Enesco Willow Tree Musical, Happiness

I bought this for my Goddaughter's Christening. Parents loved it and play it to her at bedtime, something she can keep into adulthood and also a statement that a guardian angel is watching over her in my absence.

Very pleased with the packaging and delivery of this item. The figurine was just as I expected as in the picture. I would definitely recommend this figurine and have since purchased more Willow Tree figurines.

Present

I wanted a piece that could serve as a comforting memory to my daughter who lost her baby. Very poignant piece.

Very beautiful

I bought this as a small memorial for my lost baby. I loved the fact that it was a musical and of course that it played Brahms Lullaby, very apt. For me it was absolutely perfect as I wanted something that was sweet, was a little different from the usual figurines and had a special meaning for me. I can display this openly without anyone ever asking questions what it is for. unlike if i had gotten a plaque or wall hanging for a lost baby.The only think i did not like is that when would up the music box actually plays the music quite fast -- well faster than what the music is normaly played at.

Granddaughter birthday gift. It is well made. Looks pretty. Music is nice. Hope she loves it.

The package was carefully well packed. Very happy with the quality of the musical figure.

Diese Spieluhr ist wunderschön.Die Melodie und der Klang sehr schön.Ein toller Kauf zum Weiterempfehlen.

Beautiful.. Very Happy..

This review is from: Demdaco Willow Tree Figurine, Guardian (Misc.)I first saw this figurine in a Hallmark store. I was so touched I could barely put it down. I immediately got online and found it(for a much better price)on Amazon.Forty-four years ago tomorrow I delivered my son prematurely. He weighed 2#10oz and lived for only five hours. The only time I saw him was in the delivery room, and he was blue.Back in those days the mothers were not allowed to hold...or even see their babies when they died. In fact, I shared a room with a mother and her healthy baby. The day after my son died someone came in the room to ask me if I wanted him circumcised...not realizing he had died. I had no good memories. I was in the hospital a week because I lost a tremendous amount of blood and needed transfusions. My husband was in Vietnam.My mom and dad had him buried without discussing it with me. I know they were trying to help but I don't even know if he was wrapped in a nice blanket or had a casket when he was buried. That haunts me to this day.I am a retired RN and spent many years working in Newborn Intensive Care. I usually was assigned to the sickest babies in the unit. I made sure every parent that wanted to was able to hold their deceased baby for as long as they needed to. I always had the baby cleaned up and dressed and wrapped in a nice blanket. Many parents had never seen their baby without tubes and wires. I would take pictures of parents with their babies. I did everything I could to assist them to have some closure.When a baby was dying and the parents weren't there, by choice or circumstance,I would pick the baby up and hug and rock him through his last minutes. I didn't want a baby to die alone as I'm sure mine did.I'm 67 and it is as fresh in my mind as it was back then. I have 3 grown children but nothing can "fix" that loss.For me this figurine is what I have needed for a long time. Yes, I still cry...and wonder....but now I have something tangible to see and hear and help me remember in a gentle way. It is beautiful.Once you have carried a baby in your womb...whether for a week or months...that baby is forever a part of you.
