“Todo sucede por una razon” (Everything happens for a reason).

Coming from her it means a lot. She lived in great wealth and happiness in Cuba and lost all of it when it was seized and she was exiled with nothing but the contents of a suitcase. To hear her be able to say that everything happens for a reason and really believe it has comforted me many times and whenever I remember her words, the reason why things happened often becomes clear.
