Irwin widow feels "blessed" with life

Terri Irwin has revealed that her life is "blessed".

The Australian wildlife conservationist, whose Crocodile Hunter husband Steve died in 2006 after being pierced by a stingray, said that she has many "beautiful" things in her life such as her children Bindi and Robert.

Terri told Woman's Day magazine: "With two beautiful children and a mission to protect wildlife and wild places, I would have to describe myself as blessed.

"My goals include developing a world-class resort at the Australia Zoo and furthering our whale research to help stop whaling. Most of all I want to be here for my children. Bindi and Robert are the absolute joy of my life.

"When facing life's challenges, never give up. I am always telling my children this and sometimes I have to remind myself. I was lucky enough to share nearly 15 years with the world's greatest Wildlife Warrior.

"Steve inspired me to fight as a Wildlife Warrior. If nothing else, I owe it to him to never give up. I truly hope I can help inspire others to do the same."
