All the way from the East Coast of the US we're still feeling the loss of Steve Irwin. We've purchased all of the DVDs we can find so that there's never a time that he won't be available to us. He once called his mother "mother nature", I believe that he was seeing his reflection. He's opened so many eyes and minds (especially ours) to the creatures around us that every encounter, with even the most seemingly of common insects, feels like a blessing in some way. God bless the Irwins and his close friends. We miss him too. We'll never forget or let him down. We'll stand with you.

1 Year ago this world lost a great man, coming from England I never had the chance to personally meet Steve, but I felt I knew him..He had the power to draw you in to every TV show he made...his excitement and enthusiasm was contagious, it didn't matter what the show was about, it was the message that you were being taught , without actually realizing it...

Steve died doing what he loved best, now we should all give 100% to continue his dream..Together we can do our bit to help Terri continue the work Steve started, to educate people that we need to protect our wildlife, and save our planet.

Steve, you will forever be missed and never forgotten...With love to the Irwin family...

Northamptonshire, England

A bit over a year ago, we lost a man who, to the animal world, was as great a loss as Princess Diana was to the human world.

A hero, guardian, protector, friend, warrior, wonderful daddy, the fantastic love of Terri's life, he touched each and everyone of us. He helped us reach out to a world humans don't normally touch. He helped us to slow down and see the wonder of the animal world, the passion, fierceness, beauty and love.

On the morning of the anniversary of his passing, my son AJ (2 1/2 years old) saw a preying mantis in our neighbor's driveway. He pointed, saying "Steve, momma." Translation: Please move the bug.

AJ is a child that isn't suppose to be alive, thankfully he is. I have learned to see the world all over again through his eyes, and he is seeing things most adults miss, ignore or pass by. I was watching Steve long before AJ was born, and AJ watched him (still does) before he left our planet.

He gets excited when the shows come on and manages to teach me something new each day about the creatures in our world. Steve did this also and made sure we all knew of his love for all of them, no matter what they were.

Thank you so very much Steve, Terri, Bindi, Robert and Grandpa Bob for showing my son and I the wonder and beauty of this place. Steve will always be missed, but not as much as if his entire legacy collapsed with him.

Thank you for having the strength and the desire to carry on, and hopefully in the near future, AJ and I will be able to come see your world close up.
