its not fair
Its not fair that Steve Irwin, a living legend had to die. What did he ever do to deserve to die? Nothing, thats what, nothing. I loved Steve, I was his biggest fan ever. My dream was to go to Australia and meet him, but i can't now, I was crushed when I heard he was dead. I was crying and crying. Everynight now, I pray for him, his family, I just hope nothing happens to his family. I will miss him forever, no matter what happens, he will always be in my heart. -Chelsey For Bob, Terri, Bindi, and Baby Bob, i wish you guys the best of luck
