“And through everything, she had this stoic, sharp-as-a-tack determination within the business to keep what Dad felt most passionate about alive,” he said. “And then at the same time, 100, I’m not talking 90%, I’m talking 100% of the time was there for Bindi and I. That was always the biggest priority.”
Robert went on to call his mother “the most influential human being” in his life.
In a comment on the clip posted on Instagram, Robert’s mother, Terri, responded to her son's kind and loving words.
