Terri rarely visits Steve's grave
Set to release her book this month
Rumours of romance with John Stainton
TERRI Irwin has revealed she and her two children, Bindi and Bob, watch a DVD of her late husband every morning and have done so every day since his death a year ago.
The Crocodile Hunter's widow has also admitted she rarely visits Steve's top-secret grave site but plans to take her youngest child Bob there on his fourth birthday on December 1.
"I don't have to go where he is buried. He is with me all the time," said Terri, 43, who plays footage of Steve at breakfast every morning.
"Every day we watch a daddy video and while having breakfast and, for the kids, it's almost like he is still with us.
"We've got so much wonderful footage of Steve that he'll be a part of us forever."
She is set to release a book later this month entitled Steve And Me: My Life With The Crocodile Hunter.
Since her husband's death last year, Irwin has come under criticism for the gruelling publicity trail that both she and daughter Bindi, 9, have undertaken.
Rumours have also linked her with Steve's friend and manager John Stainton but Irwin has denied any romance in her life and said it was not even a consideration.
"Good luck with that," she tells New Idea, referring to Steve as a hard act to follow.
