Right now my wife is i a nursing home with MS and dementia. I haven't been able to see her since late March. I don't know what I will do if she goes first. This is a women who took in and loved a broken and angry Vietnam veteran and turned him into a devoted, loving husband and father. I just hope I go first as I am 8;years older than her and at 75 cannot imagine living without her.
My husband said this to He is a 100% disabled Vietnam vet to with Parkinson's & dementia Thanks for serving our country and God bless you & your wife Sending prayers your way
I am dying with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I have been married to a beautiful man for 43 years. Thank you my love for your love. Most of all thank you Jesus for your precious and priceless gift of salvation. For thriugh him the veil tore between God and man to be able to have everlasting life with himm. It was love that kept him on the cross until the work was finished. He rose again in 3 days conquering sin and death. If anyone reading this does not know Christ as your saviour, please put your faith in him and the precious gift he gave to mankind. I love you Jesus
Carla my sister, God is with you. I want you to do something that doctors don't seem to know about. It is put on my heart to share with you.. I want you to switch to a keto diet, Keep carbs low to about 10 to 20 every 24 hrs. Fresh meats with all their natural fat that is in and on the edges. No processed meats. No snacking whatsoever. I want you to change your intake of meals to two per 24 hrs. You will be eating your two meals in a 6 hr window. You will be eating two meals in six hrs and fasting 18 hrs each day, Like at 10a.m. & 4pm eat. no later then 4pm. Each week pick one 24 hr window to do distilled water fasting. Actually that is good but two days a week for first two weeks. Third week you are to do distilled water fasting for 72 hrs every week along with the 18/6 eating schedule.. Cut all sugars out. You can have 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 🫐 3 times in every ten days. No other added sugars. No processed foods. You need to do this to make your body go into what is called AUTOPHAGY. AUTOPHAGY IS REGENERATION OF BAD & SICK CELLS.. Let's do this together.. I have been eating this way for 4 yrs now, but much more strict on fasting my self.. Fasting is for AUTOPHAGY and AUTOPHAGY is cell REGENERATION.. PLEASE HELP YOUR SELF.. I used to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart symptoms, THEY ARE ALL GONE NOW for 4 yrs now.. From your brother in Christ , brother Harvey... Remember to eat the real whole fresh foods, Not processed, No fast foods, NO OILS OF any kind. A little real stick butter. Nuts are out for now because of the OILS and the health issues.. Main thing to focus on is one meal at a time.. Stay away from all pork.. PIGS are sent to market all the time with basket ball size cancers hanging on the outside of their bodies before they get cut up. I used to be in the factories where I have seen these things. Trust me. Stick with beef roasts & ground beef roasts, Lamb ground up. Fresh backyard chickens or the freshest you can find. No rotisserie chickens.. By all means Google Dr Ken Berry M.D. on UA-cam. There are a bunch of good doctors like Dr.Berry out on UA-cam... Read a lot of comments on UA-cam channels to see what others are saying... Brother Harvey. Most of all , Keep praying and pouring yourself out to God.. Be praying for others. The more you talk and pray and think conversations to God, the more he will speak to you.,, through your heart, dreams, visions.. I hope I have encouraged you to not giving up, and we need to take control of our lives. The doctors can't control what we eat or not eat.. we have to do that... Oh ya, my brain fog all gone too.. fasting is so healthy.. Jesus said to his disciples these words, WHEN YOU FAST,, so we can see with these words from Jesus, Jesus knew it is ok to fast and he expected the disciples to fast and that it is healthy...😊😊😊 Otherwise he would not have used the words,, (WHEN YOU FAST DO THIS ). Love you sister, I will be praying for your recovery... No fruit juices either, loaded with sugars.. No artificial any thing sister..😊😊😊😊✝️🇺🇸🤠🪕🪕🪕
Maybe they would have been more sympathetic had they known this song would become true life for Joey and Rory. Who really knows. Such a beautiful, haunting, sad song. Brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely person she was!
@@ruthiemay4799, isn't that the eerie and amazing thing?? I heard Rory say he didn't want to do the video that way because it was too upsetting to imagine life without Joey. Then he said he was glad he was talked into it because now it's a comfort to him.
My wife played this for me the day after we found out she only had a month left. She would’ve been 62 today, she’s been gone more than 7 years and I’m still not fine. Miss her
This may not help but, "The cost of love is grief", it sounds like your love was great, given your grief is great. You will be reunited with your love again. Believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder. A little girl in my church who had lost her mom a few weeks ago asked me, will the hole in her heart get smaller with time, I lost my wife 4 years ago so like you I had some experience of hearts with holes. I told her, the hole will never get any smaller, but you will get bigger. As for us sir, we have grown as big as we are going to get. We await the call to come home, until then, keep strong Jim, and I will see you on the other side.

I never thought I would be jealous of my sister dying before me because I loved her so much I couldn't stand to see her go. But now with things the way they are I'm so happy for her because she is at peace . I know this is months after your mom passed away but so sorry for your loss, it is so hard.
I just lost my wife this passed Wednesday, after a 7 month battle with Cancer. I found this song that night while listening to one of my wife's favorite songs. I truly believe that my wife sent me this song to help me get through it. thank you so much
Oh I am so sorry. I can’t imagine your pain. I am so sorry and hope the memories of her somehow make you smile. I have great memories of my daughter who passed in 2003 at 16. Stay strong, you can still cry, you’ll be ok. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so very sorry about losing your loving wife. I been with my husband since I was 19.I am 62 now an he's 68.I cannot image.I am so scared I'll face this one day.It hurts to think about it.I seen my mother grieve when my father passed @61.She passed 2 years later @60..I can't imagine what your going through.My heart goes out to you.I hope you are staying strong an enjoy your memories with her.I know shed want you to be happy.
Just so everyone knows the story behind the song, she did not sing this song from a first-person perspective. She recorded it in 2012, before she was diagnosed with cancer. The song was written by a friend of hers, Sandy Lawrence, whose mother was dying of cancer. The song touched Joey, and she recorded it. Although it wasn't originally recorded as a first-person story, it's poignant to view it that way after the fact. One of the most touching songs I have ever heard.
+mike coy she was diagnosed with cervical cancer when her daughter Indy was just a few months old, had treatment, was in remission then it returned a less than a year later. she had treatment again but it didn't work and was placed on hospice care that fall, in early november I believe. she lived to see her daughter's 2nd birthday and on until passing away on March 4th. she lived for 2 YEARS after being diagnosed NOT just over six months as you stated.
