Kate began with a video montage of moments from her relationship with Liam.

“Happy Birthday Liam. I wish we could celebrate together. In the next life I guess,” she captioned the post.

Kate followed that up with a second post in which she penned a lengthy tribute to her late boyfriend.

“It breaks my heart that I can’t hand you a physical birthday card today. That I can’t hear your laugh, or tell you all the things I wish I’d said a thousand more times,” Cassidy wrote.

“I’ve been struggling to find the right words, but I’ll start with the most obvious, happy birthday. Today, you would have been 32,” she continued, adding:

“In your 31 years here on this earth you brought so much joy, happiness and hope to so many- especially to me. I hope you know how brightly you still shine, even from up there.”

From there, Katie stated that she would happily trade years of her owbn life in order to give Liam more time on earth.

“I 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. But today, my birthday gift to you is my strength,” she wrote.

“I promise you I will celebrate you extra today, honor your life, and cherish the beautiful times we’ve had. August 29th will be a date that sits in my heart for the rest of my life. I love you so much.”

Kate and Liam dated for three years prior to his death.

She has paid tribute to Payne several times in the ten months since his passing, and fans have applauded her willingness to share her grief.

Our thoughts go out to Kate and all of Liam’s loved ones as they continue to mourn his loss.
