John Mayer says, “Bob Saget died on this day last year.” I loved that person so much. I love to say, “I loved that person.” When he left, it was hard for me to say those three words, but now I can say them with all the simplicity and depth that love itself has. Along with a photo of Saget smiling, Mayer, who is 45 years old, posted on Instagram.
“I knew he was from another world while he was here. Every second we spent together was like something out of an old Hollywood movie, with dinners, cocktails, stories, jokes, and memories that you knew were etching themselves into your soul as the lathe turned. Grief is a journey, and the person you lost goes on it with you. They leave the area around you and slowly climb a staircase until they find a place inside you.
“I miss him all the time, but what about those memories?” These things are strong. We will pull them out, hold them, and trade them today to remember Bob Saget. “I still think that person is great.”
Saget’s body was found at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida, on January 9, 2021. A month later, his family told him that he had died from a blow to the head. He was 65.
On Monday, the actor’s wife Kelly Rizzo and his Full House co-stars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Dave Coulier paid tribute to him.
The singer of “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” was honest about his three-hour talks with Saget in September, saying that they “spanned time and place.”
” I’m thinking, “Well, that was a nice meal,” just like everyone else. At the time, he said, “I can’t wait to see him again.” But on the way home, I’d get a long text message that Bob had dictated into his iPhone, and that was mostly about him.
The singer of “Wild Blue” said, “The other night I had a dream, and when I woke up, I was crying because I saw Bob.” “It was young Bob, and we were about to go to a restaurant.” And I knew something he didn’t. I looked at him straight in the eyes and told him, “You have to know how much I love you.” He replied, “I know.” Fine.'”
Mayer said, “Of course, I woke up crying like a baby,” but he was still talking to Saget.
“I remember I had to go back to sleep because I had something very important to do the next day. I told Bob, “I love you, but I have to go back to sleep.” “Go back to sleep, go back to sleep,” I heard him say. You need to go to sleep again. You’ve got to. You have things to do tomorrow. “You have to go back to sleep,” he said, trying to sound like Saget.
“And that’s just as magical as when he was there,” Mayer said. “Yes, I did learn that.” It’s not a long distance from here to there. We can talk to the people we love just as easily when they are there as when they are here. “And that is the magic that keeps me coming back to Bob Saget.”
