Robert Irwin got a message for his birthday from the afterlife of Steve Irwin.
The Australian Zookeeper celebrated his 19th birthday earlier this month at the famous Zoo founded by his father and mother.
Unfortunately, Robert was only accompanied by his mother, Terri Irwin, for the important birthday.

The “Crocodile Hunter” tragically died when Robert was two years old after a freak accident with a stingray.
Steve died in 2006 at the age of 44 after a stingray barb pierced his chest.
Despite losing their father at such a young age, Robert, Terri and Bindi Irwin have kept their loved one’s legacy alive.
They continue to run Australia Zoo and their conservation efforts.

Robert gets the birthday surprise of a lifetime in the form of a video message from Steve, and it brings him to tears.
“There are a few people who CANNOT be here today, so we have a little video compilation of birthday messages for you next,” Terri told the packed arena.
The Wiggles sang Robert “Happy Birthday,” with several musicians and activists wishing the nearly 20-year-old a happy birthday as well.
The birthday compilation then cuts to home video footage of Steve, Terri and Robert’s newborn. “Crocodile Hunter” describes seeing a “light” when he looks into his son’s eyes.

Steve emphasized the importance of raising children who could potentially carry on his legacy, stating that it would be “the proudest moment of my life.”
As the video draws to a close, an emotional Robert tells his mother, “Ah, you made me cry on my birthday. It’s impossible not to get emotional when you see it. It means the absolute world. I think it’s a privilege, personally and as a family, to carry on dad’s legacy. Something that started years ago, that’s what it’s all about.”

“Well I’m a grown man crying now. How special. RIP Steve! Happy Birthday Robert! What a family!” commented a fan.
“He is an absolute credit to his father. Terri deserves credit for raising her children after Steve’s passing. What a family ❤️,” echoed another.
Many praised Terri for raising Bindi and Robert the right way.

“Don’t think their mother gets enough credit because she raised these kids especially without their father. Well done,” wrote one fan.
“Robert is a perfect example of carrying on a legacy. Just because Steve is dead doesn’t mean he’s gone and that’s thanks to his family. Robert is carrying the torch now and doing a great job,” praised one fan.
Robert’s sister, Bindi, continued her father’s legacy by naming her daughter Grace Warrior Irwin Powell.
