Also referred to: Echoe Matthews. She was the red-headed, fragrant little girl who sat on the porch of her mother in Edirne, Colorado with her two best friends. And always had a soft, romantic little touch for little girls like that young red-haired red-headed girl named Echoe Matthews. They were best friends growing up and shared a lot of their time together, especially when they could go hiking or fishing.
When Sarah was seven years old, her parents decided it would be a good idea for her to start going to school. So she enrolled in the elementary school in her town, but she still continued to hang around with her friends from the ages of seven to thirteen. And when she got to thirteen years old, her parents divorced. Sarah and her best friend decided to stay friends shortly after. They went on their first ever date, which was a success. And after that, they became inseparable.
Since then Sarah and Echoe are best friends. Their parents are close in age and they never imagined they would become so close in such a strange manner. However, when they announced that they were going on a “date evening”, their parents were both shocked and delighted. And on this night, Sarah and Echoe cooked an elaborate meal, just the two of them, of their favorite things.
One day, as the two girls walked in the garden, they discovered a stuffed monkey hanging on a fence post. It took them a few minutes to get down to the stump and pull it down. They laughed at themselves as they saw the funny face on the monkey. It was exactly what they remembered as children, cartoons, fairies and princesses, all the things they loved. It was the type of thing they talked about all the time.
That’s how it happened. A few years later, on a bright spring day, they were sitting in the backyard, eating lunch when suddenly the phone rang. Sarah and Echoe heard the familiar ring of the telephone bell. It was their mother. They looked at each other and noticed a tear in their eyes.
Their mother, bless her heart, handed them each a small envelope. The envelope contained a letter that began like any other letter, beginning with a capital “A”. It said, “Dear Sarah ,…we believe you two might be best friends.” On the inside of the letter was also written, “To Our Little Girl: Our daughter has become our friend, and we would like to inform her that we love her very much, and will always support her interests and opinions, and her dreams, whatever they are. Thank you in advance for your kindness, and prayers, in raising our daughter.”
