Bindi Irwin is honoring her late father in the most powerful way.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 16 years since the elder Irwin passed. Of course, the popular Aussie TV star and zoo leader died at age 44 back in 2006 after being stabbed in the chest by a stingray barb while he was filming a documentary. Bindi was just 8 years old when he passed in September of that year, with her younger brother Robert Irwin just 2 years old.
Taking to the social media app early on Sunday morning, Bindi referenced her own daughter — 17-month-old baby girl Grace Warrior Irwin Powell, whom she shares with husband Chandler Powell — in a meaningful message about Steve.
Referencing Grace and calling Steve her “guardian angel,” Bindi wrote:
So touching.
Along with the powerful message, Bindi shared a photo of her as a young girl riding in a boat with her late father. Steve can be seen wearing a headlamp, while his beloved daughter gently holds a baby crocodile in her hands.

Wow.
In the comments of the Instagram post, Bindi’s followers showed their support for this challenging time in her life, too. Here are just a few of their reactions to the emotional anniversary post (below):
No matter how many years may pass, this is such a difficult time for Steve’s family, friends, and loved ones — and fans, too.
Sending our love!
