Well, Steve had said that he wanted his death to be viewed if it was caught on video, but it is Terri's decision now.

I wouldn't be able to watch, it would be too painful. I felt like I knew Steve Irwin and considered him family. I think I would rather remember him vibrant and alive.

I want to see what sort of killer moves a stingray has, and I want to see what he was doing right before it struck.

I don't believe that there's ever been another fatal stingray attack caught on film. Before one killed him, I didn't even know they were dangerous.

Well, Steve had said that he wanted his death to be viewed if it was caught on video, but it is Terri's decision now.

And my husband says when he dies he wants to be placed in a plexi-glass coffin with his eyes open and anamtronics on his hands, so it looks like he's trying to get out. He knows that's not going to happen also.

Those who died may have certain wishes they want to have carried out regarding their deaths, but it's the living who have to grieve through it. I'm just babbling.

It's heartbreaking to see the emotional pain on Terri's face but then she gets animated and the love and "blessings" she had with Steve and the kids begin to break through. It was a roller coaster ride with Steve and would repeat it in a nano second. It was a perfect match. They lived and loved more in that short 14 years than some do in a lifetime.

"I wouldn't be able to watch, it would be too painful."

Neither will I not do I have a desire to watch it.

Terri's decision not to make the tape public is her decision and is the right one, exactly as I wanted to be. But I disagree with some who, early on, had wanted the tape destroyed. But, again, it's Terri's decision, not ours, as you pointed out.
