To me, death is part and parcel of life - it can come anytime, and when least expected.
However, last night, the announcement in television about the death of Steve Irwin a.k.a Crocodile Hunter http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/9/5/apworld/15335877&sec=apworld was a real shocker to me.
I do not know why but somehow, I guess, I do not expect Steve Irwin to die from such an incident. Or maybe, somewhere in the deep recess of my mind, I know he would die. But not now!....
Anyway, that was the thing - that I am saddened by his death because Emma and Aidan may not know Crocodile Hunter as Ash would; at least not by watching his 'just shot last month' television shows.
Also, he was a naturalist and who don't like naturalist?
This is Steve with his American wife Terri and son Robert. His daughter Bindi Sue (eldest) is not in the picture.
