“While he was here, I was aware of his otherworldliness. Every second we spent together was like something out of an old Hollywood movie, with dinners, cocktails, stories, jokes, and memories that you knew were etching themselves into your soul as the lathe turned “He went on. Grief is a journey, and it is a meaningful journey that the person you lost also goes on; they leave the area surrounding you and slowly ascend a stairway to find a space inside of you.

He stated, “I constantly miss him, but what about those memories? They are solid things. And today, in remembrance of Bob Saget, we will pull them out, hold them, and trade them. I still think the world of that person.”

On January 9, 2021, Saget’s body was discovered in the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Florida. His family revealed a month later that he had died from head trauma. He was 65.

On Monday, the actor’s wife Kelly Rizzo, as well as his Full House co-stars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Dave Coulier, paid tribute to him.

The singer of “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” spoke candidly about his three-hour discussions with Saget in September, saying that they “spanned time and place.”

“Like everyone else, I am thinking, “Well, that was a lovely meal.” I am eager to see him once more,” At the time, he said. But on the way home, I would receive a large text that Bob had dictated into his iPhone, which was composed largely of him.

“The other night, I had a dream and I woke up crying because I saw Bob,” the “Wild Blue” singer said. “It was young Bob, and we were about to go into a restaurant. And I knew and he didn’t know. I looked right at him and said, ‘You gotta know how much I love you.’ He went, ‘Yeah, I know. Fine.'”

Mayer said he then “woke up, of course, crying like a baby,” but found himself still talking to Saget.

“I remember I had to go back to sleep because I had something very important the next day, and I said out loud, ‘I love you, Bob, but I gotta go back to sleep.’ And I heard him say, ‘Go back to sleep, go back to sleep. You have to go back to sleep. You have to. You’ve got stuff tomorrow. You’ve gotta go back to sleep,'” he said in his best impression of Saget.

“And that’s no different than the magic of when he was around,” Mayer added. “And I learned that. It is not a jump to go from here to there. Because there’s nothing different about the way we access the people we love when they’re there than when they’re here. And that is the magic of Bob Saget that keeps carrying on for me.”.
