Two years after Bob Saget tragically died, his former Full House co-stars and friends have come together to remember and pay tribute to their late friend.
John Stamos took to Instagram this week, sharing video footage of himself, Dave Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber speaking about the impact Bob’s death had on 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…'” Candace, who played TJ on the long-running show 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 John added that while you get used to the pain, it “never goes away.”
“Two years! Hard to believe,” John wrote in the accompanying Instagram caption. “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.”
“Bob was always hugging me. I sure miss those hugs. I sure miss Bob. I loved him so much,” Dave Coulier, who played Joey in Full House wrote in his own Instagram tribute.
“I miss you always ❤️ I could use one of your hugs right now,” Candace wrote on her Instagram. While Jodie Sweetin who played Stephanie wrote; “2 years. Still doesn’t feel real. Thinking of Bob (and his daughters and Kelly and the rest of my FH fam) today. Although, to say I don’t think of him on most other days would be a lie. I still expect to see your texts in the group chat. Or hear, “Hey, by the way, it’s Bob” as if I didn’t know. To the best TV dad there ever was…You will always be missed…”
Bob’s widow, Kelly Rizzo also remembered her late husband on the two-year anniversary of his death, taking to Instagram to share that it “simultaneously feels like a week and an eternity,” since they were together.
“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.”
“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.”
