Introduction
Yesterday marked a poignant day for Rory Feek – his 15th wedding anniversary with his beloved late wife, Joey. Three months after Joey’s courageous battle with cancer came to an end, Rory took to his blog to share a deeply moving tribute, his first since her passing.
In his heartfelt post, the country singer humbly admitted that grand gestures weren’t his forte. Yet, this year, he yearned to give Joey the ultimate gift: to live on, even in her physical absence.
Rory revealed his extraordinary endeavor: transforming the hundreds of hours of intimate footage he captured over the last two and a half years with Joey into a full-length documentary titled “To Joey, With Love.” Reflecting on their journey, Rory shared, “God gave us a great story. He could have ended it differently… it would have been a miracle.”
In a deeply personal moment, Rory recounted playing the trailer of the documentary for Joey at her gravesite on the very morning of their anniversary. He eloquently expressed his hopes for this film, stating, “My wife will get the chance to live again on a movie screen. Her heart will start beating, and her story will come to life once more. And it will be my gift to her, and to our girls, and to our friends and family, and all who loved her. She will not stop living.”
Through this powerful act of love, Rory is ensuring that Joey’s spirit and story continue to inspire and touch hearts. “To Joey, With Love” promises to be a moving testament to their enduring bond.
