Kelly Rizzo Shares Birthday Wish For Late Husband Bob Saget

On Thursday, Kelly Rizzo celebrated her first birthday without late husband Bob Saget. 

In January, the "Full House" star passed away suddenly in what police are calling a tragic accident at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Orlando, Florida. It is believed that Saget hit his head on an item in the room; however, that item has never been identified. Regardless, he passed away from a brain bleed that resulted from blunt force trauma. Police ruled out foul play and a toxicology report showed that there were no drugs or alcohol present in his system at his time of death.

Saget should have been celebrating his 66th birthday on Tuesday. Earlier this week, Rizzo revealed that their birthdays are only two days apart and that they always celebrated with a trip together. However, this is the first birthday that she has to celebrate without him, but that doesn't mean he isn't still in her thoughts and prayers.

On Thursday, on Instagram, Kelly posted a sweet video compilation from past birthdays.

“43. My birthday wish is to have one more day with Bob,” she began. “But since I can’t have that, I’ll settle for memories. These are all videos shot by Bob on my past birthdays.”

“He gave me the best birthdays I ever could have dreamed of and made me feel like the most special girl in the whole world,” she added. “(The middle video is on a beach in Mexico when he got a beautiful guitar player to serenade me with my favorite songs while we had an incredible dinner.)”

“To Bob, I just want to say THANK YOU,” she concluded. “And thank you to everyone for so much love and support. Today I’ll try to celebrate 😊🎈”

Singer John Mayer, who was a close friend of Bob Saget, left a touching comment on her Instagram page.

“Kelly, you are one of the most impressive people I have ever known,” he wrote. “I have watched you face the most unthinkable loss, and inside of every single day you have summoned a kind of ongoing and evolving grace that is just astounding. I hope you feel the immense love and appreciation from everyone around you today. Happy Birthday. 🎂🎊🎁”

Rizzo responded, “John, I couldn’t have done it without you by my side. Forever grateful. Thank YOU.”

On Tuesday, Rizzo posted an Instagram carousel filled with pictures and videos of the late "How I Met Your Mother" narrator to celebrate what would have been his 66th birthday. “Happy birthday my Love,” she began her lengthy caption. “These pictures and videos were taken exactly 1 year ago in Mexico. We always celebrated our birthdays together with a trip. (His is the 17th and mine is 19th).”

“This last trip was so special,” she continued. “We both celebrated each other so big. You never know when something is going to be ‘the last’ time. But I’m so grateful that he was showered with all of the love he deserves. I pray he can see all of the love he’s already getting from around the world today.”

“Honey, everyone loves you so d--- much,” she went on. “Everyone wants you to know how important and special you are on your special day, and we ALL celebrate you. You are one of a kind and you certainly made my world go ‘round.”

“I love you more than anything and miss you every minute. Your girls and I will hold on tight to each other today,” she concluded. “And I know you’d want me to get a martini tonight, so I’ll oblige. Happy birthday, honey.”
