Willow Tree That’s My Dad

The 4 inches hand-painted resin figurine represents the seated figure of man in light gray shirt and blue jeans with a younger boy in cream shirt and blue jeans, leaning over his back. “When my son was young, I remember how he craved physical playtime with his Dad—wrestling on the floor, big bear hugs, being silly, running, climbing, jumping; it didn’t matter, just that they were together, laughing, spending time in the moment. Years later, I realised all of that physical interaction was a powerful way for dad and son to communicate—and how it formed a strong base of trust and love for a lifetime.” –Susan Lordi
