As cancer slowly took over, she recorded books of her reading to her daughter, so when she passed on, her daughter would always have those books and her voice to listen to, dam got me crying over again.
Billy, Joey fought one hell of a fight against cancer. You really should read up on thier story because its truly a remarkable one to hear. They have so many good songs. Maybe one day I will request my favorite song by them. Thanks for the awesome reaction.
If I remember correctly. Joey came out with song before she was diagnosed with cancer. Rory made a documentary style movie about their life through the birth of their baby with downs syndrome and then the cancer journey. Rory is an amazing song writer and just as amazing story teller. I watched his blog he wrote through the journey of Joey's pregnancy, her home birth, later finding out the baby had downs, and then a short time later the cancer diagnosis. All of it is sad and yet beautiful. Joey had their carpenter friend build her casket for her. Just a simple and beautiful wooden casket. Joey was buried on their historical farm that had an old cemetary on it. She wanted to be buried there. The service was just beautiful. They had the service at their farm, and a horse and wagon carried her to the peaceful and charming cemetery on their property. Rory Feek has a you tube channel about his life there, raising their little daughter. He built a little schoolhouse on their property that is for little Indy and few other community children with special needs to attend there. There home is something to see. Like you have stepped back in time. Which Joey loved. Someone gave me the gospel CD Joey recorded while she was fighting cancer. She had always wanted to make one, but had never got around to it. So while she still had the strength to do it, she did. I cherish it. It is her favorite gospel hymns. When the medical part of the fight was done. She went back to her parents house to spend time with her family, and I believe that was where she stayed until the Lord took her home. Her daddy was saved during her last days with them. And Joey was so pleased. She said if her battle with cancer is what brought him to Jesus, she said she was glad to go through it and it was well worth it.
Joey + Rory have been one of my favorite groups since they came on the scene after making it on Duets. This song and video came out in 2012. Little did they know about 2 years later Joey would be diagnosed with cervical cancer. 2 years after that she would pass away. She died 3/4/2016, 4 years ago today. Rory made a documentary called To Joey, With Love. That documentary changed my life. It made me want to live to glorify Jesus even more. Rory said that he believes Jesus had them record this song and shoot this video to help him. Because Jesus knew what was coming and Jesus knows what we need for healing before we even do. 💕💕
Today makes it 4 years since her death. She sang about her love of Jesus as she went through fighting cancer. I was fighting cancer at the exact same time. Her music, her love of Jesus and her family gave me incredible comfort. Jesus healed us in two different ways. She went home to the Lord and I was healed. She was an amazing woman! She is missed. They have a beautiful little girl named Indy. She is a down syndrome child full of joy and love. Thank you Jesus for Joeys music!
I remember following them before their beautiful daughter Indiana was born. Then her diagnosis, treatment and passing. I still follow Rory and their little Indy today. It still breaks my heart. As a widow of nearly 10 years, this song still breaks my heart and only makes me miss my dear husband more, if that's possible.
They had some good songs and it’s so unfortunate she died so young of cervical cancer in 2016. To anyone who is or knows someone whose going through it my hearts and prayers to all of YOU!!!!
I was diagnosed with a fatal heart condition at 32 years old. They initially said I’d be gone within five years. As that 5 year mark got closer, I made the decision to plan some aspects of my funeral. I picked certain songs for specific people, and this is the one I chose for spouse of 18 years. He is my rock, my strength, and truly the love of my life who has kept me alive through that love. I can happily say I’m still beating odds and turned 40 the other day!
The story behind this song is kinda incredible. Both in the best and in the worst way imaginable. From what I recall, they did the video for this song about a year or so prior to Joey being diagnosed with Cancer. Rory described the song as being a bit of "make believe" or something like that and I wanna say that originally they didn't even want to make the music video. To personal or something. A couple years later she passed and during the hard times, he ended up talking about this song and it's creation and it's message and I believe that songs like this one helped him heal a bit. I could be wrong as it was a couple years ago when I read about it but regardless, glad to see someone finally react to this beautiful, heart wrenching song. God Bless Joey and Rory Feek. May Joey Rest in Peace.
