On Wednesday, Kelly Rizzo thanked fans for their support and condolences during this difficult time.

It has been almost two months since her husband, “Full House” star Bob Saget, passed away in a hotel room in Florida due to blunt force trauma. Although many still don’t understand how the “How I Met Your Mother” narrator hit his head hard enough to create a brain bleed, his family has filed a lawsuit to ban any more information about his death from being revealed to the public, including official documents and photographs.

Although the family is asking for privacy as they continue to mourn the renowned stand-up comedian, Kelly took to Instagram to thank her fans for their constant support through her grieving process.

Kelly revealed that Bob really liked to appreciate all that life had to offer, and part of that included food. She included a video montage of some of their dining experiences together on her Instagram page while joking that “we were in our happy place” whenever they went out to eat together.

“One month without this incredible man. Bob truly lived life to its fullest,” she wrote. “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,” she 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.”
