As parents, anytime we can give a shoutout to our kids we’ll take it no matter how old they are. And when it’s their birthdays, well, those shoutouts sometimes are extra special. On Tuesday, October 31, Days of Our Lives vet Lauren Koslow (Kate) sent a heartfelt message to her handsome son Josh and the photo she posted… wow, what a resemblance!

“Happy Birthday my darling son,” she began while wishing him “the best of all adventures on this next trip around the sun. Love you forever and always and back again.” She went on to state, “No amount of time and space can separate you from the people you are meant to be with in your life… and of course that makes all the difference.”

For those who don’t know, back in 2021, on his birthday, Koslow revealed that she and Josh had been separated three days after his birth. It wasn’t until that same year that they were reunited after having been “lost to each other for nearly a lifetime.”

We couldn’t be happier that the mother and son can now spend their birthdays together and we hope others who find themselves in the same situation can have wonderful reunions as well!
