I don't understand why Terri is doing this. She has been too broken up to speak about Steve anywhere. I am afraid she will break down on TV, and I don't know how healing that will be. I hope she wasn't talked into it by Stainton. I don't like him as well as Wess and am wondering if he is trying to take control of things in Steve's place.
I don't think John would do that. (I HOPE not anyway) He loved Steve and his family. Steve surrounded himself with wonderful people, so it seemed. I think Terri knows she has to address the public sooner or later. She has to know that everyone wants to hear from her. He may just be giving her options on how to go about doing it.
Thank goodness Terri has Wes, Brian and the whole Australia Zoo crew that is like a family and she can count on to help her keep it the way it needs to be kept.
Try to give Wes and Mr. Stainton a closer second look, KK. The two men were brothers to Steve. They adored him and loved him dearly. And I think Terri feels this way, as well. Just remember during the memorial service and what few shots the cameras got of Terri. I think that the hardest speaker Terri had to hear was Wes. She was so broken up because I think she and Wes could totally relate. I think Wes was also Steve's soul-"mate." There are photos of the two of them comforting one another, each holding their little boy.
I believe both are protecting Terri because they both know that is really the best way to honor Steve...and what Steve would want foremost right now, as well.
