How to honor my daughter

Hey guys. Just want to thank everyone of you for your kind words,prayers and support during the passing of my daughter Kassidy. As you know basketball season is around the corner. I used to take Kassidy along with her sister Courtney to alot of my games last year. I want to do something to honor Kassidy during my games( a white ribbon on my shirt for example), I would like to get your advice about something to honor her. I have talked to my assigner and he has given me the ok. What do you guys think???

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I never lost one, but came pretty close. More than once as it turns out.

Whatever you do is what you do.

You are in my thoughts.

Swvaref,

My heart aches for you and your family when I read the journal and look at the pictures.

Like Dan says, you'll figure out what is the best way to honor her. It'll just come to you and be the right thing.

You are in my thoughts.

Kevin

On one hand, I think just going back out will be honoring Kassidy's memory. If it were me, I think I'd have a small K monogrammed into the one of sleeves. I'm afraid a ribbon would be a problem - how do you attach it? what happens if it falls off? I'd think a local sporting goods store would be willing to stitch it in for you on your shirts for little or no cost.

I would also think that just before the ball is tossed in every game, a glance heavenward to acknowledge Kassidy is watching you ref would be a nice gesture too. After all, this is something that will help you remember and that pause will certainly do that.

The fact that you want to honor and remember your sweet daughter is a wonderful thought. Best wishes to you and your family.

You will honor her by keeping her memory alive. You will honor her by telling your story.

I hope I never have to experience what you have gone through. I cannot even imagine your situation and I am not a parent. Just continue your life with her memory close by. I am sure people will learn from your situation and telling your story will be the best way to honor her in every way.

Peace

God Bless you and your family swvaref. I have two daughters around Kassidy's age and can't imagine the pain you've endured. May you find peace among your family and friends.

I like the idea of the small monogrammed K on your sleeve. Heck, I'd even do it in pink.