My wife lost her long fight on February 5th, 2020. Only with God's comfort and His strength did I manage that first night when she was gone. This song so touched me. It is so sad that she developed cancer she could not beat and we lost yet another talent after she recorded this song.
Joey wrote this when she was dying of cancer, they at one point had to stop because her Rory fell apart. The wood fence you see him climb over surrounds the cemetery where she’s buried.
No, Joey didn't write this...Sandy Lawrence wrote this...she is the woman playing the piano while Joey is singing it. Joey & Rory did the video & Joey sang it, but the video is the play out of it.
This is a song that I still play quite often. I lost my husband 3 months ago from diabetic complications. I play this song to remind myself that he would want me to be strong. He & I both cried when we watched this video the first time, we loved Joey & Rory, as my husband was a pedal steel guitar player for a country band. I just never thought I would lose him at age 37. This song does give me comfort. It explains how I feel, yet reminds me to be strong. RIP Joey & thank you for recording this song. I miss you Benjamin
To Joey with love is a movie Rory made for her, of their life. You can't watch it without crying, it's beautiful and sad at the same time. RIP Joey. Country fans will always miss you. ❤
I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer 3 months ago no one knows when that time will come i just pray i go easy and not suffer to long. The pain is overwhelming but i get through it each day. Awesome reaction Billy God bless you.
RIP Joey she was taken way to young from something I know all about on a personal level losing my father from lung cancer 34 years ago when he was 42 and my older brother 5 years ago to bladder cancer he was only 47 so this song hits extremely close to home !! Thanks for reacting to it Billy it's emotional but therapeutic as well !!!
I became a widow when I was 22 years old, with a 3 year old daughter to raise alone. Watching your husband die from a terrible disease is horrific to say the least. I know how Rory felt.
Sorry for your loss. I lost the love of my life in a car accident, high school sweethearts. We had waited to get married, had plans for dinner and then finally officially asking instead her accident happened the night before ... life has never been the same and as rough as that was I can not imagine watching your love lose a fight like that ... I hope you have found some piece and that your daughter brings you much joy.
@@williamthomas7509 I'm so sorry for your loss. The song "The Dance" by Garth Brooks was released right after my husband died, my daughter has always been "My Dance". I'd never want to live through any of the pain I had but I'd never have had her without it. I was 5 months pregnant when we learned that he was going to die, my dreams all changed that moment. My daughter and I have a special bond that few people understand. Thank you for sharing your story with me, I hope you've found a new happiness.
That's a feeling that cannot be described until you live with it. I'm still living with it. I lost my husband Oct 22, 2019. We both loved Joey + Rory and this song is my life now. 😪
joy lang Thank you for reminding everyone of this truth. So many people here have misunderstood what happened and who wrote this song and why, and why Joey and Rory found it so important to record their friend’s song. Their friend is named Sandy Lawrence. And Sandy was caring for her own dying mother and wrote this song as a way to help her cope with the pain of losing her mother. Joey and Rory recorded Sandy’s song to help Sandy and to help anyone who was facing the loss of someone they love.
You NEVER EVER get over the pain. My soul-mate passed away November 6, 2018. Thanks for this video. I am very impressed with your heart. I'm broken....
I just got diagnosed with a tumor on my kidney on Father’s Day this year and this song brings me so much heartbreak and hope. If this takes me I can only hope that my boyfriend and his son won’t struggle to get past it. I’m trying to give his boy the best Christmas I can this year because I’m not sure if I’ll have many more. Thank you for reacting to this song. More people need to hear it. I think it would help a lot of people heal.
