It’s hard to believe that it has now been 16 years since we lost Steve Irwin.
Steve changed the way the world viewed dangerous animals. He was a true pioneer in his field, and the world lost a wonderful person when he tragically passed away at just 44, doing what he loved.
Now, over a decade later, his wife Terri Irwin has shared a confession Steve once made to her—something that might surprise many people …
Terri recently sat down for an interview with the Australian TV series *Anh’s Brush With Fame*, where the conversation took an unexpected turn.
When the interviewer mentioned Steve’s untimely death, Terri said: “He never thought he’d have a long life. He always kind of had this feeling that his life would be cut short.”
Sadly, Steve was right. The beloved TV host was filming *Ocean’s Deadliest* in Queensland, Australia, when he was tragically killed by a stingray’s barb.
After the accident, Terri was told to call her zoo manager. She vividly remembers the moment she learned her husband had passed away.
“I just remember feeling this huge sense of responsibility, overwhelming grief, but also, ‘What do I do next?’ I had to gather my thoughts and then go out to the car to tell Bindi and Robert … which was really hard.”
When news of Steve’s death spread, Terri was shocked by the incredible amount of support they received.
“No one would’ve been more surprised than Steve at the outpouring of grief and love,” she said

Sending Belated Birthday Greetings: Expressing Your Good Wishes with a Personal Touch
Living in today’s world, it can be simple to forget about an important occasion like a loved one’s birthday. The fast-paced nature of life, unforeseen circumstances, or even just not remembering can cause us to miss out on commemorating an important day.
Although the birthday may have already passed, it’s never too late to make amends and show your sincerest belated wishes. In this article, we’ll explore how to express your feelings with truthfulness, personalization, and affection.
To begin, you must acknowledge that you missed their special day, but emphasize that it doesn’t diminish its importance in your heart. A heartfelt belated wish can mean just as much as an on-time one, so don’t let lateness prevent you from reaching out.
Think about what makes your relationship with the person unique and use those details to craft a thoughtful message that reflects your shared experiences, inside jokes, or precious memories. Adding a personal touch to your belated birthday wishes shows that you’ve taken the time to reflect on your bond and make your message special.
Choosing the right medium to convey your message is also essential. A handwritten letter or a carefully selected card can serve as tangible keepsakes, while a heartfelt video message adds a personal touch. The medium you select should align with your style and the recipient’s preferences.
Make sure your belated birthday wishes are genuine and express real regret for the delay. Let the person know that they matter to you and that you hold them dear, even if you didn’t acknowledge their special day on time. Your sincerity and the warmth of your words can help make up for the late wishes.
Turn your belated birthday wishes into an opportunity to highlight the positives. Celebrate their achievements, their impact on your life, or the joy they bring to those around them. Remind them of their significance and why they are so special to you. This positive reinforcement can turn a belated wish into a heartfelt celebration.
If possible, plan a special get-together or activity to compensate for the delay. This demonstrates your commitment to creating lasting memories, even if it’s slightly delayed. It shows that you’re willing to make amends and celebrate their special day in a memorable way.
A little bit of humor can also go a long way. Consider adding a well-placed joke or witty comment to your belated birthday wishes to make the person smile and lessen any disappointment from the late wishes. It shows that you can laugh at yourself, and the relationship is strong enough to handle a little lateness.
If you choose to send a gift along with your belated birthday wishes, think about the person’s interests and preferences. A thoughtful gift can show that you’ve put thought and effort into selecting something meaningful. Let this be an opportunity to make up for the late wishes and show that you care.
