I just want you to know that as the oldest and I being
your older sister, that and I have enjoyed every moment of
our childhood and our lives together.
DeniseWell, Mother always told us that no matter what,
we had each other.
We truly do.
DeniseI remember when I got pregnant. And then you got
pregnant. I think that was one of the most special times in
our lives. We got to be pregnant together. We became
mothers together.
I agree. It’s so great having a
family like ours because we always
end up taking care of each other. We
never have to worry. We’re there for
each other and we always will be.
DeniseThat is the biggest part.
Being your friend and your sister and knowing that whether
we’re good, bad, ugly, or whatever, we are always there for
each other. We grew up together and then we grew up again
together as women when we had our children. And now we
are going to grow into grandmothers together.
We just get to keep experiencing the best things in
life, with each other.
Yes, we do. And we are so blessed for it.
So, we’ve been together in our business for 14 years.
We’ve been doing hair for 26 years. We still have some of the
same clients we had when we started. I think a lot of that is
because you are very ambitious and have an incredible work
ethic. You are very conscience of what you do for each of your
clients and it shows.
DeniseWell, you are also very goal driven. You are also very
OCD, but in a good way. You want everything to be perfect.
I am picky. That’s no secret.
DeniseAnd your heart is as big as Texas. I don’t think that a lot
of people realize that you do have a great, big heart.
I know that I can come across very strong and if
someone asks me a question or for advice, I will share my
opinion with them. I will typically
say, are you sure you want to hear
this? And then I’ll tell them.
Yes, you will. I know you
will. (laughing)
Hey, communication is the
key. That’s the reason why you and I have stayed so close. We
talk everything through with one another.
DeniseAs we were growing up, and me being the youngest,
which I thought was a disadvantage back then. But now, when
I look back and reflect, you were my leader. You always made
sure that nobody hurt or made fun of me. I always wanted to be
where you were because you were the person that I wanted to
be when I grew up. I always knew that there was nobody in my
life that would love, protect and honor me the way that you do.
You were my baby sister. My only job in life was to
protect you.
DeniseYeah, and that included every time I got in trouble. Even
when you were the reason, I got into trouble...
