Kelly Rizzo remembers husband Bob Saget in a heartbreaking tribute.
The "Eat Travel Rock TV" creator, 42, marked one month since the "Full House" actor's death by recalling their happy moments on Instagram. She added a video montage of the couple enjoying some "amazing food around the world," as she described it as their "happy place."
Sharing Their 'Happy Place'
"One month without this incredible man. Bob truly lived life to its fullest," Rizzo began.
"He had so many hardships over the years that he would always tell me 'look, life is hard, we need to enjoy it as much as possible.' And one of the best ways we did that together was sharing and exploring amazing food around the world," the journalist continued.
"We were in our happy place together whenever we were out at a restaurant, hotel lobby bar, or even our own kitchen when I would try out a new creation on him. He was never shy about ordering, and he would even tell you to get everything on the menu that you wanted because he also wanted to see you enjoy everything to the fullest," she added.
Rizzo concluded her note, writing, "Experiencing simple pleasures in life like that brought him so much joy. I can’t even put into words how much I will miss this."

This was a beautiful reminder of how funny and full of life he always was and I’d be lying if I said I got through it with dry eyes. Love you so much, Kelly," added the third commenter.
"Your pain must be so deep, but what a legacy he’s left. I have to admit, I didn’t really know who Bob Saget was (as a person), but the outpouring since his passing has definitely made me want to say 'I love you,' more," noted the fourth one.
Bob Saget Did Not Die Of A Heart Attack
Saget passed away in Orlando, Florida last month at 65 when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room. It was only recently that his cause of death was confirmed.
According to a statement from the Saget family, the "Fuller House" actor's died from head trauma.
"In the weeks since Bob's passing, we have been overwhelmed with the incredible outpouring of love from Bob's fans, which has been a great comfort to us and for which we are eternally grateful," the family told E! News on Wednesday.
"Now that we have the final conclusions from the authorities' investigation, we felt it only proper that the fans hear those conclusions directly from us," they added.
According to the family, the authorities concluded that the comedian "accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep."
They also noted that there were no drugs or alcohol involved.
His Legacy
The family concluded their statement by saying, "As we continue to mourn together, we ask everyone to remember the love and laughter that Bob brought to this world, and the lessons he taught us all: to be kind to everyone, to let the people you love know you love them, and to face difficult times with hugs and laughter."
Since Saget's death, Rizzo has been constantly posting tributes to him on social media. On February 10, she posted a beautiful photo of a sunset.

"They say the ocean is healing. I know Bob believed that," she wrote. "He loved the ocean so much. He also loved a good sunset, and would always love to capture one for me. Wishing he was with me to see this one. But so grateful to have the opportunity to be here and take in the sea air and see part of God’s miracle. Actually, I know he’s here. Just wish I brought a couple cigars for us. Oh well, next time. 🌅"
