Meadow Walker paid tribute to her late father Paul Walker in a touching Instagram tribute over the weekend.
The 27-year-old captioned a never-before-seen childhood photo on Sunday: “12 years without you. Love you forever.”
In all three shots, Meadow is seated at the kitchen counter while Paul holds up a butterfly-shaped birthday cake for the young child to blow out the candles.
In the second snap, the pair shared a kiss, while in the third Meadow grinned at the camera as the actor smiled at her.
The model was 15 years old when the 40-year-old “Fast and Furious” star died in a fatal car crash in November 2013.
Meadow told E! News from 2023 that she still feels connected to her late parents through their “favorite numbers.”
“Whenever you’re in doubt about something, or you’re arguing with someone, or you’re arguing with something, you start seeing 4s and 7s everywhere,” she explained to the outlet. “So you always know it’s him.
“Even yesterday, we were having a little bit of fun and then the clock started chiming,” Meadow continued. “And I was like, ‘It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s going to be okay.’
The previous year, Meadow revealed to Page Six that she finds solace in looking at Paul’s old projects.
“They always say the first thing you forget about someone is their voice. So I’m lucky to be able to play his voice in so many movies,” she enthused in a 2022 interview. “For me, it’s a joy to tell about him and keep his spirit alive.”
When Meadow married Louis Thornton-Allan in October 2021, her father’s former co-star and The Godfather Vin Diesel walked her down the aisle in Paul’s place.
“We got married,” the bride exclaimed to her Instagram followers at the time.
However, she and the 28-year-old actor have “amicably” separated two years after their wedding in the Dominican Republic, which Meadow called a “united decision” in a statement.
“We maintain our love and respect for each other and will continue to support each other,” she wrote in December 2023, two months after she was photographed crying while out to dinner with Thornton-Allan.
Meadow filed for divorce the following February, after which her ex requested spousal support.
