching him on television as all boys do. My 12 year old boy came home from school still distressed about it. I guess it may bring back memories of the loss of their father 2 years ago. We can keep asking "why" but we may never know. Life goes on and I hope his wife and children can move forward. The sad thing is that the little boy is so young to have any true memories of his father. So sad!
my heart goes out to your babies, especially your 12 year old. poor sweety. i'm so sorry they lost their dad, to you also. i imagine this is, indeed, hitting him pretty bad. i was just reading about how children mourn loss, and apparently it's a common belief that they mourn in repetitive cycles, unlike adults. whenever something happens (like steve irwin's unfortunate passing), they will mourn their original loss, all over again.
i don't know how exact or true that is, but it made me think of it. i hope his wife terri and kids can move forward also. terri always looked so strong and well adjusted on the show, so i have a feeling she is going to be the rock they need. it is so sad. i still can't believe it.
