AceShowbiz - Bob Saget's widow has paid a heartfelt tribute to him. Sharing a sweet photo of the two on Instagram, Kelly Rizzo said she's lucky to have spent time with her "incredible" husband before his death.
The journalist posted the photo on Saturday, January 15. "My sweet husband. After much reflection this week, I'm trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH," she penned.
"I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last 6 years. We had that time to make each other the happiest we'd ever been and change each other's lives forever," she added. "I got to be the one to love him and cherish him. He deserves all the love. Every ounce of it. Because that's how amazing Bob was. He was love."
"If you were in his life you KNEW he loved you. He never missed an opportunity to tell you," the grieving wife further gushed over her late spouse. "Most importantly. I have no regrets. We loved each other so damn much and told each other 500 times every day. Constantly. I know how much he loved me until the very last moment and he knew the same. I'm so grateful for that. Not everyone gets that."
"Bob was a force. I'm sure every one of you out there, whether you knew him or not, was in awe of the enormous outpouring of love and tribute for this special man. It was like nothing anyone has ever seen," Kelly further elaborated. "I am so appreciative for the kindness and support from loved ones and strangers. Everyone loves Bob and everyone wants to make sure I'm ok. And for that, I'm eternally grateful."
Kelly went on to note, "Bob had so much more he wanted to do and so much more love to give. And to the best of my ability it will be my mission to share how amazing he was with the world, and try in some small way to keep spreading his message of love and laughter. (No, you will never see me do stand-up)." She continued, "I also want to keep sharing how important the Scleroderma Research Foundation was to him."
"I just want to make him proud. And to his girls, I will love you all with all my heart, always. Honey, I love you more than anything, forever," the Chicago native, who tied the knot with the actor in 2018, concluded her lengthy post.
Bob was found dead at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, January 9. The night prior, he was performing a stand-up comedy set. His funeral was held on Friday. Among those in attendance were his "Full House" co-stars, including John Stamos, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin as well as Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.
