Brothers
Forging a bond that lasts a lifetime
This push-pull pose between two brothers may be very familiar to parents of boys; it reflects the relationships that develop in childhood, and endure through adulthood.
Your Stories 
Quietly is my second piece; I received it as a present. I loved the first one, which is an angel with a thank you sign. My friend gave me Quietly as a Christmas present, and now I love Willow Tree even more. I can see my two boys (ages 4 and 2) and myself in this sculpture. I just purchased Brothers. Thank you for the beautiful work. I have my sculptures in a special place in my home, and I never tire of looking at them.

In 2001, my Father-in-Law gave me one of my most favorite treasures, Brothers. It reminded me to celebrate the amazing relationship between two brothers. The tenderhearted look that the older brother shares with his little bubby is so loving and tender. It also serves as a memorial to and for my little boys that are about to embark in a sword fight that will most assuredly leave one of them injured. Either way, this beautiful piece is my favorite, well, almost. The next year I received, Quietly, which I later had signed by Ms. Lordi. Is it even possible that Ms. Lordi peeked into my home, watched me scoop up my boys and love on them the way that her work portrayed? It was as if she etched the images of my life and secured a spot of them on my shelf for me to view every day, never forgetting the warmth that I feel when I hold my babes.
I could go on and on about each and every piece that I have been gifted. My family & friends know that her work is the only thing that I collect. As Christmas rolls around, my husband and I get excited about the joy that our FOUR sweet boys will bring us, but I reserve one little moment for me when I receive my Father-in-law's gift. I am not sure what brings me more wonder, the effort that my dad put forth in picking out that perfect treasure or how Ms. Lordi reached into my heart and captured yet another moment that I will get to visit again and again and again when I look at my sweet Willow Tree people.

I've always loved your figurines. I have received them as gifts and have given them many times. My son, David, passed away in November, and for Christmas my daughter, husband and I gifted each other with a symbolic figurine, expressing the love of a son and brother. I have them now surrounding his picture on a table with a candle, and it looks so peaceful and serene. I thank you for your comforting artwork. God bless you.

My husband and I started collecting when we were given “Together” for our wedding. I was addicted after that. We have one for every change in our family. In April of this year we adopted a three-year-old daughter from China. I have two biological sons too and I wanted my figurine for her to have black hair so it truly symbolized her in our family of Willow Trees. I bought “Child of my Heart” and with a little black paint that toddler looks just like a three-year-old Chinese girl with the short hair she had. Shortly after that we bought the “Brothers” and “Miss You." I removed the balloon and painted her hair. When I put the two together they are perfect size for my little family. Isaac is six, Kodiak four, and Ying Ying three. How perfect they set the stage of my family. I can’t even help looking so far into the future when my children are teens and what figurines I will buy to represent the changes in their lives.
I adore all the little angel sets and although I am not wanting the “angels," I am having so much fun figuring out how to mix and match the pieces to fit my family and myself perfectly!!!
THANK YOU

I have two sweet, wonderful little boys. Grayson is 3, full of spunk, imagination and sweet kindness. He is my baby and watching him grow is my favorite past-time.
Brandon is 7. He will always be 7, but he would be 10 now had we not lost him in a car accident 3 years ago. His baby brother Grayson was just 10 weeks, and although it seems impossible that Grayson would remember Brandon, he somehow knows him. He speaks of him often, and says and does things that are straight from Brandon's mouth.
Brandon was full of imagination, sweetness and kindness. I had never met a boy who lived life as hard as Brandon did. He was full of energy, spice and sweet consideration of others.
Brandon will always be my special little angel. I have several Willow Trees dedicated to my sweet little boy--my boy who I will not see again until I leave this earthly body. It is comforting to know that he is My Angel, watching over me, his daddy, and especially his little brother.

I got my first Willow Tree from my mother-in-law when we finalized our adoption of our son. It has taken us four years. We brought him home from the hospital and he is the happiest toddler you could ask for, so full of life. It has been a hard road with so many ups and downs, but I would not change one thing that we went though to get him. He is like the child that I could not have. Both my boys are a gift from God! I would urge anyone who could not have children to adopt. It is the most fulfilling thing one could do for a child. My mother-in-law gave our oldest son his first Willow Tree (Brothers) the same day and it made him cry. He is 11 years old and it really touched him.
