Bye, Crikey...

Kept trying to come here and put this, but put it off until now.  Everyone knows by now, of course, but Steve Irwin aka The Crocodile Hunter, died Monday morning.  He was filming a segment under the sea and came to close to a stingray, who's barb pierced through his heart.  It's said that he died instantly.  He leaves behind his wife, Terry, daughter, Bindi (age 7), and son, Bob (almost 3).  Altho not terribly surprising that he's been taken doing what he loved (working with animals, especially dangerous ones), it's still extremely sad.  God bless his family & friends, and God bless him.

As soon as I heard this news early Monday morning, it immediately made me feel sad.  Steve Irwin had such a likeable personality - you couldn't help but be drawn in by him & his enthusiasm when it came to the wildlife.  He died loving what he did - how many of us can say we follow our true passion in life & live it on a daily basis?  Not many.  He was unique - one of a kind & will be greatly missed.