Watching cancer slowly take your loved one is one of the most heart crushing things to go through. Your relieved their suffering is finally over but it blows a hole in your heart so big you never fully recover. 😢😞
I can’t tell you that but what I can’t tell you shortly after this video was made and everything she died of cancer and now her husband is doing a great job with family raising the baby
they were so much in love joy had the voice of a angel,we all cried when she lost her battle to cancer,but thank God she left Rory with their daughter Indy.i watched video of Rory and Indy singing papa loved it
They made a documentary about her fight with cancer and having their daughter. It’s a tear jerker. Lots of tissues required. But a beautiful story. RIP Joey ❤️
It was so sad when she died. I followed their Journey. They were both so brave. She was a beautiful person. Shes buried on their farm. It's such a beautiful spot. RIP Joey.
As a mother and wife of (Only 2 years) I suffer seizure disorder and currently fighting my 3rd round of cancer. My husband is currently incarcerated 1000 miles away while I battle my health and raise our kids. This song is my life at the moment. .
They did a behind the scenes of the filming of this video, and they showed that when they were doing the closeups of Rory sitting in the rocker with the tears and sadness, that they had Joey sitting on the floor in front of him out of the shot, but they did that so that he could imagine the scenario of Joey passing away and not being there. The emotions were real and powerful
This has me in tears. I followed their story. She was such a beautiful person that died at 40 with a 2 yr old Down Syndrome baby. It was so sad!! She got diagnosed about 3 months after the baby was born.
Billy, you spoke about him having flashbacks... My sister has been battling cancer for 7 years now, and like this amazing lady, she is so strong. But, I have flashbacks all the time, not only is she my sister, she was and is my first best friend, my confidant, my everything. I dread the day her body finally gives in, because I know her spirit won't. I often watch this video to try prepare myself for when she is gone. 😢
We all were allowed into their lives.. We all prayed for Joeys recovery. God still took her. I rem the day.. When I found out I went outside and cried til I couldn't breathe. She left a beautiful baby girl, her husband and their farm which he continues to this day. Their daughter Indiana has downs but she is a TRUE ray of light. She has her mothers beautiful smile and her daddy's whole heart. PS: the dog is Ranger ❤
This beautiful woman was such a graceful fighter. She was so brave. She battled cancer twice....thought she was out of the woods but it came back. They had a baby girl just before this and named her Indiana...calling her Indy....she is past precious! Joey was buried there on their property in a little cemetery that Indy visits regularly. It's a very sad but beautiful story. Joey is an inspiration to us all. I still follow Rory and Indy....beautiful people.
their friend on the piano wrote this song after losing her mother to cancer... and this video was recorded at their farm south of Nashville... the area with the round fence is where joey martin feek was buried behind their farm after she died of cancer several years after this video was made at the farm........ quite a prophesy
Ugh billy. You've had me in tears for days now. My ex, who i had a great friendship with, passed almost 2 years ago. He was a beautiful man. Sweet. And i miss him terribly.
It is so very sad loosing her; but she had precious time with her family that many don't have. She took flight with strength and grace. They both have faith; and will be together again one day.
These two have a pretty amazing story as a couple. Both extremely talented and lived together on a small farm in an 1800s farmhouse and also owned/operated a little cafe in town.
Rory my last breathe here (joey's song) i had to stop the video because i got so emotional i fell into tears it is the best dedication song I have ever heard
It's a hard thing to go through losing a love one. I had lost my husband a year before Joey died but as a gospel singer said to Bill Gaither we think of them in our past when they pass away but actually they are in our future. We will see them again one day but until that time God will walk the journey with us guiding us through the up and down times loving us through it.
My grandma had stage 3 breast cancer and is now in remission, my cousin had multiple brain tumors, and my baby cousin he was born with cancer then it would go away then it would come back but he is in remission. It was really close to closing all 3 of them and I thank God every single day for my grandma and cousins still being here
I always cry like a baby when I hear this song because it hits home so so much. But I cry even more now that she passed away cause of cancer. It's a great song but dang it's super emotional.
