A couple of months ago, we shared the story of Latino USA producer Sayre Quevedo as he searched for his lost family in an episode titled, “The Quevedos,” which was nominated for Best Audio Documentary at the 2018 IDA Awards. Today, we bring you a moment from Sayre’s search that never made it to air, when he learns something important about his grandmother Alicia.

This story was produced in collaboration with the Canadian Broadcasting Company’s radio show Love Me, which is all about the messiness of human connection. You can hear more from “Love Me” at cbc.ca/Loveme or wherever you listen to podcasts.
