When I was pregnant with my daughter, after having two boys already, and naming my second boys middle name after my brother Shayd, Darcy started asking me who I was going to name the baby after if this one was a girl. I could tell she was hinting around. Occasionally throughout the pregnancy she would mention it. Needless to say, Danielle Darcia it was. Darcy was so happy I named her after her, and she's a lot like her aunt Darcy, stubborn with a heart of gold, and she loves animals like Darcy did. When we were kids, she always came home with stray animals. I will forever love you Darcy.
Well when I was 16 I got my butt kicked pretty bad bye A Spaulding High School senior defensive linbacker that was 19. He was a big boy and made quick work of kicking my butt. I remember about 2 hours after it happened I was at a friends house who's mother was friends with Darcy. Darcy stopped to visit and saw me her little brother with a black eye and a busted lip. She imediately told me to get in her car and show her where this big 19 year old lived. Once we got to his house Darcy got out and knocked on the door. Out came this big tough guy yelling and screaming at Darcy to get the hell off his property. Soon he was yelling and screaming for Darcy to stop slapping the crap out of him. I remember her saying to him a big tough guy like you and a woman is kicking your butt hows it feel. Take in mind she did this with a dress and high heels on. I never heard another word from that guy. No one and I mean no one messed with Darcy's siblings. If you did there was a good chance you would get an ass whooping from our protector. My heart is aching. Iloved her more than words can explain.
