Randy Travis spoke for the first time since his stroke at the 2016 Induction ceremony at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville . This took a lot of courage. God bless him! We love him and pray for him everyday. Randy has more courage than most! I adored Randy Always! I was in his fan club, had his albums (yes,dates me!), I even met him in NYC after a Letterman appearance and he could not have been nicer! I was to see him in Philly in 1991 but the night before my 19 year old cousin Doug was killed. April 8, 1991. I couldn't listen to his music for a long time. Randy, keep fighting! And keep going! You are so courageous! My brother is deaf and he talks funny to many. Sometimes people laugh and it hurts. My mom had a stroke a few years ago, and people laughed when she talked. It took a lot for me not to knock them out. But she carried on and talks fine today! But you're more courageous than them! Keep TCBing! We love you and are praying for you!