960 days ago my wife left for Heaven. God tapped her on the shoulder and guided her through His gates to a seat around His throne. This song, it's meaning, it's hurt, and it's promise has been on my playlist for all of these days. The pain is endless and the hole in my soul is immense. I pray for all of you who've lost someone close and are struggling with the every day. You're not alone.
I'm so very sorry and I know you've considered every hopefilled thought inside your sad sad tears! One day very soon we will all look back & understand with a Love we never could have imagined with the deepest purity of love. I Pray God Brings You A Tender Dream Of Hopefulness, beyond anything you've ever experienced in this world that ONLY Jesus can Offer. Your tears bring tears to my eyes & many as well. GBY ....MARANATHA & SHALOM
2,564 days since my husband passed. Life moves forward but you never ever move on. My life is happy but different and I'm just grateful for the time we had and the children we will forever share! My heart is broken and will never heal, and I'm ok with that. He is ever present in my soul.
I always loved Joey+Rory and I always found this song very touching. It made me cry to watch it when the song eventually became Joey's own story. Now I just watched the video again, and I am crying even more, because now it is my wife's song, too. She just passed away suddenly last Thursday. Yes, you may ask "why are you watching such a sad video at a time like this?" Good question. Well, as Joey is singing I can picture my wife singing it to me. And she would say the same sorts of things. And you know what? Even though I am devastated right now, I am also at peace, and words like Joey sings here ("you'll be OK, on that first day..." and "...we'll both be fine...") bring me comfort. My wife and I are both devout Christians, like Joey and Rory, so I know that she is in the arms of Jesus right now, and someday I will join her there.
Bob, I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel your pain, I really do. I lost my fiance and love of my life last Wednesday. The day before your wife. Please accept my condolences and God give you the strength in your days ahead. I know how difficult they are.
@@BradM336 Aw, my sincere condolences to you, too. As for strength, it has been there for me all along since my wife's passing. It has bewlidered me, since I think I should be a mess right now. So I have been trying to figure out why I am taking this in stride fairly easily. Well, I got something in the mail lthe other day from The Navigators, a Christian organization. Their mailings usually include a little "gift." This one included a greeting card, which I normally would have just looked at and then tossed into the garbage. But this one said on the front "The joy of the Lord is my strength", from Nehemiah 8:10. A-ha, there is my answer to why I am feeling so strong right now. I took the card and hung it on the wall at the entrance to my kitchen so I will see it frequently as a reminder to where my strength is coming from.
I am so sorry for your loss. The words of this song must mean so much to you right now. They say time is a great healer and I hope the pain will ease but knowing that one day you will be with your wife again will give you the most comfort. God bless you.
I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer 686 days ago and it still feels like just yesterday. I indeed know he is with Jesus and I still feel him with me to this day. Stay strong and carry on for one day we will all be together again and walking with Jesus 🎉💪❤🙏
My mom lost my dad 16 years ago and she still misses him every day. My dad’s name was William Ward. We all miss him. They had been married 36 years. I’m so sorry for your loss. Knowing their with God brings some comfort and knowing someday we will all see him again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm in the last stages of congestive heart failure.. waiting on a heart transplant.. and I showed this to My family.. just in case.. and I'm only 47 years old.. its a hard to think about not being here for my family.. but I no I'm in gods hands.... thanks for all the prayers and hope...I finally received my heart on November 16 2020..I'm truly blessed..❤️❤️❤️❤️
I knew Joey. She was a beautiful person. She loved her family with a tenacious mindset. She loved her husband with every part of her being. She is sorely missed by us all. Her beautiful songs will live forever. Rory thought of what it would be like if she was gone not knowing just how real this song would become to him. Both of their tears are very real. She was destined to sing this song.
I love Rory & Joey's songs, this is the most moving song I have ever heard. I had commented below other songs, that one day, little Indy will sing and she will sound much like her momma. Glad a part of Joey lives on through her girl. So sorry to Rory and others who loved this beautiful , kind lady. Just a beautiful lady & lovely voice , rest in peace beautiful lady.
I believe you are confirming what I think I know but I would appreciate it if you would answer this question anyway. She made this video before she was diagnosed with cancer?
@@larryb6715 I will answer this, yes, this video was actually made before Joey's cancer diagnosis, her friend wrote this song, (her friend's mom died of cancer) if you watch the video the original artist appears in video playing the piano. Rory actually just cried at the thought of losing his wife, not knowing what was to come, it's a heart wretching song, yet beautiful in it's truth.
I am 47 and recently found out my time on earth won't be long. All of this has been so hard to process. I have not had words to comfort my husband, son and loved ones. This song has described my emotions so perfectly. Today I have had a moment of peace.
@@JoIn-y5s I have actually been diagnosed with a type of brain cancer. For now I'm considered stable but my prognosis is that it is not if but when the cancer comes back. I am trying to enjoy the time I do have left though.
I lost my wife 4 months ago from cancer ,COVID and pneumonia. I never knew how much pain there is until she passed away. My heart is broken . 49 years of love and being loved are gone and memories are the only left. This song reminds me that love will go and on. The only thing that separates us is Heaven and Earth but one day I’ll see her and join her in Heaven ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
I do understand what you are going thru, My Beautiful Wife Jan went to Heaven a year and a half ago yesterday. Yes the pain grief and emptyness never goes away. We will be together in HEAVEN forever.
Play this song at my wife's funneral. It meant so much to her and me. We listened to it while she was going through radiation and chemo, but we know the day would come. We were high school sweetheart since middle school to high school. Got married after high school, still young not knowing anything except loving one another. Struggled though life with one another. Finally got our life together and were finally happy as a family. Then found out she had brain cancer on New Years even 2018. She fought through radiation and chemo. She fought for two years because she loved her family, husband and children. Finally we lost our battle with cancer. She passed away September 4, 2020. She was only 46. She gave me 4 beautiful children who are still in school. I still listen to this song everyday trying to get through. Thank you Sweetheart for the years you've share with me. Thank you Joey.
Beautiful song. I lost my husband 6 weeks ago. He hadn't been sick. The Lord took him in his sleep, peacefully like we all want to go. I know he's in Heaven and I will see him again. He was my best friend and I just miss him so much.
I’m really sorry about that okay 😒☹️and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve lost will wanna see us happy anywhere they’re. I lost my oldest daughter Annabel on February 24th 2020 during the lockdown on a car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unluckily for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamentable day of my life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife also passed away 3 years ago from a shocking disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 God and time are indeed the best healers.
