Feek acknowledged that the last few years have been "very challenging"

The singer also teased a "Christmas miracle"

Rory Feek is sharing details of his family’s holiday celebrations in the midst of what he described as a “challenging” stretch.

The country singer, 60, shared a blog post on Dec. 28 titled “A White Christmas,” which chronicled his seasonal activities with wife Rebecca and daughter Indiana, 11.

Feek — who is in the midst of an ongoing dispute with his two older daughters Heidi and Hopie over Indiana’s care — said that despite the difficulties, he was grateful to those who had shown “love and kindness” in recent months.

“Even though the last year or two have been very challenging for us, we’ve felt surrounded with more love and true friendship than we’ve ever had before, and for that, and so much more, we are truly grateful,” he wrote.

The musician, who rose to fame as part of the Grammy-winning country duo Joey+Rory with late wife Joey Feek, also teased something big, saying his family had had a Christmas that they “won’t forget anytime soon.”

“One of the main reasons was because of an early Christmas gift we received. If there was a Santa, he came to our farm early this year – on the 23th to be exact — and our family received the gift that we had all hoped for, but didn’t dare to imagine,” he wrote. “A Christmas miracle, if ever there was one.”

Feek wrote that while he’d “love to share more,” he is saving the story of their surprise “for another time.”

It remains unclear as to which challenges Feek was referring in his blog post, though it was an eventful year for the musician.

In February, his daughter Hopie, 37, announced that her biological father is actually a man she identified as BC — not the singer, who raised her and her sister Heidi, 39, after splitting from their mother, his ex-wife (Hopie and Heidi are also currently in legal limbo with their father over Indiana, whom they have not been able to see in over a year).

Then in September, he marked what would have been Joey’s 50th birthday by visiting her grave with their daughter. Joey died of cancer in 2016 at age 40, and Feek married Indiana’s teacher Rebecca in July 2024.

Hopie’s revelation that Feek was not her biological father sparked conflict in the pair’s relationship. Though Feek wrote in a blog post that he loves Hopie as his daughter and “always will,” she expressed frustration with his response, as he shared personal details of their family’s history.

“My relationship with my dad is broken. Not because of this new revelation, but because he refuses to go to family therapy,” she later told PEOPLE. “Him taking the two most vulnerable conversations of my life (coming out to him, and telling him we’re not biologically related) and publishing them to the world, is something we need a professional to help us navigate.”

Heidi and Hopie have not seen Indiana since June 2024, as their father has not let her visit her sisters due, he says, to their differing worldviews. In a blog post that August, Feek wrote that Indiana "absolutely" misses his older girls, and asks about them “all the time and would love to see them.”

Heidi and Hopie took legal action against their father over the situation with Indiana in the fall of 2024, though details of the filing remain confidential, as Indiana is a minor. Legal proceedings remain ongoing.
