“Weeks away from the F9 release… in preproduction for the finale that starts only months from now… @meadowwalker sends me this image and tells me how happy the photo makes her feel,” Diesel composed on Instagram June 6, flaunting a 2000-period throwback photo of him and Walker sent out to him by his late friend’s now 22-year-old child.
“Naturally, one gets filled with emotion, purpose and ultimately gratitude. Eternal brotherhood is a blessing beyond words. Hope to make you proud… All love, Always.”
Meadow Walker, who was 15 when her papa passed away, has actually stayed close with Diesel’s entire household, including his children, Hania, 13, and Pauline, 6, and boy Vincent, 11 (who makes his motion picture launching in F9, playing young Dom).
Asked about a picture Meadow had actually shared of them together May 29, captioned “family <3,” Diesel informed ET that he had really simply been on the phone with Meadow prior to taking a seat for the interview.
“That’s so funny that you say that,” he stated. “I literally just got off the phone with her. That means everything, and that’s what family does and it goes beyond the success of the franchise. That’s about the success of your soul.”
 F9 opens in theaters June 25.
