Dear Brooklyn,
I've always wanted to talk to the angels. To see what they were thinking when we were down here collecting your frog friends.. to know how often we actually spent together. When I first met you, you were a shy one. Until I told you I liked monkeys.. haha you always loved monkeys! We'd play in the trees together pretending to be one.
I was supposed to be there for you, but you were here for me more than anything. Thank you. Thank you for putting up with me since you were 3. There's a reason I wanted you to go play with the other kids. I needed to make sure you had someone there for you when I left. Now I can tell you growing up is scary but you also can learn so much in your life. I'm only 15 but the things I've seen has to be enough.
I need to make sure you were gonna be okay on your thirteenth birthday coming up in 2 days. I want to make sure you have the best night of your life.
I won't be near you. I'll be watching from a far. Not in a creepy way.. but in a way to check in.
I know you will be. Everyone loves you. I love you. Your my best friend. You always will be no matter where I end up. Keep wearing my hoodie? I know how much you love it.. at this point all my clothes are yours now. You look adorable in them!
In your present you'll see a key. The key is the key to my most secret box in my room. The key you used to find this letter.
But you'll also see a stuffed monkey. Two tickets to the Zoo where you and your girlfriend will go. I know she will have your back. She made sure of it.
You'll never be alone Brooky.
Every night each star you see is a memory of us together. Find a star and you remember. This note will be a memory but a memory to remind you I'm here and I haven't left.
I love you monkey
-Harper

I sigh as I put the letter in the box after folding it. I hear the giggle of an all to familiar boy. I look out the window to see Brooklyn and his friend Andy. "Come on Harper!" He yells. I laugh and nod.

Before leaving my room I look around. I see a Polaroid of Brooklyn and I on Halloween. Maybe I've been talking to an Angel all along..
