One year has gone by since Full House star and comedian, Bob Saget, passed away at the age of 65 years old, and John Mayer went on Instagram on Monday, January ninth in order to honor his friend. He stated, “One year ago today, we lost Bob Saget. I loved that guy. I love saying ‘I loved that guy,’ Soon after he left us, I couldn’t finish those three words without falling apart, but now I say it with all the simplicity and complexity that love itself entails.”
Mayer added, “I knew he was otherworldly while he was here. Every moment we spent together was the stuff of Old Hollywood Magic, of dinners and drinks and stories and laughs and memories you knew were cutting deep grooves into your soul as the lathe was turning. Grief is a journey, and it’s a profound trip that someone you lose takes as well; they leave the space around you and slowly climb a staircase to find a space within you. I miss him all the time, but those memories? They’re solid objects. And today we’ll take them out and hold them and trade them and remember how much Bob Saget meant to us.” He concluded in saying, “I loved that guy, and I always will.”
Kelly Rizzo, Saget’s Wife, commented, “Man, did he love you. And he always will. I mean look at his face… that sheer happiness is the look of ‘yay I get to fly home with John!’ – so happy you captured that.”
