My Tribute to My Angel

Angel M. Spataro

October 3, 1978 - August 6, 2005

To the right is a picture of my darling Angel, who's life was ended prematurely. She was such an amazing person, someone I will forever hold dear to my heart and will never forget.

Although she is no longer with us physically, I know Angel will be there forever; watching over and protecting not only me, but everyone who truly loved her. Angel left behind a beautiful daughter named Alicia, two loving parents, and a great sister; not to mention the large extended family.

The little things are what I miss the most; seeing her beautiful smile and the dimples that crawl out from behind it, the way she looked at me, the way she made me feel; simply knowing there was someone there who truly cared about me, what I was going through, and how I felt. Never have I felt so comfortable as when I was wrapped up in the arms of my "protector," as she liked to call herself. Although I still have numerous different feelings and emotions involved, I hope Angel is now happy and peaceful, and can enjoy the rest of her days from an enjoyable place.

One Sweet Day

Sorry I never told you

All I wanted to say

And now it's too late to hold you

Cause you've flown away

So far away

Never had I imagined

Living without your smile

Feeling and knowing you hear me

It keeps me alive

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

Darling, I never showed you

Assumed you'd always be there

I took your presence for granted

But I always cared

And I miss the love we shared

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

Although the sun will never shine the same

I'll always look to a brighter day

Lord I know when I lay me down to sleep

You will always listen as I pray

And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven

Like so many friends we've lost along the way

And I know eventually we'll be together

One sweet day

Sorry I never told you

All I wanted to say...

Below you'll see a picture of the tattoo I got in memory of Angel. I had the wings incorporated so I could somehow get her name involved without having to write it out, and I simply loved this cross design, standing for eternity / eternal peace. One Sweet Day signifies my belief that I will get to see her again, on my One Sweet Day.
