I think a small embroidered K somewhere on a white stripe on your shirt (perhaps on the arm, near the bottom) would be perfect. It need not be black as far as I'm concerned -- make it Kassidy's favorite color.

As others have said, I hope that you continue to heal and that your faith remains strong.

How about a small black patch, with her initials in pink, placed on the back of the shirt just below the neckline? This is where some officials put the flag. It seems like a reasonable place for a patch.

As others have said, I cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through...as far as honoring her, the best way that you can do that is to live your life in a way that will make her proud of her daddy. For reffing, put a monogram or patch on your shirt, but I would also put a patch on the sleeve of my jacket - that way you have something people can see during the warm-up times too.

I hope this doesn't sound silly and I apologize if it does, but did she have a favorite article of clothing? You might take a small swatch of that, embroider her initial on it and sew it on your jacket or shirt.

Again, there is no way we can even come close to understanding the pain you must be going through, but I hope you take comfort in the fact that we all support you and wish you the best.

Your sense of loss must be overwhelming some days. I hope you'll always know that there is a love and strength that will always be with you. No one undertands how you feel better than our Lord does. The best way to honor your daughter will be to be the honorable man, Christian, (father if you have other kids,) and husband that she would want you to be. Also, always try to keep her best qualities, of which she obviously had many, alive. As for your uniform and how you wish to do something, you have had many good suggestions. What is it that you really want to do and what will be meaningful to you? It is such a personal thing. Do what you need to do and don't look back! Hang in there. Many people are still praying for you and your family. Have a great season. And if you need some extra support post here. There's some good guys who will respond with support!

Danny,

I can't add much to what others have said. Open your mind and your heart, and you'll find what is right for you.

Peace be with you and your family. You are all still in our thoughts and prayers as your healing process continues.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss...I know all too well that it is a tough road to go down, my prayers go out to you and your family...Our baseball umpires association lost an umpire last season and for the remainder of the season we wore black armbands with his initials on it, and those of us who were really close to him still wear them...
