Dear Avia,
You don't know me, but I am your guardian angel. You may call me Jack. I see you've had a bit of trouble down on earth, well no need to worry any further! I have arrived! Err… well, not really arrived, per say, I haven't actually showed up in front of you, I've only written you a letter. You get the point.
I guess now that I think about it, you've had more than just a bit of trouble down there. You've had quite a lot actually. I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that alone. But no matter, I am here to help! Look, I know you're being bullied. I even know about that time those boys stole your notebook and ripped out your favorite drawings. I know how much it hurts to have something you've created destroyed. And I know what it's like to have poisonous words spat at you, my family history isn't exactly perfect and not a lot of humans believe in me and being the youngest angel in Heaven I always feel like I'm failing at my job. But I promise I will do the best I can at taking care of you! And don't listen to those big meanies who belittle you! You're an amazing person! You're sweet, kind, ambitious, encouraging and hopeful. Not to mention very beautiful! Also, your passion and talent for art is beyond compare!
Hey, I know your school bullies say you're a terrible artist, I know they say you're ugly and worthless, but you're not! Indeed, you are the exact opposite! You are the best-est, most sweetest person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! And GOD has crafted you just as he wanted. He gave you those beautiful brown eyes, that lovely short, raven hair, your adorable freckles and your winning smile! He is more than proud of his wonderfully created masterpiece! You shouldn't feel ashamed of that.
Now I know what you must be thinking, "why should I listen to you? You're an angel! You're perfect!". Granted I am perfect in the way of behavior, I have not and will not sin, but when it comes to trials and torment I am anything but perfect. You see, I was very little when my eldest brother, Lucifer, rebelled. It was devastatingly heartbreaking to see my big brother thrown from our home in Heaven. Not only that, but many of my other older siblings followed Lucifer in his rebellion! I was so shattered! And all of this happened when I was only 500 years old (which is very young for an angel)! And those siblings who were once high and mighty warriors of the Lord are now hissing, spitting demons! The family that once guided and encouraged me now insult and ridicule me! My brothers who once taught me the ways of the Lord now tell me horrible lies about Him! I guess it turns out we're not as different as you thought we were, huh?
Look, I have seen your future, literally, I've seen it and you turn out better than you could've ever imagined! You become well-known, successful, wealthy and beloved by all! You have true-blue friends, a supportive family, and all the Lord's blessings! Everything anyone could ever desire!
Now Avia, I know you don't know me, but I know you. I've been watching you from heaven ever since you were born and I have to say, I couldn't be happier to be your guardian angel. I do hope you and I can be the friends.
Love, your affectionate guardian angel,
Jack