I've lost so many people(14) since the death of my dad 3/12/22 with the last being my husband of 10 1/2 years. He committed suicide on 8/26/23. Almost 17 months ago.and my heart is still broken into pieces. God has been my only refuge. This song is beautiful!
On February 17, 2023 I lost the lady I had met back in 1984. I had to live every emotion and experience everything she sings about in this song. Now 4 months later I still miss the lady I called my model Wife. She passed due to the effects of colon cancer treatment in 2013. I have started moving forward and putting my life back together but I still would love one more moment to tell my wife how much she touched my heart and soul. RIP my love!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Live your life. You know that she wouldn't want you to become stagnant. She knows how much she touched your heart, and someday, you can look into her eyes, and tell her.
@@mikef8681 thank you for your words of encouragement and understanding. It has been almost a year since I had to say goodbye, au revoir, and so long to the lady I called the love of my life. It has been a real journey with days and weeks of just muddling through overcoming those tears that leaked from my eyes when I would think back in all of our journey and the excitement and our shared glory of life. I still think of her everyday but I do know she wants me to move forward and not be a hermit and all alone.
You're welcome. Stating the obvious, the anniversary will probably be difficult. Take a walk and notice nature big and small. Whatever feelings and emotions come or don't come, its all alright. There's no rule book. Please take care. @@geekystuff2560
I'm watching this after seeing that Rory just remarried 8 years after Joey's death. What a beautiful lady Joey was, and what a gift for her to do this video telling Rory that he would be okay without her. It's amazing that God sent someone new into his life and that he found love again.
Mama said she didn’t want anymore chemo or radiation. Toxins built up in her blood. She started her final shallow breaths. I held her hand and told her all I thought she would want to hear. When she stopped breathing and her pulse went away, I couldn’t let go of her hand. I love you mama and miss you so much.
John Bryant, My deepest love and prayers to you and yours. I wish I could say it will get better but I can't. I lost my Mom 14 yrs. ago this month as a result of sepsis. I had her that morning but by 8:30 that evening she was gone. It was like yesterday to me and it still hurts the same. We have to look at it from our Mother's view, they are no longer in pain or suffering and have that beautiful smile on their faces that had faded over time. God Bless you and yours and strong prayers for you all. Our Moms are dancing with the other angels.
I was holding my Dad as he passed away in the hospital. Crying and pleading for him not to go. It was the hardest time of my life. Cancer. I forgot about this couple on youtube until tonight. I first found them about the time my dad passed away....
@@bluzeblast the 28th of this month it will be 14 years when I lost my Mom to sepsis. I held her until she took her last breath. I wish I could say it gets easier but I can't. It hurts just as much today as it did 14 yrs. ago. Sending you love and prayers. Just Me
@@jamesrobertson9582 I was more selfish I suppose when my dad passed. The whole family was in there as it passed and the whole time I was lying my head on Dads chest holding him pleading for him not to go. He had told me a few months before he was ok, and ready to go. I think he was tired, very tired. He told me how Mom was just such a great help with everything. So much going on in my life right now and now this. Whew.....
I'm in tears. I don't even wanna think that probably we'll lose this beautiful and talented woman in less than a year. It's just not right. My heart aches.
I lost my wife on June 12, 2018. This is something she would have said to me. Rest in peace my love until we meet again in the kingdom of heaven . I love you
My love passed from this earthly life on February 11, 2018, after 39 years of marriage and being together for almost 44. Faithful gospel preacher, tough Cowboy, and the most gentle spirit I've ever know. This song breaks me every time I listen to it. I feel your pain, Roger Nelson. May God grant you peace and comfort as you heal..in time.
Roger Nelson I am so sorry, I see my daddy’s heart breaking right now😢 My Mumma and Daddy have been married for 50 years, the hospital is sending my mom home with Hospice to pass away today... 😭😭😭😭I see the heart his Heart Breaking, it is killing me inside the pain I see my daddy going through. Stay strong Roger!
My wife went home to be with the Lord last week. I've listened to this song every day since. It's made cry but it has given me comfort too. Trying to find my new normal.
Your "New Normal" is WAY out there. MINE was (as a widower). Just KNOW that your beloved WOULDN'T want you to HURT!!! PLEASE hang in there!!! You'll get there eventually!
I watched this 6 years ago, right after my wife passed from stage 4 cancer. Susie was a big fan of Joey and Rory, so it hit me hard. I'm watching it today, 6 years later and I'm crying like a baby. God bless All those that we have lost to this horrible disease. We will see them again someday.
My husband and I love Joey and Rory and saw them in Nashville. We started following them. We followed the story of Joeys struggles with cancer. I remember Keith showing me this video in Feb of 2017 after Joey passed. It was sad. In April of 2017, my husband,Keith died by suicide. I told my sister that Keith loved this song. My sister and his sister planned his funeral because I could not. But they played this song at the service. I don’t know how many times I have watched this video and have listened to this song. I don’t know how many times I have cried because I miss him. Keith and I were married for 32 years and 5 months. This song is close to me and so much of this song is my life. I miss Keith everyday, but I am living my new life without him. I miss him everyday.
I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you loved, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my wife 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer. I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! it'd be nice if you just say hi, here is my number +17866678266 or rather you can send me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.
@@cruza726 I was sure I saw in the interview they did with Bill Gaither, that this video was shot at the point they'd told her they had done all they could and she decided against any more treatment. I think Rory struggled more with the filming than Joey did, because She's singing it to him, and he knows what's coming. I obviously misunderstood.
Essem Sween The song was written by a friend of theirs, Sandy Lawrence, who wrote it for her mom when she was dying as a means to cope. Rory and Joey liked it so much they decided to record it. When they did the video they suggested Joey sing it to Rory as if she was dying ( he wasn’t really a fan of doing that ) but went with it anyway.. Little did they know it would play out in their life years later.. I know all of this because this song really hits home for me and I wanted to know the whole story behind it. I too have metastatic stage 4 cervical cancer. This song and her story mean alot to me.
@@cruza726 I'm with you there Cruza726. I found the duo by accident not long before her diagnosis; but found out about Sandy and her Mother and her reasons behind how she came to compose the song later. I think it might have been one of the interviews she did with Bill Gaithers on his channel around the time they launched the Hymns CD/DVD. Also through the beautiful documentary he filmed following the couple through the whole gut-wrenching, heart breaking but uplifting journey through the diagnosis, treatment and ultimate demise of a lady who was Grace and Class personified to me. I think it hit home to everyone but to those of us who are suffering through our own diagnosis and treatment probably it hits a little harder. I wish you well in your fight against this awful disease and as you Live with Cancer & scans & bloods &, &, & ..... Remember it's not the disease that'll get us but the ruddy side-effects lol.
