Looking toward the future. Kelly Rizzo opened up about her first Christmas following husband Bob Saget‘s death.

“Cherish every single moment. I certainly didn’t think that our first Christmas together (in the same city) last year would be our last,” Rizzo, 43, captioned an Instagram post on Saturday, December 24, which included photos of her and Saget. “(It was the first year he came to Chicago to spend Christmas with my family along with my wonderful step-daughter, Lara). I’m so glad we had that special time together.”

The Illinois native, who exchanged vows with her late husband in 2018, reflected on their last holiday together.

“He got to spend time with my niece Alex, who was only 2, and got to meet my niece Brooklyn who was only 2 weeks old. Alex still remembers ‘Uncle Bob’ and talks about him every single day. He certainly left a lasting impression that I’m so grateful for,” she continued. “But Bob did that with everyone he met. The holidays are a time for hope, love, and togetherness. I pray that if you’re missing a loved one this holiday season, that you’re blessed with many deep and loving memories and gratitude that will help carry you through.”

In the lengthy social media post, Rizzo addressed the support she received following Saget’s January death, adding, “As I’ve said before, I’m just so grateful that I got to have that incredible man in my life and that I got to be in his for 6 years. There’s no greater Christmas present than that. Sending love and prayers and wishes to you all. And I cannot thank you all enough for almost a full year of all the love and support and kindness from everyone. It means more than you know. I can only hope to show you how thankful I am and give it back a bit over time.”
