Like Paul Simon famously sings, I would not give you false hope: this is absolutely the cutest mother and child reunion I’ve ever seen.

Four months after being adopted, this sweet golden girl has grown a lot from the 11-week-old pipsqueak her mom said goodbye to. But as soon as these cuties see each other, it’s like no time has passed at all. Their sweet excitement will instantly melt your heart…and probably inspire you to give your own mom a call.

Yep, my heart is a puddle. Pro-tip: pass this along to your mom and you’ll totally be the new favorite child.