I lost my wife of 40 years to cancer two days ago, and I can't stop listening to this song. It is soothing the pain a little, but life will never be the same. God bless you Rory. Watching this on my wife's computer
This is just one more thing that I absolutely cannot understand. If the length of our life had any relation to the type person we are, this lady would live to be about 200! God bless and comfort Joey and Rory.
+Maryann Anderson All I know to even say is God must pick the best angels to sing in his choir and is needing a new angel with voice it is sure to ring out through the heavens for all to hear. I don't know why we suffer so much here on this earth but I wonder if it's the strong ones that get sick the most. I have noticed that around me it's the strongest of my friends that have gotten sick maybe it's because God knows they are strong enough in their faith in him to make it no matter life their bodies are put through here on earth. God promises us a brand new body when we get to heaven and I Joey doesn't want to leave her family but blessed be in God name she will have a new body that doesn't hurt anymore. Joey and Rory my thoughts and prayers go out to you I love your music especially this song. You have touched my heart with your love for God and your steady faith. May God Bless you. I love you Both and your children too.
+D'Ascoyne Surely you do not believe there is no God, Joey is proof that there is a God..Her journey, faith will never be in vain. i have never met this beautiful lady but i can assure you I am a better person, more faith than ever before..all because of her. I have always been a believer, but becuase of her, My life has changed~ I am praying for you...
I had to stop reading the comments because I couldn’t see through the tears. Know that everyone of you are in my prayers. Only God can heal that kind of devastation! ❤ 💔❤️💔
Ms. Joey had more faith, strength, bravery and love, than an army of men! She was and always will be an example of God's pure light. Thank you, Ms. Joey, for sharing your gifts! May your peace be greater in Heaven than your pain on Earth. Always loving you ❤
My dad died this morning. I knew it was coming but the hurt when it happened is not like any other pain I've ever experienced. This song is amazing. Thank you
This makes me cry because when they recorded this video, they had no idea Joey would get sick and die, just as it plays out in the video. Makes me wonder about self-fulfilling prophecies ... When you imagine something happening and go so far as to feel the emotion behind it, and during which you sort of draw that experience to you. I just wonder because I often visualize what I want for my future and then take it a step further and feel the joy I'll feel after that happens, and it has worked for me. I draw to myself the outcome I want. Sometimes it doesn't work and I feel just like this song. I just wonder ~and please don't get mad at me ~what if they had never gone through this process of not only recording the song and making the video, but more importantly, how they visualized what it would feel like. And now she's really gone. Heartbreaking. I can't help how I feel.
Wanted to validate your comment Aimee. Years ago, my husband and I were making budgeting decisions and cancelled disability insurance and spoke out "What are the chances XYZ would happen?" Then we went on to describe worse case scenario... if it did, he could still use his brain and I could be his hands. It was less than a year that he was in a terrible accident and today this is what we are dealing with. He was diagnosed a quadriplegic. Prov 18:21 tells us the power of words bring life or death... so thankfully, we are knowledgeable about this and using our words to bring victory over this and other things in our life. He is walking now and we continue to try to speak health and healing and improvement. I don't think it a coincidence. I've seen this pattern in other stories I collect too. Hopefully others will take note and learn from these stories and watch their words and entertainment of vain imaginations.
I'm so sorry. I lost my 12 year old so to gun violence. Hang in there and take care of that precious child. The pain never goes away but it does get better. One day you will be able to think of her and smile. The bad memories fade but the good ones never do. This year is the 20 year anniversary of my sons death.
I'm a perfect stranger to you but I am sincerely sorry to hear that. I hope you are surrounded by people you love and that you can still find the strength to smile for them.
Bill Belcher I am so very sorry your wife is slipping away from you . May you find comfort in knowing that she will be in God's loving arms soon Sir and the knowledge that one day you will see her again . May God bless you and yours .
Bill I know what you're going through . We learned that our mom was diagnosed with stage for colon cancer in the beginning of July we as a family cared for my mom at home with the help of hospice it was very difficult to see my mom and such a fragile state on August 20, 2016 my mom lost her battle to stage for colon cancer . Sending prayers your way and just know you're not alone my advice is to definitely see the grief counselor if possible is only been a few months and I am still in denial. God bless.
I am so sorry lost my sweet sister little over a year ago..took me a year to play this song..I helt her hand while she took her last breath along with her daughter..love and prayers to you.she also died of cancer.
I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer 686 days ago and it still feels like just yesterday. I indeed know he is with Jesus and I still feel him with me to this day. Stay strong and carry on for one day we will all be together again and walking with Jesus 🎉💪❤🙏
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from..?.:..
Joey my name is Tammy Moore form Lenoir NC. My best friend of 38 years has the same kind of cancer that you have and like you hers is terminal too. She is only 41 and has three boys. your song here has brought great comfort to me in getting ready for the time I have to say Good Bye. I just want you know you have a beautiful voice God will use it in the angel's choir. But do me a favor I have followed you and your husband since you both got started please watch over my angel friend when she gets there for she sure has been through alot here on this earth. You both are fighting this with all you have and I'm so proud of you both. You both are wonderful fighters at this. God bless you Love you and your family
@debbiemartin2026 yes, they do! They are close by and see us from a different dimension. They are our helpers for our lives. We continue on after this life.
@@Rachel-zx5gw that is not biblical Christianity. The book of Revelation states there are no tears in heaven, No one leaving this earth would want to continue seeing the sin they left here.
When you are gone, Heaven gains an adoring Angel, but here you leave behind a beautiful close knit family and several thousands of fans who love you too. May the Lord wrap you in his hands to no longer feel pain and may he watch over your family blessing them in care. You are a beautiful lady. God Bless You.
I listened to this song for 5 months for no reason I was addicted to it, then on Sat the 26th of August 2018 I learned that my dad had a brain tumor. He had brain surgery on Monday, and this was the last song I played on my phone as he died with me alone in his hospital bed on Friday August 31st 2018. My mom was so destroyed she couldn't hold on. She walked away for a breath of air and he passed 4 mins later. This song is my go to as it was my guide through the worst day in my life. Daddy I miss you so much.

My mom just passed away last Sunday. She had me play this song the week before she won her fight against cancer and every thing that followed that tried to rip her body apart, she won and now she gets to rest among the beautiful stars and the oceans that she loved so much. I love her so much and miss her so much. It doesn’t feel real. But listening to this song brings me peace knowing she knew we’d be ok.
