    Oh my heart. This video is so special when Rory and Russ went to the house where Joey lived her last days I relived every moment with them. And at the end Rory playing the piano and singing him and Joey's special song, just broke my heart I cried too Rory. She was one special lady that will remain in the hearts of all that loved her. She will forever be missed and never forgotten. All my love to your family and little Indy who is so precious and such a big girl for her Papa.❤❤❤❤❤

    I'm ok😪. I remember all the prayers I said for her. I had broke my back in 4 places was flat on my back and in lots of pain. I prayed for Joey and followed her story the whole time. But following her story it changed me instead. And as I continue to follow This Life I Live, I continue to find purpose in my own life. I praise God for that! I miss her so much and I never met her. But the idea of being able to meet her one day at God's banquet table thrills me. We are all God's children, He is waiting on.

    To see what Bill & Gloria Gaither did for you all, is very heart warming as well.
    To have Indiana able to sp thend time with her mom's family is good, especially as she is so comfortable with them. A lot of children her age would not be able to do so for a few days, let aslone two weeks. Indiana is so blessed to have you all & be so comfortable with all of you.

    This visit to Indiana had to be a tough one. I’m sure there was many emotional times going through the house knowing that was the last time u were with ur true soul mate Joey. She was beautiful had a beautiful voice n even for all of us , we too miss her dearly. I’m so happy u did this n I’m sure it was hard letting Indy stay at grandma’s for two wks. Curious how did she do without Popa? I really enjoy ur videos of “This life I live”. I admire u so much n love u as a person a father a song writer a writer of books for children. I have to say for anyone who comes to know u should feel very honored. Thank u Rory for giving us a part of ur life, with tears of joy n tears of sadness but every bit of it is worth knowing u. May God continue to show u the way with many blessings. ♥️♥️😊🤟🏻

    A true love you never get over. You miss them every day you are alive. You hurt so much that no one will ever know or feel. You are still hurting and missing Joey it sometimes is too much.
    She is watching down from above over you and Indiana. She is keeping you both safe.
    The hurt never goes away,you just learn to live day by day.
    May God bless you and give you the strength to keep going.
    One day you both will be together again
    Till then, God had you here for a reason.
    May he watch over you and your family and keep y’all safe and hold y’all in his hands. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Watching you going home with precious Indy melted my heart. Indy's tender kiss to the dog. Oh my, she's one special young lady . Something in my heart became heavy, so full of beauty and pain...bittersweet. To see old footage of Joey was a delight...I see so much of her in Indy. What I always see is Joey being right alongside you. She's never ever far from you.
    Rory, the love that you give, the caring, kindness and humility.... such a special man is so rare. God is surely sustaining you and keeping you.
    What kept me from a broken heart and always does, is knowing of our resurrected Lord and the promise that He made to us of everlasting life. What a sweet reunion it will be
    Russ, you are a blessing. So faithful a friend and a good man. The smiles and the side splitting laughter you gave and give and the support is a gift from God. May God bless you always.
    Indy, will have so much fun with her Grandma. Watching Joey's mom rocking Indy must have been one special moment as if she were rocking Joey. I'm glad you played a bit of Have I Told You Lately. It couldn't have been easy visiting but in a way it will comfort you. The gift you gave her by bringing her home was so meaningful and so right.
    Rory, thank you for sharing your story with us. You are a dear man and all you give to so many and the faith that you have is something special. May God continue to be with you and bless you.
    ❤️🙏🏻

    Each week I look forward Tuesdays release of "This Life I Live." This week's video was a spoon full of salt with pure honey. The saddness of Joeys finial days but the pure sweetness of family and a true friend. Russell is a hoot in thoses videos.
    Your videos shows the beauty from the ashes, the Lord's love, grace and beauty in the love of you and your family and community. And the amazing way you are raising Indiana and the precious girl that she is. Also enjoy seeing the loving relationships you have with Heidi and Hopie. The love and committment you have for one another.
    I have a deep respect for Joey, Indiana and you. The many of the beautiful characters of Christ Jesus you all so display. Especially the humility and gentleness that displays you are men and women of great strength.
    This so is so touching and delighful to watch each week. Keeping life simple and pure fond memories of what it was like growing up many years ago.
    Thank you for these videos. They truley touch many people's bringing sweet smiles to their faces and warmth to their heart and soul.

    Russel is a real friend. He is very loyal to you. It is very touching to see the intimacy in Joey's family, especially when Joey's mother lulled Indy, so tenderly. You are the lucky one who had Joey as your wife. Moreover, you also have her family who love you and Indy so much. The memory of Joey still being there. What a beautiful place to live and share the love. God bless you all

    This beautiful little girl takes my heart. I can't stop crying and then Russell makes me laugh. I saw you for the first time on CBS just after Joey had passed and I cried then too seeing what a God fearing and loving father you are.

    So far I like this one the best! You are blessed to have a friend in Russell! As a grandma during this family social distancing, seeing Indy with her grandma pulled on my heartstrings and helped me to have a thankful cry. My hubby was born and raised north of Indianpolis in Mishawaka. His mom was born and raised in the hollow in Obion, TN. You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. She was the sweetest! My dad lived in Crossville, TN and is buried there. I haven't been back since. We like the Pacific Northwest and get back to see family in IN, but not as often as we'd like. Have a blessed day!
