Melbourne
(ANI):
Crocodile
Hunter
Steve
Irwin"s
widow
Terri
misses
him
a
lot,
especially
in
the
bed.
Speaking
to
Times
about
life
after
her
husband"s
death,
Terri
said
though
it
has
been
a
year
since
Irwin"s
tragic
demise,
she
finds
it
difficult
to
cope
with
the
loss.
"He
was
hot
in
the
cot
and
I
miss
him
desperately," News.com,au
quoted
her,
as
telling
the
newspaper.
"In
some
ways
I
miss
him
more
now,
because
it
hits
me
that
he's
not
coming
home,"
she
said.
The
43-year-old
also
said
that
the
Oz
wildlife
expert
was
a
'lucky
find" for
her
because
he
was
sensitive
and
strong
at
the
same
time.
"He
was
a
lucky
find,"
she
said.
"If
you
find
a
macho
guy,
he's
usually
kind
of
an
ass;
and
if
you
find
a
sensitive
guy
he's
usually
kind
of
a
wimp.
"To
get
someone
who
is
sensitive,
yet
strong
...
Steve
was
that,"
she
said.
In
her
book"
Steve
and
Me:
My
Life
With
The
Crocodile
Hunter",
which
is
scheduled
to
be
published
next
month,
she
talks
about
how
she
waits
for
her
hubby
to
walk
into
the
house
through
the
front
door.
Terri
also
said
that
she
has
kept
a
few
things
in
memory
of
her
husband
died
after
being
fatally
pierced
in
the
chest
by
a
stingray
barb
in
September
last
year.
"His
sarong
still
hangs
on
the
bed,"
Terri
writes.
"His
toothbrush
is
in
the
bathroom
but
the
reality
is
sinking
in
more
and
more."
Terri
said
she
has
"a
lot
of
heart-to-heart"
talks
with
daughter
Bindi,
9,
to
get
over
with
her
father's
death.
She
adds
that
her
three-year-old
son
bappi
lahiri,robert
is
"like
a
pitiful
puppy
and
still
waits
patiently
for
his
daddy
to
come
home
from
heaven".
"Some
nights
he
sits
in
the
bath
and
cries,"
Terri
writes.
"'I
want
my
daddy',
he
says,
over
and
over.
It
tears
my
heart
out,"
she
added.
