Irwin Memorial

Steve Irwin, 44, died Sept. 4 from the barb of a stingray while he was filming on the Great Barrier Reef. Last night DH and I watched the Memorial for Steve Irwin on Animal Planet. I totally cried my eyes out for the whole hour. My heart really aches for the loss of such a great person and for his wife and children.
The best part was when his daughter, Bindi read her words to the crowd, running her tiny finger across the paper as she went along. My daddy was my hero," she said. "He was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things, but most of all, he was fun. I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did.
"I don't want Daddy's passion to ever end. I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did. I have the best daddy in the whole world, and I will miss him every day. When I see a crocodile I will always think of him, and I know that Daddy made this zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals. Daddy made this place his whole life, and now it's our turn to help Daddy."
When Bindi finished, she wrapped her right arm around her mother's neck as a visibly upset Terri held tightly onto Bob.

The memorial was perfect, it celebrated Steve's life and is love of animals. I know people all over the world will remember Steve and his dedication to the animals. I only wished he didn't have to leave so soon.

9-11

I sit here at my desk at work and look over at my phone and see on the display Sept 11. It reminds me of the day.. the day that the world came to a stand still, where everyone was glued to their tv's. This will be a day I will never forget.. I will never forget what I was doing, where I was at or what I was feeling. Today is my husbands birthday as well, each time we tell someone his birthday they refer back to this tradegic day in history. Each year it brings back all those emotions of seeing all those families affected by this day. I Remember seeing that last plane hit the tower and then to see them crumble to the ground. These are images I will not forget, or the pain I felt watching it in disbelief. I pray we never have to experience anything like this again. I pray for the families who lost their loved ones five years ago and pray that God comforts them. We will never forget the day, the time or the place of where we were at. GOD BLESS YOU.........

Birthday Song

I celebrated another year this past weekend. It's starting to hit me - I'm getting old!!! Especially when my daughter says, Mum you're getting wrinkles and gray hair! Thanks.....

Hubby and I went golfing on Saturday to celebrate our birthdays, his birthday is today. The weather was nice and it was perfect golf weather. Sunday I paid for it though, I was sore! I could tell I hadn't golfed in almost a year. I enjoyed it though and want to work on my game.

A friend of mine emailed me this link that let's you know what the number one song was on your birthday - pretty cool.... I went ahead and did it for the UK and USA since I am a British Citizen. I didn't think I would know what songs were number one when I was born but I do know "I shot the Sheriff".
