It has been two years since Bob Saget’s tragic dying, and his former Full Home co-stars and mates got here collectively to share their love, their grief and their reminiscences.
John Stamos took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a clip of video chat between himself, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber, who spoke in regards to the impression of Saget’s absence of their lives.
“It almost gets weirder as time goes on because I’m like, ‘Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard from Bob,’ and then I’m like, ‘Oh…'” Barber shared. “It’s so weird to have gone two years without getting a crazy long text from him or a neurotic phone call.”
A tearful Stamos defined that the loss looks like a needling ache that, after some time, you start to get used to, however that the ache “never goes away” all collectively.
He reiterated this sentiment in his caption, writing, “Two years! Hard to believe. As time moves on, that sharp pain I felt at the beginning… it’s become a part of me. It doesn’t feel as overwhelming as it did in the first year. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to it, and I’m not sure how I feel about that.”
“Part of me wishes I wouldn’t get used to this feeling. To not think about it every minute means I’m getting used to him not being here. But then, I know Bob would want me to get on with my life. Yet, letting it drift away feels wrong too. It’s such a drag that death is a part of life,” he continued. “When we first become close to someone, we never think about a future without them. Maybe that’s a good thing, but I’m not so sure. And you know what? That’s okay. It’s all part of grieving, part of remembering someone who meant so much to me.”
“I guess what I’m trying to say is, I miss him. A lot. Every day. But I’m also grateful for the time we had, for the laughs, for the friendship. He was one of a kind, and I was lucky to call him my friend,” he concluded. “I love you Baby. Thanks for being a part of my life.”
Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, additionally honored the second anniversary of her husband’s dying with an emotional tribute and wrote that the time since she misplaced him “simultaneously feels like a week and an eternity.”
“I chose this photo of Bob as not only was it the last photo he shared and one of the last texts he sent me, but it perfectly encapsulates how he would want all of us to remember him. With his guitar, on a stage, doing what he loved to do…making people laugh…making people happy,” she wrote, alongside a pic snapped simply hours earlier than his dying, whereas he was on tour performing his stand-up comedy.
“I will forever be grateful that I got to share life with this extraordinary person for 6 years. What a blessing,” she continued. “And grateful I can look back on endless memories and photos and videos with smiles, laughter, and yes…still tears. It is such a gift I was able to know his complete and all encompassing love and heart.”
Rizzo concluded, “Once again, please do as Bob would do and hug your loved ones, hold them tight, and tell them over and over again that you love them.”
Saget was additionally honored by his fellow co-stars in their very own heartfelt tributes, which they shared on Tuesday.
The beloved sitcom star and stand-up comedian died in a freak accident in a resort room in Florida on Jan. 9, 2022, after falling within the bathe and hitting his head.
Again in October, Stamos spoke with ET about Saget’s dying, and his final meal with the comedian earlier than the accident.
“You know, tomorrow’s never promised. It sounds like a dumb cliché, but man, you never think it’s gonna be the last time you see somebody,” Stamos shared. “He was everything that I wanted Bob to be.”
In response to the actor, when he first heard about Saget’s premature dying, it got here only a few weeks after Stamos had been the topic of a dying hoax, and he merely did not consider the preliminary stories.
“But sadly, it was true. It was a defining, terrible moment that I can still picture right now,” Stamos shared. “My son was asleep, I got out of the car and my knees hit the asphalt in this parking lot.”
