It’s been a tough month for the Full House cast, who are still trying to grasp the loss of their fictional family’s patriarch, Bob Saget. The portrayer of the titular Danny Tanner died on January 9 at 65, and the news has been particularly hard for his close friend and former TV daughter, Candace Cameron Bure, to process.

It’s clear that the actress has taken to revisiting old photos and memories to grieve, and she’s shared quite a few to Instagram along the way. On January 12, she shared a photo in which her arms wrapped around Saget’s broad shoulders, both of them wearing wide smiles. Her caption—buckle up—was a tear-jerker.

“Oh, Bob. Why’d you have to leave us so soon? We are all family, but you were the glue. The sticky, messy, squishy, sweet, lovable glue,” she began. “We’ve always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old. You weren’t just like a father, but one of my closest friends in life. This hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I love you, I love you, I love you. You knew that. I knew that. But I have to say it again.”

She continued: “I want one more hug. I want one more text that says, ‘oh, btw, it’s me Bob’ after a long rant. I want one more laugh. I want to roll my eyes at you one more time. I want you to tell me to watch something but then tell me maybe I shouldn’t because of my faith. You were always so protective of me, and cared about everything. And everybody. You were the best. You were… Bob.”

“There will never be another like you,” she concluded. “I’m not saying goodbye because you’ll never leave my heart. Even with this gigantic tear in it 💔.”

We're not crying, you're crying.

The Hallmark star went on to share more of those special hugs from over the years on her Instagram Story. It’s true—each photo displayed how at-home the two felt in each other’s presence.

After learning of his passing, Cameron Bure initially shared a few separate photos from their time on set together. “I love you sooooo much. I don’t want to say goodbye 💔. 35 years wasn’t long enough,” she captioned the post.

Shortly after that, she shared a message from the Full House crew under a group picture of them all.

“Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family,” the caption read. “Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob. He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls, and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob’s honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob.”

At least they have each other to hold onto during this difficult time. We’re sending love to Saget’s on- and off-screen families.
