It has been 10 years since Steve Irwin passed away. He was known for being a crocodile hunter. He also helped open the Australian Zoo. When he passed away, thousands of people mourned his death. Not only was he a wildlife expert, but he was also a devoted husband and father. Steve’s daughter, Bindi, was just eight-years-old when her father passed away.
Hello lovelies. Well today marks 18 years of life for me, here in Australia and I really don’t know where to begin in thanking so many people for an unforgettable journey so far.
So I think that I’ll start here, with this photograph. This photo was taken within the first year of my life. To be perfectly honest life has changed in a million ways since this photograph was taken. Along the way we gained another incredible part of our family, my brother Robert. Our conservation work with Wildlife Warriors took off around the world. Our home, Australia Zoo continued to expand and has become the greatest zoological facility on planet earth. Our Dad, Mum’s soulmate and a superhero for us all, passed away. However, since this photo was taken, 18 years ago, one life ingredient has remained, unchanged, unbreakable.
That is the unconditional love that is shared between my beautiful little family and the loyalty we have to eachother and everyone else who has taken this journey with us. I don’t think that when this photo was taken even my beautiful parents could have known what life would evolve. I know that I am endlessly grateful for the love and light I have been given since Day 1 of my life.
Even though Steve was only in his daughter’s life for eight years, he taught her a lot. Steve passed his love for wildlife down to his daughter. Bindi has been striving to follow in her father’s footsteps. She did a special tribute to her father on her 18th birthday. She posted a photo on her Instagram account of her father and mother holding her when she was a baby.
….leading on from my last post, I have so much happiness in my heart for the journey to come. Being 18 and embarking upon my adult years, I can’t predict what life will have in store for me. All I know is that I will try my very best to make a difference in this world with each moment that I’m given. Life is constantly evolving and I’m determined to find the light and love around every corner and share this with everyone who is a part of my story. Thank you so much to every single soul who took the time to read these last two posts, it means so much. I can’t wait to see what is yet to come.
Bindi wrote that there is one thing that remains unchanged since her father’s passing, and that is the unconditional love shared between the family members. She posted another photo of her and a tiger. She stated that she is 18 and does not know what the future holds for her. She also stated that she is determined to find love and light in every corner and share it with everyone in her life.
