Loading ...My wife and I learned with dismay that Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died in a terrible accident this morning doing what he loved to do. Although we rarely saw his work, we both found him to be very entertaining. While reading some of the news stories today, all of them mentioned that Steve leaves behind his wife and two small children, Bindi (age 8 ) and Robert (age 2).
A few years ago, Steve’s death wouldn’t have bothered me as much as it has. But perhaps not surprisingly, the words “leaves behind two small children” have taken on a completely new and heart-wrenching meaning.

Doesn’t that just break your heart, when you hear about people passing away and their children being left behind? A state trooper here was killed and died the other day, and he left behind a 13-month-old. My God, that was just awful to hear. I cried.