This song is very close to my heart, I battled cervical cancer at the same time she battled hers, I only wish she could have beat hers too, she was my hero 😭😭😭💜💔
This song was a gift for Rory when Joey was battling cancer. she eventually passed on 4 years ago. For a happier song by them check out "Cheater, Cheater"
The very strange thing is that joey and Rory recorded this song and video before joey was diagnosed with cancer. It’s a very heart wrenching song written by Sandy lawrence for her Mam who passed .away and Sandy was a friend of joey and Rory Joey is Such a great loss.to this world . Also losing your Mam is a horrendous loss so I think Sandy knew that joey would sing it with passion and great feeling 🥰
The pain of loosing your spouse does not go away or get easier. I lost my husband of almost 21 years on 11/23/21 due to complications from COVID and the pain of his not being here is just as raw today as it was on that night when he passed. Everyday I wish he was still here with me and our 3 kids but he is never far from our hearts or our memories with him. This one got me in the feels because it was like it was explaining the pain that I went through and still do from when my husband passed. Just love your loved ones in the here and now and not down the road because that road is not a guarantee.
This song was originally written for a friend of hers who lost someone, but they set up the video to look like Rory lost Joey. Years later (3/4/2016, 4 years ago today) Joey lost her battle with Stage 4 cervical cancer leaving Rory to raise their 2 year old daughter Indy, who has Down's Syndrome, alone. There a ton of family & friends in that little town and he is not really, alone...but he misses the love of his life😭😇❤️ In Sept 2016, my husband of 36 years died unexpectedly & tragically. He was not home at the time, he was visiting his family out of state. His children & I never got to say Goodbye to him. Almost 5 years later..seasons have changed, I've gotten older, the world has continued to turn...yet, my heart is still as broken as the day I found out he wasn't ever coming home. I don't know if "I will ever be alright"...again.
Joey Feek died from thyroid cancer. She was diagnosed the same time as my aunt was with Bile Duct cancer. She and Rory continued to sing through the process. And wrote the soundtrack to my heartache. We lost my aunt shortly before Joey. It’s been a blessing to me. That this has come up this month; I lost that aunt on 27 March and another aunt on 1 March. This has been a hard month. This was helpful. Thank you.
Joey had such a beautiful soul. I love her voice. The love Joey and Rory shared is the kind of love people search a lifetime for and never find. I saw the documentary and cried. I wish she could have raised her beautiful daughter Indiana. RIH Joey. You will never be forgotten.
They were such a beautiful couple. I had the opportunity to introduce them on stage in south fl at the seafood festival when I worked for gator country
It’s sad because little did she know four years from then she would die from cancer. There’s a making of video about this song on RUclips. The fence he crawled over and was standing by is where she’s now buried. They show in the making of that video how they had her sit next to him on the floor in the rocking chair and he held her hand and think about her not being around and that’s when he’s crying in the video. So sad
Billy, they recorded this BEFORE Joey was diagnosed. Its tragic. Love you Billy. Check out their song "That's Important to Me." Then check out in OLD song... "Ode to Billy Joe" by Bobbie Gentry
Billy, You must read Rory's blog leading up to when Joey died. If only all couples treated each other the way those two did. They weren't perfect but wow can we all learn from it. Song imitates life. The song was written by Joey & Rory's friend & they loved it so much they wanted to record it. It was before Joey knew she had cancer. And as we all know it turns out that the song became real life to them.
Her friend wrote this song when she was losing her mom to cancer. She asked Joey and rory to sing and do the video for her. Sadly it became Joey and rorys life story. Joey passed from cancer a few years later
It's hard to watch your loved one pass away from such a horrible disease like cancer these two had an undeniable love for each other you can hear it when they R.i.p Joey
RIP Joey...Joey died at home, from cancer, with Rory at her side
A remarkable talent gone to soon
I believe she died 4 yrs ago today
Amy McPate she did. 😓
Fell in love with Joey on can I duet on CMT
She’s buried on their farm.
As cancer slowly took over, she recorded books of her reading to her daughter, so when she passed on, her daughter would always have those books and her voice to listen to, dam got me crying over again.
