I have two sisters which I love dearly but distance has kept us from being as close as I know we could be. Currently one of my sisters is dealing with serious health issues and because of the distance I can’t be there to physically help her like she needs. When I saw this figurine, I knew this would be the perfect gift for her. Every time she looks at it, I want it to be a reminder of our sisterly bond that distance can not sever, how much we love her, and are praying daily for her healing.Bought it on line and when it was delivered, I was thoroughly impressed with the size, craftsmanship, and it’s simple beauty. Cannot wait to make the trip and personally give it to her.

The “By My Side” figurine is absolutely beautiful!! The picture does not capture the significant size, stunning detailing on the bottom skirting, or the golden platform that grounds the sculpture. Also the bottom of the platform is engraved with the figurine name “By My Side”. We purchased this in honor and celebration of our sister’s 80th birthday. It’s a memorable piece that will become a family heirloom. The package was received earlier than expected and in perfect condition.

This figurine of three beautiful women reminds me of my bond with my sisters. Both of my sisters have had breast cancer. Right now, one of my sisters is battling it for the second time within two years even after a double mastectomy. The Willow Tree figurine of "By My Side" is exactly what it is like to have sisters especially in a difficult time of life.I look at this figurine and so many memories start racing through my mind. I am the oldest sister so the memories go back to when they were babies and continue to our current life. Luckily, we have stayed together in the same town and have celebrated all the holidays, birthdays, family events, and countless hours of phone conversations.Our mother passed away three years ago so our bond became stronger when Mom was ... MoreThis figurine of three beautiful women reminds me of my bond with my sisters.

Luckily, we have stayed together in the same town and have celebrated all the holidays, birthdays, family events, and countless hours of phone conversations.Our mother passed away three years ago so our bond became stronger when Mom was not the one we could turn to first. Mother-daughter relationships are incredibly powerful and the three of us miss our mother dearly. I thank God above for blessing me with my sisters. We will always be there for each other no matter what time of day or night.I fell in love with the Willow Tree figurine, By My Side, the moment I saw it at the Mary Todd's Hallmark store in Lincoln, IL. I had a 40% off coupon for the Hallmark Premiere Weekend. The store manager said that the discount would work on Willow Tree figurines. I could hardly wait for her to bring the boxed figurine for me to buy. I got it home and enjoyed the beautiful details that went into making it. The blue bottom and gold embellishments makes this figurine more stunning. I also love the height of it."By My Side" is exactly were I want my sisters to be.It will truly enjoy it each and every day!
