Elegy for the Crocodile Hunter
Mark Roberts posts a nice elegy for Steve Irwin here. He closes with these words:
What makes me saddest about Steve Irwin’s death isn’t my loss, or the world’s loss of an entertaining naturalist, but rather the loss suffered by his wife and two young children. This is especially poignant for me as someone with a wife and two children. I’m reminded that life is unpredictable, and that I can’t guarantee how many days I have left on this earth. So, in memory of Steve Irwin, today I will delight more in the good things of this life. Most of all, I will hug, not crocodiles, since I don’t have any of these around, but rather my wife and kids. I will treasure the time I have with them even more because of Steve Irwin. Thanks, mate!
