I am proud to call her a friend. I didn't originally name her in this post, because I wasn't sure exactly what her comfort level with public exposure was, and I didn't want to out her without permission, so to speak. If you (or she) would like me to edit this post, and name her, and/or link to anything your heart desires, I would be HONORED to do so. Please let me know.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-59959176907576655222013-10-22T18:47:50.958-05:002013-10-22T18:47:50.958-05:00That young lady is my daughter, her name is Jordan...That young lady is my daughter, her name is Jordan Brooks. She is amazing but of course I am partial being I am the mom! Heather DID save my daughters life, and I will be FOREVER in debt to her for befriending jordan, and listening and being there when she felt that was the only place she could turn. I learned a lot from that conference! I am so grateful we were able to attend!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738182239889957566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-68240708631110201352013-10-22T16:23:32.965-05:002013-10-22T16:23:32.965-05:00I forgot you brought that up!

Usually it's just through reading that kids are saved (think of 13 Reasons Why, Empty, and other books). What Heather did, befriending that young girl and bringing her up on stage at the conference, is touching. Joanne R.
