I will miss her terribly, but at the same time, I am so happy and excited for her. It is a personal message to my daughter, that regardless of whether we’re apart or together, she’s always close to me.The sentiment applies to any age… a child going away to camp, a teenager leaving for college… the message is the same. The intertwined images carved on the figures’ dresses visually echo this sentiment. I understand this piece from both sides — having been a daughter, and having gone through the experience of raising a daughter to adulthood. I hope both mothers and daughters will connect to the emotions of this piece.” —Susan Lordi\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Willow Tree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49259027071190,"sku":"26222","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3199\/9190\/files\/26222_ba6a2665-976d-4444-85e5-07ae056819d4.jpg?v=1784269879","url":"https:\/\/www.pepperfields.com.au\/products\/willow-tree-close-to-me","provider":"Pepperfields","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
