Heart of Gold

You will always have my heart

Brand: Willow Tree® by DEMDACO
Part Number: 26142

Celebrate the extraordinary impact of a kind and courageous spirit with Willow Tree® Heart of Gold, a deeply moving sculpture by renowned artist Susan Lordi. Created to honor the innocence, resilience, and unconditional love found in the heart of a child, this touching figurine reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can leave a lasting legacy.

Gracefully holding a radiant gold heart close to his chest, Heart of Gold symbolizes compassion, hope, generosity, and the enduring love shared between a child and those who cherish him. Whether celebrating a beloved son, grandson, student, or friend, this meaningful sculpture expresses the quiet yet powerful message, "You will always have my heart."

Unlike many Willow Tree® pieces, Heart of Gold carries a deeply personal story. Susan Lordi created this sculpture after meeting Scott Kristopher Innes, a young cancer patient at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. Despite his illness, Scott's remarkable optimism, kindness, and joyful spirit touched everyone around him, inspiring this heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary difference one loving heart can make.

Susan Lordi shares:

"Scott's boundless and positive energy reflected on those around him, and as a result, good things continue to radiate from his spirit. His courageous spirit and kind smile showed me how one little heart of gold can continue to bring so much love, joy and comfort to others. It is my hope that this figure expresses the pure and honest affection between a child and those who love and care for him."

Each Willow Tree® sculpture begins as an original hand-carved design by Susan Lordi in her Kansas City studio before being cast in resin and individually hand-painted. The signature faceless design allows each viewer to see someone special reflected within the piece, making Heart of Gold a deeply personal keepsake that honors love, courage, compassion, and remembrance.

Standing 5.5 inches tall, Heart of Gold makes a meaningful display on a bookshelf, bedside table, mantel, nursery shelf, office, or memorial space, offering comfort and inspiration for years to come.
