\u201cI\u2019ve been struggling to find the right words, but I\u2019ll start with the most obvious, happy birthday.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, you would have been 32. In your 31 years here on this earth you brought so much joy, happiness and hope to so many \u2013 especially to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope you know how brightly you still shine, even from up there.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would give up years of my life just to give you a few more. I miss making memories with you. I miss having things to look forward to together.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut today, my birthday gift to you is my strength.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise you I will celebrate you extra today, honor your life, and cherish the beautiful times we\u2019ve had. August 29th will be a date that sits in my heart for the rest of my life. I love you so much.<\/p>\n
\u201cYours, Katelyn [sic]\u201d<\/p>\n
Cassidy\u2019s post also featured a series of photographs of herself and Payne together.<\/p>\n
In February, Cassidy admitted she was still struggling to come to terms with Payne\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old star said she was thinking about him \u201cevery second of every day\u201d and that his death still didn\u2019t feel \u201cfully real\u201d.<\/p>\n
She told The Sun newspaper at the time: \u201cI feel like my life has changed so much and I think about Liam every second of every day. It still doesn\u2019t feel fully real for me that he\u2019s not here. Sometimes I\u2019ll wake up and it\u2019s a reality I have to face for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019ve been struggling to find the right words, but I\u2019ll start with the most obvious, happy birthday. \u201cToday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":32552,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[268],"tags":[25510,4645,25508,434,18,117,25507,25512,25513,25509,19,17,13678,3852,3255,25515,7973,25505,25506,25514,1093,2046,25511,2058],"class_list":["post-32551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-birthday","tag-by","tag-cassidy","tag-celebrities","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-ex","tag-give","tag-her","tag-his","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-kate","tag-liam","tag-life","tag-more","tag-on","tag-payne","tag-remembered","tag-spend","tag-time","tag-with","tag-would","tag-years"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32551"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32551\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
