“I will certainly fall short of the father my pop was, but – I’m going to give it my all! #Balance #BillStamos #Hero,” the Full House alum, 54, wrote on Friday, December 15, accompanied by a black-and-white shot of his father holding him as a toddler with one hand. The actor’s father passed away in 1998 and his mother, Loretta Philips, died in 2014.

The sweet post garnered much praise from his followers, with many assuring him his years of playing doting Uncle Jesse on the hit family show are great preparation for his future role as a father. His costar, Dave Coulier, also chimed in writing, “Bill was my buddy. Many days of golf and laughter. He inspired you as his son and me as his friend @johnstamos I love you both forever. #greatdad #cutitout.”

I know my parents are smiling down. I know they would love her. She’s a gentle, kind, graceful soul who would be a good mother.”
