My Girls
Looking at you, I see wonder, joy, strength
This piece was directed by the models. The poses that the girls naturally assumed showed their relationship with their dad much better than I could have instructed them. Their father was the anchor—the girls fluttered around him. I got a sense of how the girls saw him as strong and reassuring. They looked at him with a “my dad can do anything” look. The dad was clearly having fun being with his daughters. I wanted to make this a two-way piece—the girls look to his strength and stability, and he looks to them as his greatest source of joy. I think the beauty of a good father/daughter relationship is in its duality. I hope the sentiment can be read from either perspective —father to daughters, or daughter to father.
Your Stories 
I had been seeking a Willow Tree figurine to represent me and my two daughters for sometime. A few days ago, I decided to search again online, and found #26232 'My Girls'. I simply had to order one, as I wanted it more than ever, since splitting from my wife. It will have pride of place on my fireplace and I can't wait to show my daughters the next time they visit.

My father passed away just under three weeks ago on June 7th. He was 51 years old. It was especially difficult considering Father's Day was this past Sunday, and also my 20th birthday was this past Wednesday. My dad had two girls, me being the youngest of the two. We both have our father's curly brown hair, and look so much like this figurine. I saw this figurine online and expressed how much I loved it. Today, I opened my birthday gift from my Father's girlfriend to find myself holding the "My Girls" figurine in my hands. I have now ordered one to send to my sister, as well. Thank you, Susan Lordi, for making such a beautiful piece that can solidify such wonderful memories for those who may sometimes feel lost.

I gave my husband 'My Girls' for Father's Day this year. The story is behind this gift is very ironic to our family. We have two beautiful little girls, and every Valentine's Day, my husband takes them to the Father-Daughter Dance. They love it!! This year unbeknownst to us the local newspaper took a picture of them dancing with their daddy. We did not know this until the paper came out the next week with them on the front page. The pose was exactly like that of your figurine. When I came upon it a couple months later I knew it would make the best Father's Day gift!

My mom bought my sister and I both our own My Girls piece for Father's Day 2010 in memory and honor of our daddy. Our dad passed away a couple years ago of cancer. As children and adults we were very close to our father. When I received this I cried. There is no better way to represent the love our dad had for us and the love we had/have for him. What a beautiful work of art this is!

I bought this gift for my husband for Father's Day. It's such a exquisite piece. We have two daughters whom he adores and I caught him gazing at the sculpture for a long time. I think he loved it.

I am getting this for my husband for Fathers Day. We have two girls who adore their daddy. My husband cherishes his daughters to no end. Our youngest always gives "daddy pulls" just like this. I see my family in this all over it.

Our son has two beautiful little girls. His oldest daughter Giana was diagnosed with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome. Giana had spinal surgery last year. Her little sister Luciana looks up to her sister and spends many hours in the car visiting Drs. The girls' daddy loves them so much and is so proud of them. They are what makes his life so fulfilling with love. I am buying this figurine and giving this to the girls' dad when we leave for our trip. Our family has Willow figurines in our homes.
Sincerely,
Anna Gould
Danny's mom...and Giana and Luciana's Grandma
