Bob Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo paid tribute to her late husband on his would-be 67th birthday.
In an Instagram post, the Eat Travel Rock TV founder commemorated the Full House star's first birthday since his passing with a touching note.
"Happy birthday 🎂 This truly never gets less weird or surreal. But the gratitude grows every single day. I'll never stop feeling like the luckiest person on Earth to have had the privilege of spending 6 years with this amazing man," Rizzo captioned the May 17 photo book.
She continued, "Life is short and we never know how long we are going to be here. And I still take comfort in the fact that Bob used every minute on this planet to enjoy life to the fullest and make the world a better place. To celebrate Bob on his birthday, do as he would do…tell all the people you love that you love them, preferably in a very long & verbose voice text dictated by Siri."
Rizzo ended the caption, writing, "I'll celebrate him today by having a very-cold, extra dry dirty martini with blue-cheese olives (IYKYK). And I hope he’s celebrating up there with a massive cigar (his favorite thing), a martini, and a few dozen oysters while sitting on a beach. He would love that. Thank you all for still loving Bob so much. 🎂🎂🎂🎂❤️❤️❤️❤️."
The former Unfiltered with Kelly Rizzo star also shared multiple pictures of Saget smoking a cigar, including one where he is posing at the beach holding the cigar in his mouth with a smile while Rizzo plants a kiss on his cheek. Rizzo also shared a video in which she jokingly pretended to be anxious while Saget sat beside her smoking, eventually "stealing" it from him.
Celebrities commented on Rizzo's post, celebrating the couple's sweet marriage and Saget's birthday.
"Sending you so much love and saluting Bob for everything he meant and will continue to mean to so many. You’re great and I know he would be so proud of you. ❤️," wrote Katie Couric.
John Mayer commented, "I love you!!!! You’re such a brilliant steward of his heart and soul ❤️."
Taylor Lautner expressed himself with emojis 🤍🤍🤍🤍, while F is for Family's Nia Renée Hill left a short and sweet message, "All our love. Forever ❤️."
Saget passed away on January 9, 2022, after suffering from blunt head trauma while on tour.
