R.I.P. STEVE IRWIN

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Steve Irwin's death yesterday. I was quite ataken back when I read it and my heart raced and my stomach hurt and I felt sick at reading that he died. It was the biggest shock ever and I am upset about it and I am not too proud to admit that, I sure as hell could of done with a hug when I read that.
Steve was a unique character and I loved watching the TV shows he did as I found them very interesting and informative too. Also when he went on TV chat shows he was always great to watch and I thought he was a little crazy but he knew what he was doing and was a fountain of knowledge when it came to animals. I feel like we were truly blessed to have known such a character as Steve Irwin.
Of course my thoughts go out to his wife and his 2 young children. His 9 year old got to know him for 9 years but he has a young boy called Bob and he is only about 3 so he is going to grow up not knowing about Steve in the way all children should know their fathers and it is a shame but I guess the only thing is there is hundreds of hours of footage of Steve and peoples fond thoughs about him that will help Bob (and Bindi) know and learn all there was to know about Steve.
It is such a tragic loss of life.
