Rory revealed last week on his blog, This Life I Live, that he would not leave his "very fragile" wife's side to attend the show in California. Instead, going in the couple’s place were Rory’s two eldest daughters from a previous relationship, Heidi and Hopie, along with their manager Aaron Carnahan.
"[We will] gather around Joey’s bed and turn the tv-in-the-corner on and watch the Grammy Awards – Joey’s mama and daddy and her three sisters and their kids – all of us having a big-time together,” the 49-year-old wrote of his GRAMMY plans last week. “We’ll watch the presenters and performances and scan the cutaways to the audience for our daughters and our manager in the sea of people dressed-to-the-nines for the big night.”
While the couple lost best country duo performance to Little Big Town, Rory admitted last week that they were “blessed”to have been nominated. He said, “We will smile ateach other and wonder how in the world we got so blessed. How we’ve come so farwithout going anywhere at all.”
