End of the day

The last event at the conference was a performance by Rory Feek. Rory is a storyteller, songwriter, and singer/performer. When CMT created the first country version of American Ideal. Rory and his wife Jo were contestants. They won third and since that had a television show on RDTV. 

Seven years ago, they were blessed with their first child. A little girl with down syndrome. Shortly after having her, Jo was diagnosed with cancer. Soon after their daughter Indiana turned two, Jo lost that fight. For the last five years, besides raising his daughter to help him cope with the loss of his wife. Rory has continued to appear on RDTV with a new show that records his day-to-day. It reminds me very much of a video blog and helps him come to terms with his loss.

Back in 2019, Rory and his daughter attended that year's HOA Conference. He enjoyed it so much he was going to return last year. We all know why that didn't happen. This year he attended and performed. It was a lot of fun seeing him live after seeing him only on Tv.

The performance was a lot of fun. He told stories, sang songs, and even shared some new music from his first solo album. We, unfortunately, did not have the chance to talk to him. We did see him around the conference besides at the performance. It was a wonderful experience.

That was the end of all the events of the conference. Do not worry; I still have a little more to share with you all. Until next time.
