Paul Walker's 16-year-old daughter misses her dad every day, but this Sunday—the one-year anniversary of his tragic death—must have been especially tough.

But instead of wallowing in her sadness, Meadow Walker chose to celebrate the time she shared with the Fast & Furious star, posting a touching tribute to Instagram. The throwback pic showed Meadow as an infant held in the arms of her late father. In addition to the sweet family snap, she wrote simply, "I love you."

Meadow, who lives with her biological mother Rebecca Soteros, is the late actor's only child. Shortly before he and pal Roger Rodas were killed in a horrific car accident, Meadow had moved from Hawaii to L.A. to live with Paul.

A few weeks before his death, Paul gushed to Us Weekly about their new living arrangements. "I'm glad I had her at 25," he said, "because at 40 and 15, we're matching up sweet. It's just working. It's perfect."

Understandably, Meadow was devastated when Paul died last year. "Meadow's taking it really tough, but then again, she has family around her and some very, very loving friends and everybody they're all close," her grandfather Paul Walker Sr. told E! News at the time. "There's a lot of hugging. A lot of hand-holding. Wonderful people coming telling us how sorry they are."

Paul is survived by daughter Meadow, father Paul Sr., mother Cheryl Walker, brothers Caleb Walker and Cody Walker and sisters Ashlie Walker and Amie Walker. His relatives as well as his Fast & Furious family members continue to honor his legacy in film and through their support of his charity relief organization, Reach Out Worldwide.
