“As time moves on, that sharp pain I felt at the beginning… it’s become a part of me. It doesn’t feel as overwhelming as it did in the first year. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to it, and I’m not sure how I feel about that,” Stamos wrote in an Instagram tribute shared on the second anniversary of Saget’s death.
“I miss him. A lot. Every day,” he added. “But I’m also grateful for the time we had, for the laughs, for the friendship. He was one of a kind, and I was lucky to call him my friend.”