Fuuuck you lol that made me sob out loud.
Why are you trying to continue to make us all ugly cry?
She passed 4 years ago today...... of cancer she fought for 2 years after her daughter indiana was born.....
Billy, Joey fought one hell of a fight against cancer. You really should read up on thier story because its truly a remarkable one to hear. They have so many good songs. Maybe one day I will request my favorite song by them. Thanks for the awesome reaction.
You are really trying to get him to another level of emotional. No way he will have a dry eye if he does that.
So true...I followed their story closely and it completely broke my heart when she passed 💔 their love was inspirational
She is buried out on their farm. She fought so hard to stay with her family but was called home
If I remember correctly. Joey came out with song before she was diagnosed with cancer. Rory made a documentary style movie about their life through the birth of their baby with downs syndrome and then the cancer journey. Rory is an amazing song writer and just as amazing story teller. I watched his blog he wrote through the journey of Joey's pregnancy, her home birth, later finding out the baby had downs, and then a short time later the cancer diagnosis. All of it is sad and yet beautiful. Joey had their carpenter friend build her casket for her. Just a simple and beautiful wooden casket. Joey was buried on their historical farm that had an old cemetary on it. She wanted to be buried there. The service was just beautiful. They had the service at their farm, and a horse and wagon carried her to the peaceful and charming cemetery on their property. Rory Feek has a you tube channel about his life there, raising their little daughter. He built a little schoolhouse on their property that is for little Indy and few other community children with special needs to attend there. There home is something to see. Like you have stepped back in time. Which Joey loved. Someone gave me the gospel CD Joey recorded while she was fighting cancer. She had always wanted to make one, but had never got around to it. So while she still had the strength to do it, she did. I cherish it. It is her favorite gospel hymns. When the medical part of the fight was done. She went back to her parents house to spend time with her family, and I believe that was where she stayed until the Lord took her home. Her daddy was saved during her last days with them. And Joey was so pleased. She said if her battle with cancer is what brought him to Jesus, she said she was glad to go through it and it was well worth it.
Joey + Rory have been one of my favorite groups since they came on the scene after making it on Duets.
This song and video came out in 2012. Little did they know about 2 years later Joey would be diagnosed with cervical cancer. 2 years after that she would pass away. She died 3/4/2016, 4 years ago today.
Rory made a documentary called To Joey, With Love. That documentary changed my life. It made me want to live to glorify Jesus even more. Rory said that he believes Jesus had them record this song and shoot this video to help him. Because Jesus knew what was coming and Jesus knows what we need for healing before we even do.
💕💕
Today makes it 4 years since her death. She sang about her love of Jesus as she went through fighting cancer. I was fighting cancer at the exact same time. Her music, her love of Jesus and her family gave me incredible comfort. Jesus healed us in two different ways. She went home to the Lord and I was healed. She was an amazing woman! She is missed. They have a beautiful little girl named Indy. She is a down syndrome child full of joy and love. Thank you Jesus for Joeys music!
I remember following them before their beautiful daughter Indiana was born. Then her diagnosis, treatment and passing. I still follow Rory and their little Indy today. It still breaks my heart. As a widow of nearly 10 years, this song still breaks my heart and only makes me miss my dear husband more, if that's possible.
For a happier song by them, check out their biggest hit called "Cheater, Cheater".
Yup
I second this
Yes ! I love that song 😄 It was my ringtone at one time 😉
I agree that was happier times for them.
Love cheater cheater! My granddaughters, 8 and 11, sing it.
You literally said you had just reacted to one of her songs before this one. Her name was Joey Feek! Amazing no one else caught that.
I did..I knew exactly who her and hubby are..love their story
Yeah I caught that lol
I was driving first time I heard this song. Had to pull over because the tears were falling like rain.
Billy: I hope this isn't about...
Me: It is. Sorry.
that's the way i was. i just hung my head and shook it cause it is what it is.
Yep...I said that too.
