Kahuna says

When my Gramma was younger she had a skin condition that was horrible. She was basically one big sore all the time. She remembers that in the mornings they would have to peel away her sheets and she would scream and the sheet would take part of her flesh. They had tried numerous solutions but it would not go away. During this time another child was born, they named him Gabriel. He was born with a hair lip or something like that. At wits end from the horrors that plagued their children they went to see a Kahuna. He told them, "One must die so the other may live." Shortly after that Gabriel passed away and Gramma's skin condition cleared up. My Gramma had the softest skin around but when you looked at it you could see what looked like scale marks on her. When you went to touch her you felt nothing but smooth soft skin.

My Gramma was convinced probably till the very end that this incident is what caused her father to hate her. She always believed that he didn't like her. If fact when she told another story that involves her and my grandfather taking him to court. She said that in court he stated that he hated her. "Go look. It is in the court records that he said that to me." She would say all the time.

Selfish as it is to say, I'm glad she lived.
