By My Will

Born

I was brought into the world on July 15, 2003 by Carolett Saley Gaylet Rosealié and Dominic William Rosealié, and they named me Anastasia Lynn Rosealié. I was supposedly the cutest baby on our street in Brook Bend, Kansas. At least until Elizabeth "Liz" Banks was born. The fame was taken from underneath my feet like a carpet that needed to be thrown away. I didn't care though, we were like two peas in a pod, always having each other's backs. Our mothers would set us up together on play dates at fun places, like the day care, or at Liz's house.
My Ma always was working on her bakery-deli-gelato store. My aunt Chess took over, and Ma just basically keeps an eye on it, since she had me. She called it Mama Leave, or Mom Duty. She liked to think of me as a mistake. But that didn't last long, at terrible two's, Ma loved me with 50% of her heart, while Daddy got the other half.
My daddy was the best dad I ever knew. He'd give me piggyback rides and play airplane with me. His favorite thing to say to me was, "Why are you so adorable?" And I'd reply,"Daddy-dorabl!" We drifted apart when my sister was born on August 28, 2005.
