“Happy birthday to the greatest dad and Wildlife Warrior,” Bindi wrote.
“Today I’ll watch The Crocodile Hunter with Grace Warrior [Bindi’s daughter] and share stories about her incredible Grandpa Crocodile.”
“I love you with all my heart. Your legacy lives on.”
I’m going to need a hot second because this beautiful message and reminder of Steve Irwin has me low-key sobbing at my desk.
On the 15th anniversary of Steve’s death last year, Bindi also shared that Grace “lights up seeing her ‘Grandpa Crocodile’ on-screen.”
She also believes that her father is now Grace’s guardian angel, “watching over the most special part of my life.”
Bindi’s birthday tribute struck an emotional chord with her followers, who shared their own birthday wishes and love for The Crocodile Hunter in the comments.
Happy birthday to Steve Irwin! You may be gone, but your impact and love for animals will never be forgotten. 💛
