When Justin Roser was just nine months old, his father, Army First Lieutenant Jonathan Roser, was killed while serving overseas. Jonathan’s wife, Jessica Jones, had spoken to her husband just 12 hours earlier and told him about their adorable baby.
Unfortunately, Justin did not have the opportunity to meet his father. While picking up the pieces in their Texas home and learning to live without her husband and father, Jessica decides to bring back her black 1999 Toyota Celica convertible.
No one was driving her and she had no money to pay the loan. She therefore abandoned the car without knowing that she would find this car one day. Fast forward 15 years to a teenager desperate to get to know his father.
Justin had dog tags, photos, and other memorabilia from his father, but there was one thing he really wanted. Dad’s old car.
He couldn’t explain it, but he was 16 and really wanted to sit in the same seat his father had once sat in, feel the wind blow through his hair like his father once did.
