Remembrance

Memories... hold each one safely in your heart

"This piece is all about memories — how warm, comforting memories help us to heal when we’re missing someone. If you look closely at the carved icons on her dress, each recalls a memory by appealing to our senses… touch, scent, taste, sound, sight. We keep these personal memories safe within us, connecting us to those we love."

I started my Mom with the Willow Tree Nativity several years ago and have been giving her various angels over the years.  Imagine my delight and suprise when a co-worker gave me the Angel of Remembrance when my Dad passed away from cancer a week ago! I find peace and comfort just looking at the angel and thinking of all the memories my Dad and I made together. I am very fond of the angels and very impressed by the simple and profound artistry of each piece.

I recently lost my great aunt Janet, she was like a grandmother to me.  This loss is still hard to accept and hard to recognize.  I knew at some point I would get something else, other than gifts I'd be given from her, to remember her on a daily basis.  I went shopping at the mall this weekend and a week ago I purchased a Willow Tree plaque for my mother for her birthday and I think I fell in love.  I stood at the display racks of Willow Trees in this Hallmark store for about 15 mintues.  When I finally got it together I saw this Remembrance angel; I didn't have to think twice if it was the right one.  My aunt was a person that changed my life, inside and out and I miss her so much.  But my love for her is still growing and her spot in my heart is larger then the hole that was ripped two weeks ago.
