This was so strange....

This morning I went to the funeral of

a friend's father, well-known in Hawaii.

There was a 52 year old "paperboy" named

Daniel among those attending. (he sells

newspapers in one of our finest Honolulu

neighborhoods)

Small, scrawny and sweet as a button, but you

could tell he also has slight mental impairment.

Well, what bothered us was that he had to take

a bus to get to the funeral, which was on the

other side of the island near the sea, and because

of that he did not get to the service until near the

end, but just before the lunch.

Bothered us because he is none other than the

only brother of Bette Midler (yes the Divine M);

I mean, there she is with her millions and

her brother had to take a bus and be late????

Apparently he lives with his other sister Susan

in that neigborhood, but still...hmmmmm....it just

did not seem right to us.

What would you have thought??

HUGS,

Cindy

I think it is true that others never really undertand the dynamics of families other than their own...and sometimes we don't even understand our own! LOL! I don't pay attention to these celebrities and their-whatever but since a few here have expressed what I feel...that he may be determined to do as much independantly of his sisters as he can...I hesitate to bad-mouth Ms Middler. A polite, concerned e-mail would not be inappropriate, I think. After all, she may not even know what's happening there. There could be a whole slew of reasons for his taking the bus. Hugs for our sweet Dindy!

You're right, family dynamics is always an

interesting subject lol.

Yeah, maybe if it wasnt a funeral he was

late for, it might have not looked so sad.

love,

Cindy
