How We Met My brother, Tony Bates introduced us to one another in July, 2013. We did not communicate again until we saw one another on the Bates Family Cruise until October 2013. I will just say that it was our fault that we did not communicate. Melinda brought her sister Janelle on the cruise. So we all ate meals on the ship together and did some excursions together. Our ports of call were Miami, St, Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, St.Maarten and back to Miami. It was on 10/2713 which would have been the 34th wedding anniversary if Doug had lived but only 6 years since he had died. So, i was feeling very upset and depressed. So Melinda in her infinite wisdom saw something was bothering me, so we went into the ocean. While we were out there, I told her what was wrong and she consoled me with her sweet and kind spirit that she had demonstrated with her sister all week on the cruise. On the next morning, we started our love story.
