It has been almost three years since his mother passed, and this star says the love she had for him gets him through every day.

John Stamos has written a touching letter to his late mother Loretta and shared it with Good Housekeeping as part of their Mother's Day Special.

Loretta passed away in September 2014 and left a note for the 53-year-old star to find on her kitchen table and John is only now ready to reply.

Loretta's note said: 'Life is an occasion… Rise to it. Don’t be sad because I died… be happy because I lived. I had a wonderful life.'

John responded to his mom writing: 'Your whole life was completely unselfish. Those sparkling hazel eyes were always looking for the good in people.... Everyone who spent time with you walked away feeling better about themselves.'

The Full House stat wrote whenever he was stressed he knew he could go to his mom's home, or as she called it the 'Castle of Comfort'.

'You poured a lifetime of love into me, and that's what I'll remember best too. Two and a half years later, that love still gets me through every single day.'

John had been struggling with drug and alcohol issues until 2015 and his mom had seen a change in him.

'I know you were worried about me toward the end of your life, because for a brief time I wasn't living the way you taught me to live. You told my friends you were worried. I was naïve in thinking I could pull the wool up over you, because you're so accepting of everything, but the truth is you saw it all. 

'And things got rougher after you passed away. How could it not? You were the most important thing in my life. I allowed outside things to come in and cloud my spirit, but it was your strength that got me through it.

'Your voice, your beautiful face, your over-abundance of love is always running in the back of my mind and certainly in my heart.'

The 53-year-old also revealed he hopes to still have children and dreams that they will Be like his mom. 

'Maybe someday I'll have a kid or two, and maybe they'll have red hair like yours... But mostly I hope they have your humility and unselfishness and your ability to bring sunshine to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting you.'
