I have been divorced for 8 years and have played Mother & Father to a 24 year old son and an almost 22 year old daughter. My kids are great but the typical youth that do not appreciate mom at all, or at least I thought so. This year my daughter gave me the Mother and Daughter figure with the most beautiful card anyone can imagine. I don't think there is another gift I will ever cherish more, until they give me grandchildren I guess. Thank you for this piece; I know I will now start collecting Willow Tree.
I plan on giving this to my mom for Mother's Day. Growing up, in my home country of Germany, my mom was my best friend. Now as a grown woman we live 4000 miles apart. I miss her every day, and it nearly breaks my heart not being able to be with her on a regular basis. This figurine is so fitting for the two of us.
I was going through the very toughest time in my entire life. My very dearest friend purchased me my very first Willow Tree of the mother and daughter to symbolize our strength and love that we have in each other. My mother, about six months later, also purchased me the Angel of Hope figure. I held those two so close to my heart. The gesture meant so much to me. My youngest daughter and I have been sharing the joy of collecting Willow Tree since Christmas. I purchased her one from the Roses in the Garden collection. These figurines just speak to me. The care that goes into their beauty is priceless. They will remain a tradition that my daughter and I will share together for many many years to come. Thank you!
When I look at this piece it reminds me of my step daughter. She is 8 now and I have raised her since she was 3 months old. We have had our ups and downs but I look at her as if she were my first born. We are close, like a true mother and daughter, and I couldn't imagine my life without her. I would like to think I have done my best and that I have been a good step parent to her, and that no matter where she is in her life she will always think of me as being her mom and will always stay close to me.
10 years ago, I joined the Navy and left behind 2 great kids, 5 years old and 18 months. Today I remind each of them just how much I love them, miss them and how they are very close to my heart each and every day no matter where I might be stationed. I've sent each of my kids the Mother and Son & Mother and Daughter. The figurines keep my heart from breaking every time I think of them. Thank you.
