When I think of fathers who have made an impact on my life, I first think of my dad, George E. Sanford. My dad's message to his children was be happy but don't hurt anyone along the way. He was an artist, a poet, a writer, a teacher, and a preacher of the Methodist faith. Dad passed away five years ago, but his memories remain.
The second influential fatherI've known is Truett George, Jr., my husband and the father of my children.
Truett is a stained glass artist and craftsman, a wood worker, a business man, and a politician. But most of all, he is the father of my two children and a wonderful grandfather. Truett has provided me with excitement and adventure for 38 years of our married life. Happy Father's Day, Truett.
And the third father who has had an impact in my life is Sam Markham. He is my daughter's husband and father of our grandchildren, Maddie and Oliver. He is easy going and generous. Sam is an endodontics dentist and an avid Gator fan. Go Gators and Happy Father's Day, Sam. You're a great father.
