The world lost a great actor, Paul Walker, in a tragic accident. What a lot of people forget, is that his daughter, Meadow, lost a father.
There's never a good age to lose a parent, but 15-years-old is especially tough. What's truly inspiring, is how Meadow has been honoring her father's name in the most beautiful way.
They wouldn't have been the same without him all those years.
While people might not always enjoy them, it's impossible to deny the impact that they've had on the world.
Every now and then, a celebrity's death hits especially hard, and Paul's was one of them.
It's a loss that a lot of Hollywood and the whole world felt.
40-years-old is just way too young to go, and the world lost someone they truly respected and admired.
She was just 15-years-old when Paul passed away.
Losing a parent at any age is heartbreaking, but losing one so young takes away the possibility of memories being formed.
She finished up high school not too long ago, and has been taking on some pretty big projects.
Probably one of the most important things she did was announce her charity.
She was allegedly left with a big settlement after her father's passing, and it's pretty amazing what she's choosing to do with the money.
According to the foundation, many of Paul's traits have been passed on to Meadow.
"Growing up in Hawaii I developed a strong connection with the ocean. My father loved the ocean, and was always teaching me new things. I want this foundation to do many good things including help others who share my father’s passion," she explained.
He was a member of the Board of Directors of The Billfish Foundation, and was able to participate in a Shark Men expedition on the National Geographic Channel.
In 2010, he traveled to Chile to support those injured in the 8.8 magnitude earthquake. He also traveled to Haiti when an earthquake hit there.
At the Paul Walker Foundation, she was excited to honor her dad's legacy with an awards presentation, which included a scholarship, and acknowledging those who have contributed to their community.
I want one! They're just $7.00!
They collaborated with Omaze a few years back and ran a contest to raise money that would benefit the Foundation.
What an impact to have, right? I think everyone should aspire to live like Paul did.
In fact, for those who didn't know she even got married now!
And in true Fast and Furious family fashion, Vin Diesel, who is also her godfather walked her down the aisle.
Especially his ending scene from his final movie. I think it was such a great way to conclude his character.
RIP, Paul. We miss you dearly!
