After much reflection this week, I’m trying, really trying, to not think I was robbed of time. But instead to think: How lucky was I that I got to be the one to be married to THE MOST INCREDIBLE MAN ON EARTH.

"I was the one who got to go on this crazy ride with him and be in his life these last 6 years. We had that time to make each other the happiest we’d ever been and change each other’s lives forever. I got to be the one to love him and cherish him. He deserves all the love. Every ounce of it.

"Because that’s how amazing Bob was. He was love. If you were in his life you KNEW he loved you. He never missed an opportunity to tell you."

She continued: "Most importantly. I have no regrets. We loved each other so damn much and told each other 500 times every day. Constantly. I know how much he loved me until the very last moment and he knew the same. I’m so grateful for that. Not everyone gets that.

"Bob was a force. I’m sure every one of you out there, whether you knew him or not, was in awe of the enormous outpouring of love and tribute for this special man. It was like nothing anyone has ever seen. I am so appreciative for the kindness and support from loved ones and strangers. Everyone loves Bob and everyone wants to make sure I’m ok. And for that, I’m eternally grateful."

Finally, she concluded the post by writing: "Bob had so much more he wanted to do and so much more love to give. And to the best of my ability it will be my mission to share how amazing he was with the world, and try in some small way to keep spreading his message of love and laughter. (No, you will never see me do stand-up).

"I also want to keep sharing how important the Scleroderma Research Foundation was to him. I just want to make him proud. And to his girls, I will love you all with all my heart, always.

"Honey, I love you more than anything, forever."

"I know life was tough - I know - Thank you for bringing me my very 1st performance of 'ON DISPLAY' - you and I - WE ARE LOYAL. They don't make them like us. I wish I could have saved you. Thank you for the memories. Go fly - Go make them laugh."

Bob Saget's widow Kelly Rizzo has paid tribute to her late husband with a bittersweet Instagram post.

The 42-year-old Eat Travel Rock founder shared a romantic vacation snap of herself and Full House star Saget, who died unexpectedly on January 9 at the age of 65.

In the picture, Rizzo and Saget can be seen relaxing on the beach. The loved-up couple sit side-by-side on sunloungers beneath a cabana while toasting their large cocktail jugs.

Rizzo captioned the idyllic snap with a poignant caption, writing: "My incredible husband. The world will never be the same."

Saget's body was found in his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando. The comedian - who was on a stand-up tour when he passed away - had performed in Jacksonville just the day prior to his body being found.

Though an official cause of death is still weeks away from being announced, authorities have speculated that the comedian may have died of a heart attack or stroke in his sleep, MailOnline reports.

Blogger and TV show host Rizzo married Saget in October 2018. In TV interviews since his death, she has indicated that her husband was in good health before he passed away.

During an appearance on the Today show, Rizzo told host Hoda Kotb that "[Saget] was very happy and thrilled to be back out on the road."

But while she didn't mention any physical ailments, Rizzo did suggest that her husband's mental health may have been fragile.

"He was also very sensitive, and just all the weight of everything going on in the world, it was just weighing very heavily on him," she explained.

"That’s why he felt more compelled than ever to make people laugh," the widow added.

Meanwhile, in an earlier Instagram post on January 15, Rizzo paid tribute to her husband saying that she had "no regrets" about their time together.

"I have no regrets. We loved each other so damn much and told each other 500 times every day. Constantly. I know how much he loved me until the very last moment and he knew the same. I’m so grateful for that. Not everyone gets that," she wrote.

Robyn Griggs tragically passed away last weekend after a 2-year battle with cancer, a post on her official Facebook page has confirmed.

The 49-year-old was best known for her daytime soap opera roles in the early 90s, starring as Maggie in Another World and Stephanie in One Life to Live.

The former child actress was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer in 2020.

After being diagnosed with cancer, Griggs set up a GoFundMe page to help lessen the financial burden of her costly medical treatment. The page's description detailed that she had initially gone to the doctor for a routine papsmear, but that she "walked out with stage 4 endocervical [adenocarcinoma]."

"She went in to have a CT scan and they found masses also on her stomach.  She is going through a tough fight mentally," the description continued.

"She no longer can work and insurance does not cover everything. Her life is changing and we can help her get through this.  Her love for others is keeping her strong.  We thank you all for your support and love."

As well as setting up a GoFundMe page, Griggs was open about her health struggles on social media, often sharing updates to her Facebook page. Her latest major health update was in July, when she wrote that she would be starting chemotherapy after discovering four new tumors - two on her liver, one on her abdominal muscle, and another on one of her lymph nodes.

Griggs' high school classmate shared a status on Facebook after her mother reached out to notify them. The update encourages women to "follow Robyn's advice to get routine checkups and be alert for any indicators of this illness."

Her death was also announced on the same Facebook page with a short statement which read: "Hi everyone, with a heavy heart, I am saddened to announce Robyn’s passing. However, she is no longer suffering and would want us to remember that and the good memories."

The statement continued, "I will never forget how open she was to telling her story, and accepting of me helping her tell it. She wanted to help people and spread the word of her story to do it. I was honored to do so. RIP my friend, I love you and smile when I think of you."

Soap opera fans on Twitter also reacted to the sad news of her passing, with one user tweeting: "Ray Liotta, Anne Heche and Robyn Griggs, so much pain, suffering and loss for our beloved #AnotherWorld cast. Sending [heart emoji] to all their families. Enjoyed you all so much through the years."

Our sincere thoughts are with Robyn Griggs' friends and family at this time.