My Mom too 😢 it’s been so hard I miss her so so much. Doesn’t seem to get easier, just learning to cope differently I suppose. I’m sorry for your loss ❤❤
I am sorry for lose, I loved my mom a couple of days before Christmas 2022 I think I'll ever get over my mother 💙 she didn't want me to be sad ,but how can i not be. She was my best friend
DENNIS, YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING. YOUR HEART IS SO GENTLE AND LOVING. FOR A MAN TO EXPRESS HIS HEART IN THE DEPTH OF EMOTIONS THAT YOU HAVE DONE IS REMARKABLE. I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY AND BEING VULNERABLE. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRAIT OF HUMILITY! YOU DAD IS BLESSED TO HAVE YOU FOR HIS SON. IT IS SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO OUR PARENTS...AS YOUNG KIDS, WE THINK THEY WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US. THEN REALITY HITS. I LIVE 500 MILES FROM WHERE MY PARENTS LIVED, BEFOFE THEY DIED. I WOULD FLY TO CT TO VISIT MY MOM, AS SHE DECLINED TERRIBLY WITH DEMENTIA...WHAT A CRUEL DISEASE. I SAW HER A YEAR BEFORE SHE DIED. AND I SAID GOODBYE, THINKING I WOULD BE BACK. GOD GAVE ME A MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF A MIRACLE. MY MOMMA HAD HER EYES CLOSED (IN WHEELCHAIR) AND I THANKED HER FOR ALL SHE TAUGHT ME IN BEING A LADY, (SHE WAS FROM THE SOUTH) AND ALL THE CHARACTER TRAITS THAT ARE OF THE HEART. EVERYONE THAT WAS AROUND MY MOM AND ME (AS I KNELT DOWN TO HER LEVEL AND THANKED SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID, "IT'S BEV MOMMA, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BUT I HAVE TO GO NOW." I PUT MY HEAD ON HER HEART AND COULD HEAR HER HEATBEATS. TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE, BUT I HELD IT TOGETHER. THEN THE LAST TIME I SAID, "I HATE TO LEAVE YOU, BUT I MUST GO NOW, I WILL BE BACK. THANK YOU FOR LOVING YOUR CHILDREN AND TEACHING US TO LOVE WITH ALL OF OUR BEING." I PUT MY HAND ON HER HAND., SHE SUDDENLY PLACED HER HAND ON TOP OF MINE, AND I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS., THEN, SHE LOOKED INTO MY EYES, WITH CLARITY AND SAID, "I LOVE YOU, TOO.!" I LOOKED AT MY TWIN AND SAID, "IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT GIFT THAT SHE AND GOD GAVE ME." DUE TO MY HEALTH ISSUES, I NEVER MADE IT BACK FOR HER FUNERAL. SO GLAD I WAS BLESSED WITH THAT GIFT. IT HELPED TO HAVE SOME CLOSURE. MY DAD CALLED ME NOW LONG BEFORE HE DIED AND WE TALKED FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. HE SHARED THE HORRORS OF THE GREATEST GENERATION IN WORLD WAR II. I LET HIM TALK AND TELL ME THINGS I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. HE KEPT THEM HIDDEN. BUT I WAS SO BLESSED HE SHARED THEM WITH ME AND FELT SAFE TO DO SUCH. HE SAID, "I WAS NOT WITH MY BUDDIES WHEN THEIR SHIP WAS BLOWN UP AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN." I SAID, "DADDY, THAT WAS NOT IN GOD'S PLANL...I KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES AND YOUR FEELING OF GUILT., BUT GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART AND HE WILL HONOR YOUR HEART." HE CRIED. THAT WAS THE TIME I TALKED TO MY DAD. I AM SORRY THIS IS SO VERY LONG, DENNIS. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT I TRULY UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN. YOU WILL BE BLESSED FOR LOVING DEEPLY~~BLESSINGS~~BEV~~
It will get better Dennis. I had my dad 54 years and my mom for 59. As time passes God works by changing your focus from what you lost to what you had.
I lost my son Robbie in November to stomach cancer. My heart is so broken to. We have a great God. But I need to praise God my son is not suffering anymore. He s with baby girl miai who only lived three hours because of her heart. The Dear Lord has them together now. My pain of my son is so hard but I give my all to God and I surrender my life to him and try to lead a good life in Jesus name. Pray for all. Amen
+Brandon Hudson AMEN, Brandon!! My sister won HER battle with lung cancer on July 16, 2013 at the age of 56. She's sitting on that mountain with your wife, having the time of all times. God Bless you. :)
I've lived this... my husband passed almost 9 years ago. I was okay that first day, because I knew Larry was now with Jesus and that I too was being held by my Lord and Savior. I still bawl when I watch the video or hear the song..
Me too Anne...God Bless you. My husband passed away last year. Never can keep a dry eye to this song. Missing my husband terribly But Jesus has helped my soul through this awful time.
My dear soul I pray peace in you. I lost my wife 12 years this coming Jan and I still reach for her every morning and weep when I watch this. She was my first, only & last.
Such a beautiful and touching song so wonderfully sang by Joey with her lovely voice. My wife and I were together for 43 years. She died after battling cancer for 7 years. She is sorely missed. We all miss Joey too!❤🤗🙏🏻🎶💕🎄🍀🎸☕️🌲
Praise be to God for the hope that we will be reunited with our loves again because Jesus conquer death after loosing my husband in a tragic accident i find comfort in the book of Isaiah 54:5 where God say Iam the husband of the widow, I took him at his word and he came through for me over and over, the love and care that he show me everyday cant compare to any human love i dont know what I will do without him....
I saw them sing in Sault Ste Marie MI at a Women's Retreat and they were awesome. I lost my husband in July of 2024 unexpectedly and my Faith is what is getting me thru my heart breaking. My mom told me when she was passing. Don't ever lose FAITH.
My mom passed this week. I dedicated this inspiring, lovely song to her. Cancer is a battle. Like Joey she fought until God took her home. I truly loved Joey and her story. Keep watching us from above. There is a light after the grieving continues. God bless.
My deepest sympathies to u & ur family. I lost my brother 1/29/18 to cancer as well. I still cry everyday. He was my only brother, my baby brother. I had him for 44 1/2 years but I wanted him with me for the rest of my life. 💙🖤💙💔🤗
I lost my mother to cancer also in may 2017....and my father before that in 2000 to cancer also...cancer is one of the hardest things to watch a loved one go through because you feel so helpless...you want to take the pain away from them...I truly believe they do not lose the battle to cancer I truly believe they win freedom....freedom from the pain. We will see them all again and the pain will be no more.