Me too
They had some good songs and it’s so unfortunate she died so young of cervical cancer in 2016. To anyone who is or knows someone whose going through it my hearts and prayers to all of YOU!!!!
She was such an amazing singer, and such a beautiful lady! RIP Joey!!!
RIP Joey so beautiful and loved so much... she passed from cancer
Joey actually didn't write this. The lady playing the piano wrote it about her mother.
I was diagnosed with a fatal heart condition at 32 years old. They initially said I’d be gone within five years. As that 5 year mark got closer, I made the decision to plan some aspects of my funeral. I picked certain songs for specific people, and this is the one I chose for spouse of 18 years. He is my rock, my strength, and truly the love of my life who has kept me alive through that love. I can happily say I’m still beating odds and turned 40 the other day!
She's letting him know that he's gonna be ok when she goes home to heaven after the cancer takes her!!! They had a love that was so beautiful to see!!
Yes. I don't think I'll ever witness that kind of love again. It was beautiful then heartbreakingly beautiful. ❤💔❤
This always breaks my heart. Those poor lovely people and his pain after her passing, cant even imagine.
One of my favorite songs. And I cry every time I hear it.
The story behind this song is kinda incredible. Both in the best and in the worst way imaginable. From what I recall, they did the video for this song about a year or so prior to Joey being diagnosed with Cancer.

God Bless Joey and Rory Feek. May Joey Rest in Peace.
My wife lost her long fight on February 5th, 2020. Only with God's comfort and His strength did I manage that first night when she was gone. This song so touched me. It is so sad that she developed cancer she could not beat and we lost yet another talent after she recorded this song.
She was definitely one in a million with that voice, and her faith in God was apparent every time she spoke and preformed. RIP Joey

Lost my sister 48 to cancer. Hurts every day.
I became a widow when I was 22 years old, with a 3 year old daughter to raise alone. Watching your husband die from a terrible disease is horrific to say the least. I know how Rory felt.
I'm so sorry for your terrible loss. 🙏
I can't imagine what you're going through. May God comfort you and heal you and bless you and you little girl forever.

I cried so hard the day she died. I never met her but she touched me so much.
I knew I shouldn't have watched this one! 😥I am sobbing! It's not that it gets easier you just learn to live with it eventually cause you have to!
That's a feeling that cannot be described until you live with it. I'm still living with it. I lost my husband Oct 22, 2019. We both loved Joey + Rory and this song is my life now. 😪

They made a documentary about her fight with cancer and having their daughter. It’s a tear jerker. Lots of tissues required. But a beautiful story. RIP Joey ❤️
It on youtube?
I’ve seen it.. worth watching ❤️
It was so sad when she died. I followed their Journey. They were both so brave. She was a beautiful person. Shes buried on their farm. It's such a beautiful spot. RIP Joey.

Joey had the voice if an angel. RIP
She died 😢 its true story about her and Rory
This has me in tears. I followed their story. She was such a beautiful person that died at 40 with a 2 yr old Down Syndrome baby. It was so sad!! She got diagnosed about 3 months after the baby was born.
Billy, you spoke about him having flashbacks... My sister has been battling cancer for 7 years now, and like this amazing lady, she is so strong. But, I have flashbacks all the time, not only is she my sister, she was and is my first best friend, my confidant, my everything. I dread the day her body finally gives in, because I know her spirit won't. I often watch this video to try prepare myself for when she is gone. 😢
We all were allowed into their lives.. We all prayed for Joeys recovery. God still took her. I rem the day.. When I found out I went outside and cried til I couldn't breathe. She left a beautiful baby girl, her husband and their farm which he continues to this day. Their daughter Indiana has downs but she is a TRUE ray of light. She has her mothers beautiful smile and her daddy's whole heart. PS: the dog is Ranger ❤
Love watching ur reactions
This beautiful woman was such a graceful fighter. She was so brave. She battled cancer twice....thought she was out of the woods but it came back. They had a baby girl just before this and named her Indiana...calling her Indy....she is past precious! Joey was buried there on their property in a little cemetery that Indy visits regularly. It's a very sad but beautiful story. Joey is an inspiration to us all. I still follow Rory and Indy....beautiful people.
