My dad came downstairs and told me. The last time he did that was when Princess Diana died, and that was years ago. Whoa. It hasn’t been a particularly good day. :( *offers hug*
He’s one of those guys who I hoped was going to be doing crazy things at ninety-seven, so I could act surprised that he wasn’t dead yet. That sounds horrible, but it just… feels like something’s a bit wrong with the world, him not being around.
I’m so absolutely broken up about this. :( Everyone I know is all, ‘oh, I’m so not surprised..’ But gah! It’s Steve Irwin! And by a stingray?! I think there’s been, what, 17 stingray fatalities in the history of forever?! I’m already thinking up conspiracy theories. *in denial*