My gram mom's mom and my grandpa dad's dad passed away from cancer which grandpa had alot of medical problems the last few years of his life so basically it was one of the reasons I think congestive heart failure was another
what is Joeys story? I am guessing she passed away which makes this song all the more special. I have only just come across this song so I don't know what happened
I am so sorry.The time we have with our family and loved ones leave beautiful memories.And the world has been blessed by your presence.Thank you for being someone I don't know but I know that you are an AMAZING ANGEL 😢
What a beautiful family .I miss joey myself I'll keep watching you a very good singer keep showing INDIANA SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL KEEP SHOWING HER .GIVE HER A HUG AND KISS FROM ME
Exactly! Going through it right now after losing my beautiful wife Beth of 29 wonderful years. I am so greatful that God brought you into my life and gave us 29 years of loyalty and unconditional love and joy. Somehow that joy went with you and I was left broken and devastated and so alone. I pray that we will reunite when the good Lord calls me home. I love and miss you Honey. 💔🙏
@@darrelljones3382 I relate to your sorrow, my soulmate Angie of 56 years left this earth on Oct 13 2021 I miss her so very much. Stay strong, I truly believe we will be with our loved ones again for ever...
@david rodriguez Thank you. I am so sorry for your loss. God give us strength and comfort to carry on. I know that none of us wanted to be in this club, it sucks! 🙏🛐
If you can listen to this... and not be touched... I can't even begin to imagine what's missing inside you. I'm 77 last October... and I have no one in my life who will miss me for longer than a short time...so listening to this beautiful song and the significance of how it's meaning would become known in just little while....grabs at my heart and forces me to see, as best I can, what the space I occupy will become without me. Will I be remembered? Will anyone speak my name? Or will I become more invisible than I've been all my life? I believe we're all given time... and often we don't spend it wisely. Often we don't think about what we're throwing away. Of all the things we know about life... the one thing we can't beg, borrow or steal more of..... is time. When God says it's over... it's over. Whether we're ready to leave...or not. Whether we have anyone to say goodbye to... or not... it doesn't matter. Joey was a beautiful person who touched many lives... and who will be painfully missed by more people than it's possible to imagine. Me... well, that's just not me. I threw away the "time" God gave me. I spent it... and wasted it... on things that have no value. But one day soon... I will be called by my Lord to a place far beyond anything I deserve to know or have... and the pain I've known most of my life will just melt away... and be no more... and I will be home and I will never be forgotten by God.
Herb H We all have regrets, Herb. We can understand the pain of those. But, isn't it true, as the believer you seem to be, that God forgives those wasted moments. Our problem often is that we don't forgive ourselves. Start there. God let it go, you do the same. Then, to help keep those thoughts of regret from taking you captive in the future, do one thing to stop them... find ways to help others. If we make the time to do this, it helps drive away the thoughts of wasted time and bad decisions, giving us new purpose. The fact that you're still here seems to indicate God may in fact be giving you more time to do His work. Then, when we "go home", there will be those who not only remember us but perhaps in the same spirit in which we give, they will pay it forward, giving to others. Try putting your focus there and leave the regrets in the past where they belong. I'm sure that there will be many who will say a prayer for you this night as I will. God Bless...
I’m seeing now more than ever how important it is to not waste precious time on trivial things. Faith, family and friends, matters of the heart are truly the only things that really matter. I wish more people could realize this sooner rather than later. I appreciate both your comments. God Bless
Herb, I want to be your friend. We are brother and sister in Christ. I can understand what you're saying. Also, I have 5 sons ages 39, 36, 32, 25 and 21 and they don't call me. i'm the one who calls them and I have wondered if they will miss me or wish they would have called me more often. I would love to get calls from them on Mother's day and my birthday and I would be happy. Please email me at god_is_awesome@aol.com and or if you are on facebook add me on your friends list. My facebook name is LyndaSu Loves Hugs. I look forward to hearing from you. One more thing. I will miss you when you are called home.
Your words touched me deeply, I will remember you dont dismiss the impact you may have unknowingly had on others.. nothing is wasted all is as it should be, but words like yours.. remind us, if we had a thing we wanted and needed to do then to get it done... time... that which ee cant get back ... dont hesitate a second xx thank you Herbie x
I agree Chris!!! We can all relate to this song in someway shape or form. It transcends every situation. And Joey is missed! I hope you’re doing good my friend.
Joey gone much too soon. Such a beautiful talented lady, loving mother, adoring wife this is from Grandma Loretta 85 years old. I miss you beautiful lady but I know that God had a special place and destiny for you to fulfill. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again....Grandma Loretta De Rosso
I am dealing with chemo for a recent stage 4 metastatic lung cancer diagnosis. I have made my peace with it and hubby not so much, it used to be on our regular Playlist. But he b refuses to listen to it. I will have to come listen privately now. Because I don't just understand I get it. I started crying when I first saw them crying and haven't stopped yet.
👼 R.I.P. Joey.. You have gained your wings and your pain free. You are surely missed. My heart is in pieces but your not in pain anymore. My heart breaks for little ms. Indiana. Now she has a beautiful guardian angel. God rest high on Gods mountain beautiful.
Our 28-year-old son passed away on December 21, 2016 - Just four days before Christmas. I've probably watched this video 100 times or more. I find it to so soulful and healing. Thank you for giving this gift to others. I hope you see him in Heaven. He sang in our church. He had mitochondrial myopathy (kind of like muscular dystrophy or ALS). Again, thank you
It has been a year ago since my wife of 30 years died from breast cancer. She used to play the song every day before she found out she had the disease. It was almost like she knew she was going to die soon. I played this song at her funeral, and I haven't listened to it since that day, But today wanted to listen to it, and it broke me up so bad inside. She was only 52, I will never be the same😢😢
I can't wrap my head around loss. You are a robot, if this song doesn't break you up. I'm so sorry for your loss. One foot in front of the other, is all we can do, for them.
Amy- I’m so sorry for your devastating loss- prayers are with you!!! A sisters bond Will never die from the cradle to the grave your sister will always be close by as a sister bond is unbreakable even after death. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
I lost my big sister on May 11th to covid-19 but she had been battling cancer for 5 months. I miss her so much but I know she's not in anymore pain and is cancer free. I will see her again someday.
