This song sums up loss of someone close. When I un expectly lost my 2 day old daughter this song summed up the raw emotions my wife and I had. The willow is the family, the first verse is about the unforseen un expected, Doctor saying "there is a problem with your daughters heart", the second verse is about acceptance, she was fragile and she could not endure this world perfect as she was, the third verse is about letting go, she showed us that we could love as parents, holding your own baby is so unique, and the memories of her are always strong, even now and we will join her again one day when it is our time to fly. She will never be broken again.
