I never would have imagined a little angel would have such an impact. Here is my story. My niece lost her 17year old brother to cancer this past December. I wanted to do something special for her, and after looking through all the angels I had decided to purchase the "Keepsake" angel. I went to the store, found the angel and picked it up, but something kept turning my eyes towards the "Sign for Love" angel. The feeling for this angel was so strong that i decided to put back my original"Keepsake"angel and purchase the "Sign for Love" angel. I gave it to my niece and her eyes lit up. She said she and her brother used to sign when they were little kids so their mom didn't know what they were talking about, and then she said the last time she saw him alert before going unconsious he signed to her. (I knew none of this until that day she told me.) it was then that I realized this Angel had much more meaning to it than I could ever imagine. Once i realized this, I told her to put one with her brother "to take with him" and i bought her another one to keep. That way they would both have one. The "Sign for Love" has now taken on a whole new meaning to me.
I have this angel sitting on some old apple crates next to the most precious picture I own, my oldest daughter Kaitlyn. She left me to be with Jesus when she was 4 1/2 months old. This was the hardest, most terrifying moment of my life. When I saw this angel in the store I immediatly had to have it, to put next to her photo. It sits in my dining room and I look at it a hundred times a day; it always makes my heart warm every single time! Thank you for giving me an angel almost as beautiful as my angel Kaitlyn.
I received this angel from my mom this past Christmas. I am deaf and was so touched by its beauty. I also have With Affection. This form of Art is so inspiring Thank you so much for creating it. May God continue to bless you as you do his work.
I have a small collection of Willow Tree figurines; my first one was given to me by my grandparents. I love the way a Willow Tree figurine can express exactly what you want to say to a loved one.
My husband taught our 15 month old niece how to say "I love you" in sign language. When I found the Sign for Love Willow Tree Angel I knew it was the perfect piece to start her collection. We gave the angel to our niece for her 2nd birthday and we hope that as she grows up it will always serve as a reminder to her of how much she means to us.