@@angiebrocklebank7678 I am so sorry the loss of your sister it’s been a hard couple of years for so many people my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. XOXO
I lost my oldest daughter 11/1/21 in a car accident and played this during her eulogy for me and my son-in-law! It pulled at my heart the first time I heard it and today it has a very special pull at me!! God bless them for sharing this beautiful song with us!
I lost my niece who was more like a sister to me on 2.9.2021. Babygirl was only 21, gone way too soon and not a day goes by where I don't think of her. I tell her good morning and goodnight everyday.
I love and miss you, Joey. I'm dealing with a lot of health issues right now, and this afternoon will be my first visit with an oncologist. I'm not afraid of death, but i dread leaving my wife and young daughter behind. Thank you for this beautiful song. God bless you, Rory, and Indy.
So sad that this beautiful creature passed away, but we should all feel very fortunate that she left behind such a wonderful body of work. Her music will live on.
Right now my wife is i a nursing home with MS and dementia. I haven't been able to see her since late March. I don't know what I will do if she goes first. This is a women who took in and loved a broken and angry Vietnam veteran and turned him into a devoted, loving husband and father. I just hope I go first as I am 8;years older than her and at 75 cannot imagine living without her.
i’m praying for you
Praying for you.
My husband said this to He is a 100% disabled Vietnam vet to with Parkinson's & dementia Thanks for serving our country and God bless you & your wife Sending prayers your way
@@mdflefon6152 yes prayers for you that you will see her soon ..God bless you and her
I am so sorry..my heart goes out to you.
I am dying with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. I have been married to a beautiful man for 43 years. Thank you my love for your love. Most of all thank you Jesus for your precious and priceless gift of salvation. For thriugh him the veil tore between God and man to be able to have everlasting life with himm. It was love that kept him on the cross until the work was finished. He rose again in 3 days conquering sin and death. If anyone reading this does not know Christ as your saviour, please put your faith in him and the precious gift he gave to mankind. I love you Jesus
I wish you well Carla. My prayers to you and yours.
I don't know what to say, love to you, pray you don't suffer, love you.
It's just shows you can't tell your ❤ who to love Amen i love you Penny John until my last breath amen
And my husband was together 43 years. Prayers for you.
Carla my sister, God is with you.
I want you to do something that doctors don't seem to know about.
It is put on my heart to share with you..
I want you to switch to a keto diet,
Keep carbs low to about 10 to 20 every 24 hrs.
Fresh meats with all their natural fat that is in and on the edges.
No processed meats.
No snacking whatsoever.
I want you to change your intake of meals to two per 24 hrs. You will be eating your two meals in a 6 hr window. You will be eating two meals in six hrs and fasting 18 hrs each day, Like at 10a.m. & 4pm eat. no later then 4pm.
Each week pick one 24 hr window to do distilled water fasting. Actually that is good but two days a week for first two weeks. Third week you are to do distilled water fasting for 72 hrs every week along with the 18/6 eating schedule..
Cut all sugars out.
You can have 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 🫐 3 times in every ten days. No other added sugars.
No processed foods.
You need to do this to make your body go into what is called AUTOPHAGY.
AUTOPHAGY IS REGENERATION OF BAD & SICK CELLS..
Let's do this together..
I have been eating this way for 4 yrs now, but much more strict on fasting my self..
Fasting is for AUTOPHAGY
and AUTOPHAGY is cell REGENERATION..
PLEASE HELP YOUR SELF..
I used to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart symptoms, THEY ARE ALL GONE NOW for 4 yrs now..
From your brother in Christ , brother Harvey...
Remember to eat the real whole fresh foods, Not processed, No fast foods, NO OILS OF any kind.
A little real stick butter.
Nuts are out for now because of the OILS and the health issues..
Main thing to focus on is one meal at a time..
Stay away from all pork..
PIGS are sent to market all the time with basket ball size cancers hanging on the outside of their bodies before they get cut up.
I used to be in the factories where I have seen these things. Trust me. Stick with beef roasts & ground beef roasts,
Lamb ground up.
Fresh backyard chickens or the freshest you can find. No rotisserie chickens..
By all means Google
Dr Ken Berry M.D. on UA-cam. There are a bunch of good doctors like Dr.Berry out on UA-cam...
Read a lot of comments on UA-cam channels to see what others are saying...
Brother Harvey.
Most of all , Keep praying and pouring yourself out to God.. Be praying for others.
The more you talk and pray and think conversations to God, the more he will speak to you.,, through your heart, dreams, visions..
I hope I have encouraged you to not giving up, and we need to take control of our lives. The doctors can't control what we eat or not eat.. we have to do that...
Oh ya, my brain fog all gone too.. fasting is so healthy..
Jesus said to his disciples these words, WHEN YOU FAST,, so we can see with these words from Jesus,
Jesus knew it is ok to fast and he expected the disciples to fast and that it is healthy...😊😊😊 Otherwise he would not have used the words,, (WHEN YOU FAST DO THIS ). Love you sister, I will be praying for your recovery...
No fruit juices either, loaded with sugars..
No artificial any thing sister..😊😊😊😊✝️🇺🇸🤠🪕🪕🪕
How does anyone give a thumbs down on a dying woman singing this love song to her husband. RIP Joey. You are so missed. Blessed Be
Maybe they would have been more sympathetic had they known this song would become true life for Joey and Rory. Who really knows. Such a beautiful, haunting, sad song. Brought tears to my eyes. What a lovely person she was!
Susan Bencomo pray for em , they don’t understand
@@rburoughs590, I can't sing this song without getting a lump in my throat. Joey is crying in the video. How did she do it??
@@ruthiemay4799, isn't that the eerie and amazing thing?? I heard Rory say he didn't want to do the video that way because it was too upsetting to imagine life without Joey. Then he said he was glad he was talked into it because now it's a comfort to him.
❤️
My wife played this for me the day after we found out she only had a month left. She would’ve been 62 today, she’s been gone more than 7 years and I’m still not fine. Miss her
This may not help but, "The cost of love is grief", it sounds like your love was great, given your grief is great.
You will be reunited with your love again. Believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
A little girl in my church who had lost her mom a few weeks ago asked me, will the hole in her heart get smaller with time, I lost my wife 4 years ago so like you I had some experience of hearts with holes. I told her, the hole will never get any smaller, but you will get bigger. As for us sir, we have grown as big as we are going to get. We await the call to come home, until then, keep strong Jim, and I will see you on the other side.
Having lost a child 29 years ago I can tell you that “you’ll never forget, but remembering will get easier.” God’s peace and love to you!
