STEVE Irwin and his daughter shared an unbreakable bond. In his last interview, Irwin told marie claire magazine of the amazing love.
“DON’T get hurt like your Daddy.”
These are the eerie words of warning Steve Irwin had for his children just days before he did get hurt and left them behind forever.
“I’m one for sharing my life and giving her knowledge along the way,” he said of eight-year-old Bindi in his final magazine interview.
“My big educational message for her right now is, ‘Don’t get hurt like your Daddy’. I get hurt a lot.”
It is the fatherly advice Bindi Irwin and her brother Bob will now no doubt live by from a man whose family was paramount to all he did.
“The sun rises and sets with my daughter Bindi, it really does. I just long to be with her - I always have, I think I always will,” he told the September edition of marie claire for a Dads and Daughters special.
In the unedited transcript of the interview with features editor Jessica Parry, Irwin and his daughter speak of an almost unearthly bond.
“I’ll do anything to be with my daughter Bindi,” Irwin said.
“We hang out together, we play together, we work together. And I guess I’ve been really lucky I’ve been able to film all over the world - but right now at this stage of my life all I want to do is film with Bindi, we have the best time together.
“We do everything together … we have breakfast together, she’ll go to school, I’ll go to work and we’ll have morning tea together and then lunch together.”
Irwin agreed to the father-daughter interview only because it was “something he and Bindi could do together”.
Asked when Bindi makes him most proud, Irwin replied simply: “Every single morning when I wake up.” [Source]
