Gold is a symbol of preciousness; the things we value. The knotted gold chain can represent a very special friendship which has endured and grown richer over the years.


My first Willow Tree, "Guardian Angel" was given to me by my daughter, after my foster baby, Kamaris, was returned to his family. Kamaris was a special baby and he was with us for nearly one year. The loss of his happy personality nearly made me give up fostering. Thankfully, I also had twin brothers at the time, and I had to go on for them. They too, also left but we found the fortitude to keep fostering. Just recently, my foster son, Conal, suprised me with "You're The Best."
I have a large collection and they all mean something special to me, each and every one. I have fostered over 100 children and many are remembered by a certain angel.
Now, the reason I am really writing this. I have been estranged from my daughter, who bought my first angel, for nearly three years. We are both too proud for our own good. Today, at the store, I saw it! "Truly Golden". So fitting, as her married name is Golden. I will leave it in her mailbox, and may the angels help us reunite.
Thank you Susan,
Today is my girlfriend's birthday, and to make it more special I gave her the "Truly Golden" Angel which denotes her last name--Golden. She and I have been friends since 1986 and we have had many golden moments together! My friend has benn fighting cancer for 2 years and I hope her next golden moment is to find out she is in remission or cured! These are my reasons behind giving her this gift of the wonderful "Truly Golden" Angel.
