Beautiful Bindi!
Is it just me or does everyone think there’s a chance Bindi Irwin is too young just yet, to know exactly what she has lost?
There is no doubt Bindi is an extraordinary little girl. And I love the fact that she is completely true to herself, never faking sadness or feigning tears because she thinks that is what is expected of her.
There’s a bit of Bindi about today, I think her television series is about to hit the screens and everybody wants to know how she’s feeling.
This morning, Bindi is quoted in Britains News of the World saying..
“They say time makes things easier but no one tells you how you can miss someone even more every single day.
“Sometimes I cry and cry but then I just think 'It's happened and you can't do anything about it, he's not hurt, he's in a great place'.
“He hated it when I cried.
“He would be so happy that I'm happy,” Bindi said.
“Some people might think, 'Oh my word she's happy, how can that be', but everyone has a choice of being happy or sad.”
Anyone who has ever lost someone close knows the first Christmas is always horrible, but Bindi says she will always treasure the memories of last Christmas.
“Santa left all the presents on top of our roof because our chimney was much too small for him to climb down it,” Bindi said. “So my Dad and I had to get a ladder and climb up the roof.
“It was just me and him - Mummy was thinking about it but then didn't want to, and Bob wanted to but he was a safety hazard."
“It was so nice up there. He gave me a big bicycle. It was really nice - it was the best Christmas."
Like I said, I think Bindi is completely in touch with her real feelings and that is a credit to Terri and everyone else in Bindi's extended family. It’s a long life though and getting over a lost parent is a marathon, not a sprint.
So good luck beautiful girl…your Dad would be very very proud of you.

I lost my grandfather, who was more like a father to me, when I was about Bindi's age.
Two weeks before that he had taken me to his parents' graves and told me flat out, "When I die, you have to take over."
Yep ... it's alot on an eight-year-old.
And you don't fully understand it.
You know he's not coming back.
But of course it doesn't hit you quite the way it does an adult.
That waits for you ...
Generally until you ARE an adult ...
And comes crashing down on you quite often at THE most inopportune moment ...
