Cowan echoed her beau’s sentiments on her own post, whichfeatured two photos of the couple. Alongside them, she wrote, “Caleb Casey Affleck, you are the other half of my heart. You are such a wonderful and loving boyfriend. You are a genius who beats everyone at chess (except your youngest son). You are genuine. You say what you mean and mean what you say. You are generous with your time. You are gracious and forgive yourself and others. You are the greatest gift.”
“Through your vulnerability and sensitivity, you have reminded me that hardship makes the heart stronger, and that the beauty we all have- everyone- is in part, the pattern of our scars. Our scars, as much as any other part, make us who we are,” she continued. “Highly sensitive people, who feel intensely, know that pain is not a symptom of weakness, but a consequence of being alive on Earth.”
“You make me feel safe in this world,” Cowan said. “Theshelter of your embrace gets methrough the toughest days. In Vietnam, it is said that a nickname for one’s life partner is ‘my home’ and that is what you’ve become for me. A home.”
“Caleb Casey Affleck, I love you! - Catherine Caylee Cowan,” she concluded.