their friend on the piano wrote this song after losing her mother to cancer... and this video was recorded at their farm south of Nashville... the area with the round fence is where joey martin feek was buried behind their farm after she died of cancer several years after this video was made at the farm........ quite a prophesy
Ugh billy. You've had me in tears for days now. My ex, who i had a great friendship with, passed almost 2 years ago. He was a beautiful man. Sweet. And i miss him terribly.
A beautiful person inside and out!!
It is so very sad loosing her; but she had precious time with her family that many don't have. She took flight with strength and grace. They both have faith; and will be together again one day.
RIP Joey...
Your voice is one for the heavens....
These two have a pretty amazing story as a couple. Both extremely talented and lived together on a small farm in an 1800s farmhouse and also owned/operated a little cafe in town.
Rory my last breathe here (joey's song) i had to stop the video because i got so emotional i fell into tears it is the best dedication song I have ever heard
This was her song to him and their kids before the cancer took her this song always gets me may she rest in peace❤️
A beautiful voice and song i ben there 2 times in my life first cancer in 2000 than heart failure in 2017 it's hard to understand but true to the core
It's a hard thing to go through losing a love one. I had lost my husband a year before Joey died but as a gospel singer said to Bill Gaither we think of them in our past when they pass away but actually they are in our future. We will see them again one day but until that time God will walk the journey with us guiding us through the up and down times loving us through it.
I can't help but to cry when I hear this song.
My grandma had stage 3 breast cancer and is now in remission, my cousin had multiple brain tumors, and my baby cousin he was born with cancer then it would go away then it would come back but he is in remission. It was really close to closing all 3 of them and I thank God every single day for my grandma and cousins still being here
I always cry like a baby when I hear this song because it hits home so so much. But I cry even more now that she passed away cause of cancer. It's a great song but dang it's super emotional.
This song is very close to my heart, I battled cervical cancer at the same time she battled hers, I only wish she could have beat hers too, she was my hero 😭😭😭💜💔
Now this beautiful Angel now sings in Heaven
That was Joey in the video. The man is her husband Rory. She passed away from cervical cancer. This video was made b4 her diagnosis. Rip Joey😢😢
This song was a gift for Rory when Joey was battling cancer. she eventually passed on 4 years ago. For a happier song by them check out "Cheater, Cheater"
She passed away Billy.... for real.... 💔
She battled cancer, they made a documentary of her final days…such a beautiful tragedy 😭 ❤️
r.i.p beautiful.. i would like this song played at my funeral.. i cant sing this song without crying,
RIP JOEY.....#CANCERSUCKS
My wife had me listen to this song. She died and I miss her.😢❤ My wife also had a long term illness. I am still not over it.
Rest in peace joey you were a angel on earth,you will always be sadly missed 🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️.
My wife died 1/7/2024 after a long illness. Her folks picked this as one of the songs they wanted to play at her funeral. It reminds me of her...
Oh, I loved Joey when she was around. Miss her and Rory's music.
She was an amazing beautiful person, rest Joey Feek you were amazing and are truly missed.
This song always makes me cry because of how real the lyrics of this song became for them. 😢💔
Everytime I hear this song all I can think is the love and Strength she must have had to sing this to him knowing she was dying.
The most beautiful song.
Thank you I've been waiting for this reaction RIP Joey
The very strange thing is that joey and Rory recorded this song and video before joey was diagnosed with cancer.
It’s a very heart wrenching song written by Sandy lawrence for her Mam who passed .away and Sandy was a friend of joey and Rory
Joey is Such a great loss.to this world .
Also losing your Mam is a horrendous loss so I think Sandy knew that joey would sing it with passion and great feeling 🥰
RIP Joey (Josephine) Feek. Cancer sucks!!! I've lost most of my family to this disease.
