The 5 Words Country Star Rory Feek Just Revealed About His Dying Wife Joey Will Break Your Heart
The story of country stars Joey and Rory Feek has had incredible richness — from the birth of their daughter, Indiana, to their recent Grammy nomination. And now, as their time together nears its close, their rich faith is seeing them through.
Joey, 40, is in hospice care for terminal cancer.
“Here I sit beside my dying wife,” Rory, 49, wrote in a Saturday post on This Life I Live. “I don’t say those words lightly. As a matter-of-fact, I haven’t said them at all. But my beautiful bride has said them to me in these couple of days.”
“Yesterday with tears in her eyes and mine, Joey held my hand and told me that she has been having serious talks with Jesus,” he said. “She said she told him that if He’s ready to take her … she’s ready to come home.”
The pair’s 2012 song, “When I’m Gone,” is with Rory in these troubled days. The song, a dying farewell from the ones to be left behind, resonates with Rory.
“Our ‘make-believe’ song and video seems to be coming true,” he wrote. “Some call it ‘life imitating art’. I don’t. I call it God.
“He knew I would need her to tell me goodbye … not just once, but a thousand times,” Rory wrote. “And I’d need to know that no matter how much time passes, that she loves me still. And He made it so that if I needed to be reminded of her beautiful life and heart and voice … she would only be a ‘click’ away.”
“Am I angry at the irony of the song? No. How could I be? How many men who are losing the woman they love get a gift like that? None that I know of,” he wrote.
