It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 10 years since Paul Walker died after a tragic car accident back in November 2013, leaving behind his only child, a daughter named Meadow. At the time of her father’s death, Meadow was only 14 years old. But since then, Meadow has made a point of not only preserving his life and memory but also finding ways to honor him both as a father and as an actor and humanitarian. September 12 would have been Paul Walker’s 50th birthday, and of course, Meadow shared a few posts on social media to mark the special day.

She penned a beautiful tribute to her dad on Instagram.
"Happy birthday to my guardian angel. Thank you for your love, guidance, friendship, sunshine and for raising me to see all of the beauty in the world," she began her Instagram post.
She shared the caption alongside a black and white photo of her and her dad having a snuggly moment together.
She honored their close relationship.
"You are the most kind, humble, generous and caring soul I know. You taught me at a young age to always treat everyone with respect, to do good and to take care of our planet. I love you and miss you every day," she finished.
Meadow is using her dad's memory to make a difference.
A few hours after her first tribute, she made another birthday post for Paul. Sharing a photo of her dad from the Fast and the Furious series, she revealed something special she was doing to honor his memory.
"For my dad’s 50th birthday, we’ve put this image on a limited edition @paulwalkerfdn t-shirt," she explained, adding that all proceeds from the shirt’s sales will benefit the Paul Walker Foundation.

So many people left comments to send her love and support.
Both of her posts received an outpouring of love for those who have followed along with Meadow's journey since she lost her dad.
"He must be so proud of you!" one person wrote, while another person added, "his spirit is eternal."
Paul is never far from Meadow's heart.
Even though her dad is no longer with her, Meadow is still finding ways to keep his spirit close to her.
"For me, it's numbers," she told E! News at the May premiere of Fast X, which she has a cameo in. "Four and seven are my dad's favorite numbers. And I swear whenever I'm doubting anything or whenever I'm in an argument with someone, I start seeing four and seven everywhere. So I always know that it's him."
