I live in New Zealand. My granddaughter lives in Brisbane. She sent me "Miss You." It is so, so sweet. In its simplicity, it has such a lot of meaning. Such a beauty, I cannot stop looking at it. What a wonderful present to a grandmother.
Thank you to the artist.
The 9th of Oct. this year will mark a year since I lost my boyfriend, and on the 10th, a year for a mutal friend of ours. It has been a very rough year. When I was in a store I found the Miss You Angel, and it just made me think of them. It was the perfect little one that I have next to their picture on my desk. I love all the Willow Tree Angels and have a few others; they always makes me think of the people that I've lost.
We first purchased a Willow Tree memory box, Heart of Gold, after we lost our beautiful baby boy Harry. We now have a memory shelf with Harry's scan photo and the Miss You figurine. My partner today brought me the home figure to go with the other Willow Tree items. They have brought us such comfort. The Home figurine reminds us of how happy we were to be expecting, and gives us the hope of expecting again.
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
My husband and I moved many miles away from all family due to his military career. During my husband's first deployment, my sister sent this figure to me. It was my first, and I quickly started my collection after receiving this one, but this will always have a special place in my heart. It reminds me that even though we are far apart, my family is always thinking about us.
When I had to move away for university I was finding the distance from my parents really hard. For my birthday my Mum sent "Miss You" to me. I sat it next to my computer so everytime I see it I think of her.
We moved to Germany, with the Army in 2009 when I was 7 months pregnant. I delivered my son on December 16, 2009. Four days after he was born he was in the hospital fighting, and he recovered. He came home and was with us for a month before passing unexpectedly in his sleep. I got so many gifts, flowers, and cards--but the most meaningful gifts I received were my Willow Trees. I received a Remembrance Keepsake Box, the Serenity Angel, and the Miss You figurine. I have collected these for a very long time, and I feel like they tell the story of my journey.
