They wanted us to have True Parents a little longer, and thank God for that. A lot of changes happened in the year of 2008; it was a watershed year for our community. A lot of con- fusion was cleared up. Father introduced that concept that during the Pacific Rim era women are important. During years and years of being belittled and being treat- ed as second-class cit- izens because of what our ancestor Eve went through, we suffered a lot. I’d be the first one to say so. I don’t know how many speeches I sat through where – God bless my brothers, I love them now and they’re my greatest supporters – but they literally would make fun of us because we were women. “You’re nothing, you’re unim- portant, you’re garbage.” Imagine growing up hearing things like that. But then my broth- ers matured and grew, and you know the biggest gift? They started hav- ing daughters. And then they realized, “I love this daughter. I want my daughter to be great. Maybe I was a bit hard on my sister. Maybe if I support my sister, that’s going to inspire my daughters to be great women of God.” God works in such loving and mysterious ways.
