Give a little love


Bindi Irwin
Bindi was just eight when her father, Steve,
died, so she has a special understanding
of how the young Princes William and
Harry felt losing a parent so young. “It
was like this bomb went off, nothing
was ever the same,” says Bindi, but her
mother helped her through. Terri asked
Bindi and her brother, Robert, to name
their favourite part of every day.
“On really hard days it would be just
how good the shower felt,” says Bindi,
“but you could always find something ...
Sometimes the happiest people have had
the hardest lives. You don’t know how
long you have on this earth. I don’t want
a day to go by where I feel like I’ve missed
an opportunity or not spread a little love.”
