If you needed a reason to cry today, this is it:
Paul Walker and Vin Diesel’s daughters just took the most heartwarming selfie together, almost six years since Paul’s passing, and we’re not okay.
It’s been nearly six years since Paul Walker’s passing and we’re still not over it.
The Fast and the Furious star was killed in a deadly crash on November 30, 2013.
He had been sitting in the passenger’s seat of his Porsche sports car when it crashed at a speed of more than 100mph.
His friend and financial adviser, Roger Rodas, sadly passed with him since he was driving.
Both of their deaths came as a huge shock to the world.
Walker was so young at just 40 and Rodas was a professional driver.
Since Paul’s death happened in the middle of filming the seventh “Fast” movie in the franchise, his brothers actually stepped in to film the rest of his parts.
Thanks to the help of Caleb and Cody, the production team used their bodies to film the shots and then replaced their heads in the movie with CG versions of Paul’s.
Cody even recently visited the set of “Fast 9,” which is now filming.
“There is something special that happens every time Cody comes to visit production…. Always making Pablo proud! All love, always,” Vin captioned the touching post.
The hit song “See You Again” was commissioned for the ‘Fast 7’ soundtrack to honor Paul.
The emotional song and video acknowledge Paul’s impact on the cast, crew, and fans of the Fast and Furious franchise.
Paul was extremely close to co-star Vin Diesel.
Vin has made numerous posts in tribute to Paul, and each one is always incredibly touching.
Posts like this fanart that he shared.
Vin shared this image with an emotional caption, saying, “Fast fan art… AMAZING! Fast fans… THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!” and then went on to address Paul’s family.
It was an incredibly sweet message.
“Meadow and the whole Walker family, will never know how much strength they have given me over the last five years. Hope to make you proud. All love, all ways.”
It just goes to show that Paul left behind a great cast and crew that had become like family to him.
He also left behind his only child, a daughter named Meadow Walker, who was born on November 4, 1998.
Meadow was just 15 when he died.
The year he passed, she had moved from Hawaii where she was living with her mom to California to be with her dad.
“He loved being a dad. He was so proud of her,” his brother Cody told “People” about Paul.
They got super close during that time together. He did all sorts of “dad” things like getting her ready for a school dance.
It’s an adorable story.
“He helped Meadow’s date pin on his boutonnière and drove them to the dance and picked them up. It was so sweet,” Walker’s mom, Cheryl, said .
Earlier this August, Meadow had shared a rare public tribute to her late father on social media.
The 20-year-old, who’s now a model in New York City, captioned the photo with, “Thinking of you xx.”
There were a lot of sweet messages from Walker’s “Fast and the Furious” costars in the comments.
“I love this picture,” wrote actress Jordana Brewster who played his on-screen wife in the films.
“me too!” Meadow responded, along with “& I love you.”
Most recently, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel’s daughters got together to share the most heartwarming selfie.
Seriously, just try not to cry … again.
“With my angel,” Meadow captioned the emotional social media pic.
In it, she’s embracing Vin’s 11-year-old daughter, Hanina Sinclair.
Want to hear something else so touching? Vin even named his youngest daughter, Pauline , after Paul.
Vin’s story of Pauline’s birth is super emotional.
Vin said , of feeling Paul’s presence the moment his daughter was born, “He was in the room. There’s no other person that I was thinking about as I was cutting this umbilical cord.”
That feeling was why he chose to name his daughter after Paul.
“I just … knew he was there,” he says. “It felt like a way to keep his memory a part of my family and a part of my world.”
Yeah … we’re not okay.
Vin also shared this adorable edited picture that has the whole gang together.
In addition to honoring her late father by staying close to Vin’s family, she’s doing something else.
That something else being that she founded the Paul Walker Foundation.
It’s an organization that encourages younger generations to help protect the earth’s oceans and wildlife.
On social media, she also encourages people to “do good” by spreading kindness in the world.
Paul would be so proud of the amazing young woman Meadow has turned out to be.
She’s all about honoring and respecting the memory of her late father.
And now, with her special relationship with Vin’s daughter’s, it’s so nice seeing the special bond Paul and Vin had, being repeated <3.
Even though it’s hard to move on from grief, finding support in friends and family is so important.
And it’s extremely heartwarming for us as fans to see.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to have a little cry in the corner thinking about Paul Walker’s legacy.
