Why “Full House”?
A few weeks after the passing of the family’s matriarch, Lisa, the girls were sitting around the living room watching a“Full House” re-run when we realized, “Hey, we look a lot like that family!”–only we didn’t have a laugh track and our family passed gas a lot more than the Tanners. Oh, and technically we were short one uncle. But the parallels were too similar too ignore, and we joked about being “the real Full House” ever since. These are our real life stories, we’ve used the Full House names to protect the innocent.

/ January 11, 2011AWEWOME blog — read all posts this morning (yea! no school!), and I promise I didn’t even cry once. I laughed out loud SEVERAL times. Can’t wait to read more – keep it up, Danny and Uncle Jessie!
Sharon Padgett
/ January 11, 2011How do I subscribe to this???? I don’t see, “follow blog” on here!
Uncle Jesse
/ January 11, 2011working on making this easier, Sharon. Though I favor wordpress for blogging, other blogs do a better job of making it easier to follow. If you grab an account at http://www.wordpress.com (very easy), then when you view our blog (or any wordpress blog) there’s an extra toolbar at the top and you’ll see “subscribe.” Thanks for reading! Like I said, we’re working on making this an easier thing.
Uncle Jesse
/ January 11, 2011Ok, Sharon (and others)–at the bottom of the main page should be a button that makes it very easy to sign-up to be a follower now! We’re still learning a lot…about kids, blogging, cooking, etc.
ThunderBear
/ January 11, 2011If my heart strings get pulled any tighter they are going to break! I’ve never personally witnessed something so awe inspiring until now. Just from what I’ve read today (and I’ve read it all; couldn’t stop!!) you have shared an honest and open glimpse into your life as a family without your beautiful Wife, Sister and Mother, Lisa. Sharing your personal experiences and feelings like you have here in this blog, makes me take the time to reflect on my own family—it really makes one think about and appreciate what they have. I want to be more like Danny! Keep it coming! Thank you!
Uncle Jesse
/ January 11, 2011we ALL want to be more like Danny. Thanks so much for reading!
Jane Winborne
/ January 11, 2011Ok- I laughed, cried and drank a pot of coffee. Now, am emotionally exhausted and keep going to the bathroom!
Loved every minute of it and look forward to more! Love you all!
Anna
/ January 11, 2011Ditto to your previous reader’s comments, on all counts. Could hear each of you telling these stories as I stepped into 1531 with you. We Harris’ love y’all overwhelmingly. Thank you.
Jill
/ January 11, 2011Love the blog, Danny & Jesse!! I can picture Lisa doing some eyerolling… with complete approval, of course! Thanks for sharing your journey.
Sherry B.
/ January 11, 2011Thank you Danny (and the rest of the Tanner/Katsopolis clan) for making me laugh (and cry a bit). For those of us dealing with the difficulty of grief as we take life’s road, you inspire.
Danny Tanner
/ January 11, 2011You know how tough this stuff can be. I believe if you don’t laugh a bit you won’t get through.
Jenny Nelson
/ January 11, 2011This is absolutely wonderful. I think I’ve read the whole string at least three times. Crying is cathartic — especially when you stop to think about what really matters. Well done. And I’m not just talking about the writing.
Jennifer
/ January 11, 2011Wow! This is a wonderful blog thank you so very much for sharing and I will continue to follow! I have to tell you as I sat hear reading about Lisa,her name just sounded so familiar.Then I started thinking about a client I had years ago when I use to do nails/hair. I did a little more thinking and realized that my client was your Lisa and she was such a wonderful person. I remember when you two got married and when she got pregnant with your first,that is when I lost touch with her.
My heart goes out to you and your family! I think you are very brave and an amazing father !
Danny Tanner
/ January 11, 2011I’m sure I’ve heard your name. Lisa was all about her nails! Glad to reconnect.
Robyn
/ January 11, 2011Well, I’ve read all the posts (several times) and I’ve shed a few tears, but I’ve laughed a lot! What a wonderful blog. Danny, you continue to inspire me, and I’m really enjoying getting to know Uncle Jesse. Can’t wait for the next post. God bless you all.
Dotty
/ January 11, 2011Danny, You are truly amazing and this does not surprise me at all, you doing this. You always did have a way with words. I will be checking this often and will also let my mom know you are doing this. Much love!
Danny Tanner
/ January 11, 2011Thanks Dot!
Amy
/ January 12, 2011What an awesome site, Danny and Uncle Jesse! Your writing is inspiring and humorous and yes, I’m sure met with Lisa’s approval:) The laughter helps keep the tears from lasting too long. Hugs to all!

/ March 28, 2011Dear Mr. Tanner,
I was in the Chapel @ Blue Ridge last Friday morning. I witnessed one of the most inspiring displays of courage I have ever seen. I was not aware of these events over the past 19 months. Your girls are indeed blessed to have you for their Dad. I am blessed to have heard this directly from you. My parents went to be with God, 7 weeks apart to the day, 18 years ago. My oldest sister is still in that shower, beating the tiles with her fists against God. I had stopped praying for her. I am praying again and will not stop. Thank you !!!
Danny Tanner
/ March 28, 2011You’re a good man Rick.
Amy Propst
/ June 22, 2011As a college friend of Lisa’s, I am so touched to see this. I know she is with you in spirit and so proud of how you have made this difficult journey. My stepfather’s first wife died suddenly at 36 in the 1970′s. He had 4 young daughters. He married my mother 8 years later and they have been happily married now for over 25 years. We too were a full house, with 5 of the 7 kids living together for a few years-and only one son–my youngest brother!
Laughter is indeed good medicine, so keep it up!
May God bless you with health and happiness in the days to come.
Amy P, Raleigh, NC
Danny Tanner
/ June 22, 2011thank you Amy!
Amy Propst
/ June 22, 2011Hey, again. Check out the Liz Logelin Foundation started by a widower who lost his wife just hours after she had their first child. Talk about inspiring!
Danny Tanner
/ June 22, 2011we’ll check it out. Thanks.

tlneedham
/ June 18, 2012Love the bios and blog! But I have to admit, as someone who does marketing and communications on the Internet, I was LMAO at the legal disclaimer! I know it’s totally for real and needed, it still made me laugh. You must have a lawyer around!
Danny Tanner
/ June 18, 2012Uncle Jesse took care of that – probably knowing I freak out about that sort of stuff!
Kelly
/ July 16, 2012I just found you and I am glad I did! Your outlook is so refreshing. I am just outside of Chapel Hill and had a Whoooaa moment when I realized you were right here in Raleigh.
Danny Tanner
