Guardian Angel
May you always have an Angel to watch over you
Your Stories 
Five years ago I became pregnant and we were over the moon. We had two daughters, and a son would be the icing on the cake. He died and was stillborn at 23 weeks.
My husband gave me Guardian Angel at Christmas to remember our son by and it's his way of saying I still remember and he is still here with us. Thank you for such a lovely statue and for us, a very personal reminder of our son.

I am a 6 year old girl. For my 6th birthday, my mom took me to a book store to choose my birthday gift. I selected Guardian Angel because I can imagine myself as the guardian angel of my 1.5 years old sister.

I worked at a little school--I was there for 14 years. I watched the little kids grow up and I was their guardian angel; they would come to me and tell me their secrets. I have since left and I received a guardian angel from them as a goodbye gift. It is so beautiful. It is a reminder of the little souls I helped through the years. So thank you

On February of 2010, my precious baby Connor passed away from RSV. He was only two months old, and I am still haunted by the pain every day. Seeing this Willow Tree in my cabinet gives me a reminder that he is free from pain and suffering and in the arms of Angels.

Five years ago I wrote a little story for my mom for mothers day. I wanted to put a picture on the story and found on the internet the image of an angel teaching a child how to walk. At that time I did not know that the picture was from a Willow Tree angel that someone else had posted. Later on I realized it and I tried to find the angel at different stores for the longest time so I could get it for Mom. Unfortunatly, I did not get it on time. She passed away four years ago. But about two weeks ago when I was at the church book store I found it! I was so excited, so I got it as a reminder of my own guardian angel in Heaven. I gave it as a special gift to my brother so he will also remember that she is always with us.

In a couple of weeks time it is my Grandmother's birthday. She already has two Willow Tree pieces, and for her birthday I bought her the Guardian Angel. My Grandmother has cared for me since I was born and I have always stayed with her when not at school. We have that special bond that most granddaughters and grandmothers do. She taught me to walk and talk, I can talk to her about anything and she was there when my auntie died of cancer. I just simply love her to pieces. I do hope she likes her angel and the memories that come with it.

My friend of 21 years was diagnosed with terminal cancer in December 2010, and now has been told she has only weeks to live, it was her birthday and i struggled to find a present--what do you buy a friend who does not have long to live? Everything seemed insignificant. I have several Willow tree ornaments, and decided the one which showed how grateful i was for our friendship was perfect, i also bought her 11 year old daughter the 'Guardian Angel' one. That way her daughter can keep them in memory of her mum. Willow Tree ornaments speak a thousand words!!

My history is anxiety. I bought this angel for my mum, without knowing anything about Willow Tree. It has come to mean very much to me- Guardian Angel. I was so scsred I had to tell the security. I was so scared at the plane, I had to tell the hosteses. I was so scared at intermediate landing in Reykjavik, I asked for a wheel chair. By the time i came to Gardermoen, I was exhausted and still very scared. I'm not afraid of flying, but my anxiety got to me. I was 100% sure I would die. It was a nightmare. The Guardian Angel still means alot to me. Yesterday I bought Courage - which also says to me - Freedom--THANK GOD FOR MY LIFE--I can conquer much, but that plane trip home got the best of me. I was sure I was going to die, and i prayed constantly. Of course, I realize it's paranoid. But I was so scared, You can't understand anxiety before you're there. I knew the little figure, Guardian Angel was probably watching over me, even though i wasn't thinking about that at the moment. Love to all.

This was my third Willow Tree and I felt it followed my story. After losing my baby boy, this made me feel the angels were looking after him and teaching him to walk as I would have done.
After reading some of the other stories, I see I'm not on my own with those thoughts.

I had tears in my eyes when I first saw the Willow Tree figures. There was an angel holding a little baby on his first step, “Guardian Angel." That angel was our sweet Fernanda. Every time my nephew asks about her we just say “she is in heaven with the other angels." I wrote an e-mail to a friend of mine saying that the statues are like a mirror--you can find your face or your soul in one of them. When my sister-in-law came from England to visit us last year she gave us the couple “Promise." She said that when she first saw the statue it was like looking at a reflection of my husband and me together. We have been married for five years. We lost our baby last year, and hope soon God can bless us with “Our Gift." Thank you for looking after our hearts and giving hope to our souls.

I just recently lost my best friend at the age of 23. She loved to collect all the different Willow Trees throughout different stages of her life. She even got one tattooed on her back. I've been finding it so hard without her. She was such a loving, caring and strong woman. She saved my life two years ago and I'm forever grateful. She was my guardian angel! I'm getting a tattoo of the Remembrance Angel and Guardian Angel intertwined, and it will represent my dear best friend Kristy. I will miss you forever but you will always be in my heart. Love you, Bec

My mother-in-law gave us this piece today. We just brought our newborn home from the hospital after she was admitted 1 week ago for RSV. We could have lost our 3 week old baby girl, but hundreds of family and friends prayed for our little girl to heal. God is good, and he does have 'Guardian Angels' watching over all of us.

I bought this for my neice as she always asks me for advice no matter what it is, and she said I'm like her guardian angel and guiding star. So one Christmas I saw this and bought it for her and now it sits proudly on her shelf and whenever she looks at it she knows if ever she needs me I will be there.

I bought this angel as a christening gift to my niece/Goddaughter and wrote her a poem that i framed. The poem is about how I am always going to be her guardian angel who watches over her no matter what.

Susan,
I just want you to know that your angels are so healing and inspirational. We started collecting them when my mother battled cancer. Our mother is an angel and that is what drew us to your beautiful collection. She is cancer free now and we all have found such strength in these amazing angels.
Through the years we have give them as gifts to our friends and families in many different situations. Since July my 10-year-old daughter Cailtyn has been in and out of the ICU at Loma Linda hospital in Ca. Every day we have surrounded her hospital bed or where ever she is with your angels, especially the Angel of Courage and the Angel of Patience. One of the first things she could remember was the Angel of Courage. She has found such strength and peace in this. We just want to say thank you for being an inspiration Susan. Each Angel is a meaningful masterpiece!
On Christmas Caitlyn, my family and I have decided we would like to deliver the Angel of Courage to some of the kids in the ICU and to the nurses. This was Caitlyn’s idea. There were so many sick kids; we want to place an angel by their bedside. We hope that they can find in your collection the comfort, wisdom, and positive feeling that we have found over these trying times.
Happy Holidays,
Stephanie
