Homer rang in the milestone with his father, Coleman “Coley” Laffoon. “21 years goes fast. Before you know it the journey of a lifetime has become two lives. Intertwined, inseparable in the sense that what is in one is in the other,” the 49-year-old captioned an Instagram carousel on Thursday, March 2. “Homer is in me as much as I’m in him. It’s baked in.”

The proud dad continued: “We’re spending two nights in San Fran, a father-son trip celebrating this symbolic passage into adulthood. He’s come through his challenges on his terms. Can’t ask for much more. Has a promising new job, great friends, is a loving son and brother. Hopefully that is conveyed in thr [sic] faces in the pictures here. He’s doing great and it feels so good.”

Laffoon shared a variety of throwback photos and current snaps, ending his tribute with a message to Heche. “Impossible not to close my eyes and think of @anneheche zooming around the cosmos, swinging by Northern California, smiling her knowing and still vulnerable smile as she races past,” he wrote. “He’s good Anne. Thank you for trusting him to me. It’s going to keep being great. I promise. … To everyone else, thanks for being part of this ride. We’re all intertwined and I’m so glad.”

The Ohio native also shared his lengthy post via his Instagram Story, adding that his son’s 21st birthday “feels like a big deal.”

Heche and Laffoon welcomed Homer in 2002, one year after they tied the knot. The former couple — who began dating in 2000 after Heche’s split from Ellen DeGeneres — called it quits in 2009.

Homer addressed his mother’s death days later. “My brother Atlas and I lost our Mom.
