Willow Tree

I just finished a short story the other day using a Willow Tree figurine - father and son.

I love Willow Tree figurines. You are the first to hear this. I have told no one up til now. I give Willow Tree as gifts. I don't own any, at least I didn't until today. In the mail I got a Willow Tree figurine of a woman holding a knotted gold chain.

“Gold is also used on this piece to signify something precious and valuable. The knotted gold chain can represent a very special friendship which has endured and grown richer over the years.”

I love it because it is
Willow Tree.
I love it because it is my
first piece.

Finally I love it because it is from one of my sisters. We are in the process of redefining our relationship. She left the family unit some 28 years ago, reappearing about 3 years ago without notice. I missed her. The easy part is we never really had much of a relationship to begin with so we get to start from scratch, not having to pick up pieces so to speak, then use that as a starting point.

It is a gift, a symbol of a more precious gift to me.
