QUOTE : She took his hand and put it over Haley’s on the inscribed name. “Michael, you met this young man before I did. I hope you saw just how happy he makes our Haley.” Her voice was more husky than usual, but she kept talking. Haley let her own tears flow. “I hope you saw that he’s exactly the kind of man you always admired most, a man who understands the value of service and a man with a deep sense of honor.” She caught her breath, but carried on. Haley reached over, but her mom put Haley’s hand in Damon’s, holding them together between her own.
