Two weeks prior to Saget’s death, Bure got into “a little tiff” with the late actor. They quickly resolved the issue in a text conversation that ended in an outpour of love for each other.
The former “Full House” star pulled out her phone to share the messages with Hoda Kotb.
“It scares me so much because I don’t ever want to lose this,” Bure said, noting that she fears one day she may accidentally delete the text messages.

Bure explained that the “tiff” was about cancelled dinner plans, due to Saget’s delayed flight, which made him cranky.
“He said, ‘Oh, now I feel even worse. I was so wrong. You’re, like, my favourite person on the earth. I was getting ready to take a late flight, and I was annoyed,’” Bure read the text in which Saget apologized for his behaviour.

“He was so emotionally available all the time,” the actress said during the Thursday interview. “He was really the first person in my life as a man that I saw cry and have those emotions right at the forefront of his conversations.”
Bure was just 10 years old when she was cast as D.J. Tanner, the daughter of Danny Tanner (Saget).
“I felt so safe with him,” she continued, noting that it was “one of the things that made Bob so special.”
