Candace Cameron Bure admitted she and her former “Full House” co-star Bob Saget had a trivial argument in their last text messages just two weeks before his sudden death.
“We were going to have dinner. And we got into a little tiff. And his flight was delayed. We ended up not having dinner,” Cameron Bure, 45, emotionally said on the “Today” show Thursday.
“But in Bob fashion, the next day he wrote me, like, what would be pages long of a text. And he was apologizing, saying he was cranky and he was just so sorry.”
Saget then compared himself to his beloved mother, Dolly, who died in 2014.
“He said, ‘Oh, now I feel even worse. I was so wrong. You’re, like, my favorite person on the Earth and I acted like Dolly. I was getting ready to take a late flight, and I was annoyed,'” Cameron Bure said of the actor.
“Bob went on and on and on in the text. And he said at the end, ‘I love you more for the trouble you’re giving me, if that’s even possible.'”
