[@eddypuentes6155]

​​​​​​@@user-vy9we1ju6jit's a shame Steve Irwin's dad treated his children so badly. Well according to Bindi her grandfather SteveIrwin's Dad never had anything nice to say to her. According to an article I read on Google. Sometimes love can't be forced upon people. I couldn't be forced to love my uncle on my dad's side of the family who I met when I was just 10 years old. You don't have to like someone because he's family. Sometimes a bond between a grandchild and his or her grandfather or grandmother happens naturally and sometimes it doesn't. I'm not affected in any way cause I'm not related. I really like Terri Irwin and her children. I have nothing bad to say about Steve Irwin's dad. It is what is. Doesn't matter who's right or not. At the end of the day people will take sides like they always do with whatever subject is being discussed.

Terri needs a lot of credit. She raised two beautiful, incredibly passionate children. On Robert's birthday, one can only see how unbelievably intelligent, well-mannered, sensitive, and articulate he is. I was a high school teacher, and only once had a student like him. I can tell how emotional he really was at seeing that video of his dad, but his excellent manners and upbringing kept him cool and in control. What a treasure to that family, and Terri must be everyday beaming with pride on earth, and Steve beaming down from heaven. Ad multos annos, as they say in Latin, to Terri, Bindi and Robert! From tragedy has come such a happy ending. :)

Robert is so well spoken, seems genuinely invested in wildlife conservation, and very humble. I’m going on 19 myself and couldn’t imagine being in the public eye like that; he seems shy but handles the attention gracefully.

[@FordFalcon54]

Not being asked to but maybe someone will get something out of it. My dad shed his mortal coil by his own choice when I was 8 I found him. Mom remarried. Step dad did a lot with me taught me a lot but was very very abusive physically and emotionally. All I ever wanted was a dad's love. I kept my heart open and I forgive my step dad. I got 2 maybe 3 years with him before he died where I was proud to call him my dad and myself his son. He was a good grandpa as well. I lost him in June of 2021 at 27 years old to a brain bleed on the tennis court and I miss him a lot more than I ever thought I would. I spent years wanting nothing to do with that man. I spent his last full day alive with him. We went to church and breakfast. I took the kids to the park and then up to his house to swim and play. Kids played dad and I sat on the deck and just talked about life stresses struggles hopes and dreams. He was my dad finally and i was his son. It was a beautiful thing for me to have that closure right before he died. Keep your heart open and choose to love people. Life is way to short and unexpected to not choose love.

It's never too late to reach that goal of yours. Even though Steve isn't with us- he lives on through the work and legacy he's left behind and he lives on in his children; especially Robert with how alike they are. If you can, definitely still go to Australia and perhaps visit the sanctuary. Heck, depending on how old you are and if you have a family of your own, show them what made you love Irwin and what he did for wildlife when you were young. That's how people like Steve live on; those of us who loved him will tell stories of him and what he did and achieved. I remember feeling so upset when hearing he'd passed away, myself and my little brother used to religiously watch Steve Irwin shows. I remember my little brother constantly playing a Wiggles ft. Steve Irwin special, every. single. day. (I can still remember a few of the songs). The world has never really quite felt the same without him - but watching the Irwin children grow as I grew up as well, it's always been so nice and reassuring to see that Steve's legacy has continued and that his family are well and healthy.
