But now here in Puerto Rico with Suave's family, and I'm hearing more about his mother, I'm starting to understand that she was somebody who was suffering through a tremendous amount of trauma as a little girl, you know, as not even a teenager herself. And she had to make her life happen on her own terms.

So I'm finally getting the picture that she was someone who found a way to get by in a world that had not been kind to her.

Take the story about Suave's aunt, his tia, who they say was beaten by her husband in the United States, right, in Florida. When the family found out that this man had lifted a hand to her, the cousins say they boarded a flight to Miami and showed up the next day.

They threatened the husband, took her out of the home, and literally put her on the plane right back to Puerto Rico, no questions asked.

Suave, when you talk about, you know, when you get out of prison in 2017, you remember the first year or two, you had such a desire to bring your family together. And I was always like, I don't see it.

And, you know, this was really hard to understand why Suave was so dead set in reuniting with his siblings when, yo, they didn't even show up. They didn't visit. They didn't write. I mean, how come he wasn't angry? And this is something that, honestly, I didn't understand. But now being here, I think what you wanted so desperately to make happen in Philly was really... You're crying now.

And now it turns out, Suave... Here in Puerto Rico, in fact, you have found that family.
