Close to Me

Apart or together, always close to me.

Brand: Willow Tree® by DEMDACO
Part Number: 26222

Celebrate the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter with Close to Me, a touching Willow Tree® figurine by acclaimed artist Susan Lordi. Beautifully sculpted to express a relationship that grows and changes through every stage of life, this heartfelt keepsake reminds us that true love remains constant—whether loved ones live across the room or across the world.

Gracefully portraying a mother and daughter standing side by side, Close to Me captures the delicate balance of nurturing independence while holding onto an enduring emotional connection. Flowing, intertwined carvings on their dresses symbolize lives forever woven together, reflecting the shared experiences, memories, and unconditional love that bind generations.

Inspired by her own experiences as both a daughter and a mother, Susan Lordi designed this sculpture to honor the emotions surrounding life's transitions—graduations, marriages, new careers, moving away from home, and every milestone that reminds us that distance can never diminish love.

Like every Willow Tree® sculpture, Close to Me is intentionally created without detailed facial features, allowing each family to see their own story reflected in its elegant simplicity. Its timeless design invites personal interpretation, making it a treasured keepsake for mothers, daughters, grandmothers, and families everywhere.

Standing 8 inches tall, this hand-painted resin figurine is carefully cast from Susan Lordi's original carving and finished by hand to preserve every graceful detail. Whether displayed on a mantel, bookshelf, bedside table, or as part of a Willow Tree® Family Grouping, it serves as a daily reminder that those we love are never truly far away.

Perfect for Mother's Day, birthdays, graduations, weddings, or simply to remind someone they are always loved, Close to Me speaks softly through gesture while conveying one of life's most meaningful truths—that family is forever.

Susan Lordi's Inspiration

"This piece reflects the relationship between mother and daughter that evolves throughout life. We encourage independence while holding close the emotional bonds that never change. The carved imagery intertwining their dresses symbolizes lives forever connected, whether together or apart."
