Mother and Son
Celebrating the bond of love between mothers and sons
I was thinking about the relationship between a mother and a son of about nine or ten — that certain age when boys start fiercely asserting their independence — and resisting hugs and kisses from their mothers. And yet, at the same time, secretly needing and wanting them. I wanted this sculpture to express that push and pull. Liking the touch but at the same time, pulling away.

This angel is the first Willow Tree angel I received from my son, Phillip. We had been to Gulf Shores, Al and I love the beach. It is a gift from God and all of His beauty, looking over the ocean and watching for the dolphins.
Since that time I have received several of the Willow Tree angels, and I have just given Phillip and his wife Amy the father and mother holding a new born child.

I have been so pleased with your collection. It is my "go to" for any occasion. I have given them to many friends as a gift for birthdays, anniversaries. birth of children. Recently my friend's son was killed in a car accident, and I immediately knew that your Mother and Son figurine would be the perfect memorium. It symbolized their bond. It meant so much to her.
I myself have a collection of your figures. Every one of them holds a special memory of either my daughters or of an occasion in our lives.
Your collection represents life in still form. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Lisa

My first Willow Tree (Thank You) was given to me by my cheerleaders as a gift of thanks. My second figurine was given to me by a very tearful group of cheerleaders two weeks after my 32-year-old son died in a motorcycle accident. It is the Mother and Son figurine. All I could do was sob. These teen-age girls found something that encompassed a mother's love for her son at a time my heart was broken and it showed me their love. These two figurines sit in a very prominent place in my home and each time I pass them I am reminded that love comes from many different walks of life. None is less important than the other. Susan Lordi has captured love in each of her collection pieces. Now Willow Tree figurines are my gift of choice to a daughter, a student aide, a friend, or me whenever an expression of love is needed and words aren't enough.

As a teenager, I decided that my Mother needed to be recognized for all the things she did for me, so every year on *MY* birthday, I would buy her a gift just to say "Thanks for being my mom". As a father, I'm now teaching my children that, at some point on their birthday, they need to step outside of themselves and get a gift for their mother. This year, I was very happy to be able to take my 8-year old autistic son to pick up this figurine for his mother, and the look on her face when he hugged her and said "Thank you, Mommy!" was absolutely unforgettable.

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.
