Vin Diesel Pens Touching Message To Paul Walker About Their Daughters On Anniversary of His Death

Vin Diesel is thinking about his friend, Paul Walker, a lot today.

In a touching message to honor the anniversary of Paul‘s passing, the 53-year-old Fast & Furious star recalled a very important moment in his life – the birth of his first daughter – where Paul shared a piece of great advice with him.

Sharing an image of his daughter, Hania, and Paul‘s daughter, Meadow, Vin recalled the moment when he was very nervous about Hania’s birth.

“I can remember that day when you and I were filming that scene in F4 where we were eating Chinese food and we had a brother combat scene which ended in you saying ‘Letty just wanted you to come home Dom…’ When we were done filming that day you came into my trailer and asked, what’s on your mind? You always knew when something was on my mind,” Vin began. “…I told you that I was about to have a baby and didn’t know what to expect at the hospital which I was heading to after work.”

He continued, “Will never forget what you told me… you said a lot of tough guys will tell you to wait out side of the delivery room, but that’s wrong. Go in there, actually cut the umbilical cord and it will be the best day of your life. You of course, was talking from experience, having already an angel of your own.”

“It’s been eight years today… and not a day goes by that I don’t reflect of the brotherhood we were blessed to have… but you know that.”

Vin then revealed that at Meadow‘s recent wedding, Hania was her maid of honor.

“Tragedies in life are always followed by life’s blessings if you just stay open and have faith. Look at this photo Pablo, it will make you smile,” he added. “The same angel that you helped me prepare for in the most beautiful way with your brotherly advice is the same angel that precious Meadow asked to be her Maid of Honor.”
