When mama was fussing with me to come and watch what's on the news, i just shrugged tiredly and thought "what could be so important?
Then she said "Look who died"
That piqued my interest instantly, then when i saw who it was i became speechless. A wave of disbelief washed over me. Still reeling from shocked i asked the question out loud " He died? Its not a joke at all right??" of course my parents did not anwser that question, i mean its on the bulletin news for goodness sake how can that be a sick joke??
It was hard to digest that Steve Irwin had died. No i am not someone who knows him personally nor am i a great environmentalist who is a fan of his. I am just someone who admire the work he had done and the courage that comes along with it. Sometimes when i watch his shows, things like "What was he thinking??" or "Whoa im amazed!" came into mind. Certain people might assume that he was just another jovial clown who was putting his life on the line with all the dangerous animals he came in contact with. But he was no clown, this what you call Passion for the very thing he enjoys doing every minute. And he died doing what he loves doing..That man deserves that much of a credit.
And one of the many reasons why its so hard to believe he was killed was because my little darling nephew (who is just one and half years old by the way) simply enjoys watching his educational kids show.
Since it will always be telecast before his other favourite programme Sesame Street, Rayyan will always giggle when Steve will play tease with the animals and sometimes stare in awe at the various weird looking animals that came on screen. Yeps he likes the show that much. And the most endearing part is, it was due to this Steve Irwin's programme that Rayyan and me shared a common joke, our favourite joke, it's a croc joke with me telling him if he's naughty the croc will come and bite him and that will always get him bursting into giggles while i tickle him silly. And while i may still have the common joke going on, the difference is my little one who loves the man friendly voice don't know that he had died tragically.
My condolence goes out to the family who had been humble and brave during this difficult period.
p/s: psst..only my little rayyan will look that adorable with his nose dripping wet in the photos above. Yes even no other men who i favour can ever look this good ;)
