Bob Saget’s former “Full House” co-stars still can’t believe he’s gone, two years after his death.
The cast remembered the late actor on social media, with John Stamos also joining Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber and Candace Cameron Bure on a Zoom call.
“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,” Stamos, 60, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday.
“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,” he continued. “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.”
“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,” Stamos went on. “And you know what? That’s okay. It’s all part of grieving, part of remembering someone who meant so much to me.”
Saget died on Jan. 9, 2022 after he suffered head trauma and fell asleep in a Florida hotel room. He was 65.
“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,” Stamos concluded on Tuesday. “I love you Baby. Thanks for being a part of my life.”
Cameron Bure, 47, wrote “love you” in the comments, and shared her own throwback photo with Saget on her Instagram page. “I miss you always ❤️ I could use one of your hugs right now,” she wrote.
Barber, 47, added: “Such beautiful words. Thank you for this, John.”
Coulier, 64, for his part, wrote on his page: “Bob was always hugging me. I sure miss those hugs. I sure miss Bob. I loved him so much.”
Saget’s widow, Kelly Rizzo, gushed over the cast’s reaction. “I’m so sad I missed this!!! Love you all so very much. This is so wonderful,” she shared.
She also posted a lengthy statement on Instagram, stating it “simultaneously feels like a week and an eternity” since her husband’s passing.
“I will forever be grateful that I got to share life with this extraordinary person for 6 years. What a blessing. 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,” she wrote.
“I’m still blown away by the fact that Bob hasn’t faded from all of your hearts in the slightest. It means so very much. Thank you for allowing me to still share Bob and thank you all for continuing to keep his memory alive,” Rizzo added. “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.”
