'Miss you every day': Paul Walker's daughter Meadow Walker shares throwback pic on his birthday
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Late actor Paul Walker's daughter, Meadow Rain Walker, remembered her father on what would have been his 49th birthday. The 23-year-old took to Instagram to share a sweet throwback photo of Paul and herself along with a picture featuring new merchandise from the Paul Walker Foundation.
"Happy birthday to my best friend and twin soul," she wrote in the caption of the post. "I love you forever and miss you every day. New @paulwalkerfdn designs out today to celebrate you! Do good, be good 💙."

The American model also shared a story on Instagram of her childhood picture with her father, in which she is seen rocking matching outfits with her late father, white tees, and denim jeans while she sits on his shoulders.
The 'Fast & Furious' franchise star, Paul, died on November 30, 2013, in a car crash when Meadow was just 15 years old, and the actor was 40. Paul's brothers Caleb and Cody were hired to stand in for him for the remainder of the production, as at that time Paul was in the middle of filming 'Fast 7' and his face was digitally superimposed onto their bodies. Since Paul's death, his daughter has frequently honored his memory. She attended the premiere of F9 in June 2021 and Paul's co-star Vin Diesel has even discussed the possibility of Meadow appearing in the film franchise.
"I would not count anything out," Diesel told E!'s Daily Pop last year. "Let me just — without giving you all of the secrets of Fast 10, let's just say nothing's ruled out." Meadow remained close with Diesel and his family over the years and Diesel said he feels "very protective" of his goddaughter. "She's the first person on Father's Day to wish me Happy Father's Day," he told Extra last year.
"To see her with my children is one of the most beautiful things," Diesel added at the time. "There are moments when I see her playing with [my daughter] Pauline and it hits me so deep 'cause I can only imagine what my brother sees when he sees that."
Meadow got married to Louis Thornton-Allan last October, on a beach in the Dominican Republic. Attended just by her family and close friends, Meadow's wedding was an intimate ceremony, with Diesel walking her down the aisle.
