This piece can be about the feeling you get from holding a child, or the child can represent something you want to protect ... a person, a memory, a relationship, a dream, a belief. Thus, the sentiment ‘hold close that which we hold dear’ can refer to someone or something tangible — or intangible and ethereal.


My precious baby boy was stillborn earlier this year. We waited for a lot of years to become parents and we were devestated when we were told our son had died. A few weeks later I saw this figurine for the first time and I immediately got choked up and had to leave the store. The little boy looks just like I imagine my son in Heaven. I knew I HAD to have this angel! It took me several more weeks to be able to go into the store to purchase it but I am so glad I did. This angel means so much to me! I own other Willow Tree figurines that were purchased to represent where our lives were at the time and this angel gives me a way to include my precious baby in this collection. Thank you so much for creating "Angel's Embrace"!