The pain of loosing your spouse does not go away or get easier. I lost my husband of almost 21 years on 11/23/21 due to complications from COVID and the pain of his not being here is just as raw today as it was on that night when he passed. Everyday I wish he was still here with me and our 3 kids but he is never far from our hearts or our memories with him. This one got me in the feels because it was like it was explaining the pain that I went through and still do from when my husband passed. Just love your loved ones in the here and now and not down the road because that road is not a guarantee.
She was dying as they recorded this song.
I loved her voice, and her heart.
I miss her.
This song was originally written for a friend of hers who lost someone, but they set up the video to look like Rory lost Joey. Years later (3/4/2016, 4 years ago today) Joey lost her battle with Stage 4 cervical cancer leaving Rory to raise their 2 year old daughter Indy, who has Down's Syndrome, alone. There a ton of family & friends in that little town and he is not really, alone...but he misses the love of his life😭😇❤️
In Sept 2016, my husband of 36 years died unexpectedly & tragically. He was not home at the time, he was visiting his family out of state. His children & I never got to say Goodbye to him.
Almost 5 years later..seasons have changed, I've gotten older, the world has continued to turn...yet, my heart is still as broken as the day I found out he wasn't ever coming home. I don't know if "I will ever be alright"...again.
Things happen for a reason, without knowing it you posted this song today, the fourth anniversary of her passing. RIP Joey.
Joey Feek died from thyroid cancer. She was diagnosed the same time as my aunt was with Bile Duct cancer. She and Rory continued to sing through the process. And wrote the soundtrack to my heartache. We lost my aunt shortly before Joey. It’s been a blessing to me. That this has come up this month; I lost that aunt on 27 March and another aunt on 1 March. This has been a hard month. This was helpful. Thank you.
Joey died of cervical cancer
RIP Joey Feek we love you and we miss you so much country music is not the same without you
She passed away from cervical cancer and this song she sang for her husband. They were a classic country husband and wife duo.
Joey had such a beautiful soul. I love her voice. The love Joey and Rory shared is the kind of love people search a lifetime for and never find. I saw the documentary and cried. I wish she could have raised her beautiful daughter Indiana. RIH Joey. You will never be forgotten.
Joey wrote that after finding out she had cancer. Totally breaks my heart in billons of pieces.
Joey didn't write this
Their neighbor and good friend wrote this
The lady playing the piano wrote it when her mother was dying of cancer. Joey hadn't been diagnosed yet.
They did this before she was diagnosed which somehow makes it even sadder to me.
They were such a beautiful couple. I had the opportunity to introduce them on stage in south fl at the seafood festival when I worked for gator country
She was the most loving, gentle beautiful soul I’ve ever seen. Fly high Joey we miss you!
Her voice is like an angel R.I.P..
It’s sad because little did she know four years from then she would die from cancer. There’s a making of video about this song on RUclips. The fence he crawled over and was standing by is where she’s now buried. They show in the making of that video how they had her sit next to him on the floor in the rocking chair and he held her hand and think about her not being around and that’s when he’s crying in the video. So sad
Billy, they recorded this BEFORE Joey was diagnosed. Its tragic. Love you Billy. Check out their song "That's Important to Me."
Then check out in OLD song...
"Ode to Billy Joe" by Bobbie Gentry
Billy, You must read Rory's blog leading up to when Joey died. If only all couples treated each other the way those two did. They weren't perfect but wow can we all learn from it. Song imitates life. The song was written by Joey & Rory's friend & they loved it so much they wanted to record it. It was before Joey knew she had cancer. And as we all know it turns out that the song became real life to them.
Her friend wrote this song when she was losing her mom to cancer. She asked Joey and rory to sing and do the video for her. Sadly it became Joey and rorys life story. Joey passed from cancer a few years later
It's hard to watch your loved one pass away from such a horrible disease like cancer these two had an undeniable love for each other you can hear it when they R.i.p Joey
