This adorable 10-year old boy named Rowan Torrez lost his father two years ago to a rare brain disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
The boy’s mother Julie Van Stone, says that her deceased husband Joseph Torrez went to unbelievable lengths to provide for her and their son. He served in the Navy and traveled across the country to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned two masters’ degrees.
At 2 years old, Rowan was already receiving postcards from each state that his father had crossed along the way.
Van Stone says that she vaguely remembers her husband saying that he sent 5 or 6 postcards, but they only got 3 or 4 in the mail.
Torrez passed on away on March 13, 2013, and on March 7, 2015, they received a shocking surprise- a postcard from Torrez dated June 10, 2007!
They received it nearly 8 years after his death, and a few days before the two year anniversary of Torrez’s death.
Rowan couldn’t be more grateful to have this last keepsake from his loving father. Watch the touching video below to see what the postcard said.
