Meadow Walker is mourning the 12th anniversary of her father Paul Walker’s death.
On Sunday, November 30, the late actor’s only child celebrated her father by sharing a series of throwback childhood photos on Instagram.
The photo, believed to have been taken on Meadow’s birthday, shows her sitting on a countertop and holding up a dessert with a candle in it.
In the second sweet shot, the father-daughter duo appeared to be about to share a kiss, and in the third photo, Meadow flashed a cheesy smile directly at the camera while her father smiled and looked at her.
“12 years without you…love you forever,” Meadow captioned the post.
Presley Gerber, son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and Delilah Bell, daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, were among those sending love to fellow model Meadow, 27, in the comments section, with both sharing a single love heart emoji.
Paul passed away on November 30, 2013 at the age of 40. He died in a car accident shortly after leaving an event for Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW), a humanitarian organization he founded in California.
In September, Meadow celebrated the actor’s 52nd birthday.
Meadow shared a black-and-white photo of herself sitting on her father’s lap, captioning a Sept. 12 Instagram post: “Happy birthday daddy. I love you so much and miss you every day.”
The snap showed Paul, who was wearing a rugby shirt, jeans and Converse sneakers, removing his daughter’s shoes.
“🙏🏽,” Paul’s longtime Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel wrote in the comments section.