Sending you a ((((((hug)))))) My husband died on January 3rd from a stroke. We are heading into our first holiday season without him. ❤
I'm deeply sorry your heart hurts. Your wife must've been a wonderful lady.
So sorry....
My mother passed away today, im so happy for her because she is in heaven. Im so grateful that she tough me about Jesus. See ya someday soon mom.

I'm so sorry
I never thought I would be jealous of my sister dying before me because I loved her so much I couldn't stand to see her go. But now with things the way they are I'm so happy for her because she is at peace . I know this is months after your mom passed away but so sorry for your loss, it is so hard.
I just lost my wife this passed Wednesday, after a 7 month battle with Cancer. I found this song that night while listening to one of my wife's favorite songs. I truly believe that my wife sent me this song to help me get through it. thank you so much
Oh I am so sorry. I can’t imagine your pain. I am so sorry and hope the memories of her somehow make you smile. I have great memories of my daughter who passed in 2003 at 16. Stay strong, you can still cry, you’ll be ok. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God bless you brother
Sorry for your loss
Just so everyone knows the story behind the song, she did not sing this song from a first-person perspective. She recorded it in 2012, before she was diagnosed with cancer. The song was written by a friend of hers, Sandy Lawrence, whose mother was dying of cancer. The song touched Joey, and she recorded it. Although it wasn't originally recorded as a first-person story, it's poignant to view it that way after the fact. One of the most touching songs I have ever heard.
I didn't know Mike. Don't be an arrogant dick.
Yeah, he sounds like those Geico commercials. "Hmm. 15 minutes could save you 15%." "Everybody knows that."
+mike coy she was diagnosed with cervical cancer when her daughter Indy was just a few months old, had treatment, was in remission then it returned a less than a year later. she had treatment again but it didn't work and was placed on hospice care that fall, in early november I believe. she lived to see her daughter's 2nd birthday and on until passing away on March 4th.
she lived for 2 YEARS after being diagnosed NOT just over six months as you stated.

Bob Marshall oh I see thanks, I thought she had written it knowing , still a beautiful song.
960 days ago my wife left for Heaven. God tapped her on the shoulder and guided her through His gates to a seat around His throne. This song, it's meaning, it's hurt, and it's promise has been on my playlist for all of these days. The pain is endless and the hole in my soul is immense. I pray for all of you who've lost someone close and are struggling with the every day. You're not alone.
I'm so very sorry and I know you've considered every hopefilled thought inside your sad sad tears! One day very soon we will all look back & understand with a Love we never could have imagined with the deepest purity of love. I Pray God Brings You A Tender Dream Of Hopefulness, beyond anything you've ever experienced in this world that ONLY Jesus can Offer. Your tears bring tears to my eyes & many as well. GBY ....MARANATHA & SHALOM
@@WasLostnFound God Bless, lost my husband 7 years ago! I know the pain!
2,564 days since my husband passed. Life moves forward but you never ever move on. My life is happy but different and I'm just grateful for the time we had and the children we will forever share! My heart is broken and will never heal, and I'm ok with that. He is ever present in my soul.
My Dad will be gone 50 years in August. I am 67. I'll see you soon Dad. Not doing great. I've missed you all these years.
@@Merrymaid amazing you have such great memories after all these years, I feel the same way.
WHEN SOMEONE WE LOVE BECOMES A MEMORY, THAT MEMORY BECOMES A TREASURE.
100 percent
So true...
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oh how well I know this.
Very true
I always loved Joey+Rory and I always found this song very touching. It made me cry to watch it when the song eventually became Joey's own story. Now I just watched the video again, and I am crying even more, because now it is my wife's song, too. She just passed away suddenly last Thursday. Yes, you may ask "why are you watching such a sad video at a time like this?" Good question. Well, as Joey is singing I can picture my wife singing it to me. And she would say the same sorts of things. And you know what? Even though I am devastated right now, I am also at peace, and words like Joey sings here ("you'll be OK, on that first day..." and "...we'll both be fine...") bring me comfort. My wife and I are both devout Christians, like Joey and Rory, so I know that she is in the arms of Jesus right now, and someday I will join her there.
Bob, I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel your pain, I really do. I lost my fiance and love of my life last Wednesday. The day before your wife. Please accept my condolences and God give you the strength in your days ahead. I know how difficult they are.
@@BradM336 Aw, my sincere condolences to you, too. As for strength, it has been there for me all along since my wife's passing. It has bewlidered me, since I think I should be a mess right now. So I have been trying to figure out why I am taking this in stride fairly easily. Well, I got something in the mail lthe other day from The Navigators, a Christian organization. Their mailings usually include a little "gift." This one included a greeting card, which I normally would have just looked at and then tossed into the garbage. But this one said on the front "The joy of the Lord is my strength", from Nehemiah 8:10. A-ha, there is my answer to why I am feeling so strong right now. I took the card and hung it on the wall at the entrance to my kitchen so I will see it frequently as a reminder to where my strength is coming from.
I am so sorry for your loss. The words of this song must mean so much to you right now. They say time is a great healer and I hope the pain will ease but knowing that one day you will be with your wife again will give you the most comfort. God bless you.
@@Ken-mu3dc Aw, so sweet. Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, I will see her again.
So sorry for you big loss.
He is soooooooooo lucky to have a woman that loved him like that.
And now he's married to another wonderful woman
I lost my wife of 38 years 83 days ago. But she is with Jesus. It is very important to keep strong with God and pray.
😅
I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer 686 days ago and it still feels like just yesterday. I indeed know he is with Jesus and I still feel him with me to this day. Stay strong and carry on for one day we will all be together again and walking with Jesus 🎉💪❤🙏
❤ ... so true ... beautiful ... soul connection ... ❤
💖
My mom lost my dad 16 years ago and she still misses him every day. My dad’s name was William Ward. We all miss him. They had been married 36 years. I’m so sorry for your loss. Knowing their with God brings some comfort and knowing someday we will all see him again. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It’s 3/24 her voice was that of an angel and her time here still touching life’s. What a blessing she was. R.I.P Beautiful soul Joey.
3/24/24 was the last last I heard my beautiful mama's voice 😭
I'm in the last stages of congestive heart failure.. waiting on a heart transplant.. and I showed this to My family.. just in case.. and I'm only 47 years old.. its a hard to think about not being here for my family.. but I no I'm in gods hands.... thanks for all the prayers and hope...I finally received my heart on November 16 2020..I'm truly blessed..❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless you and you’re family.
How are you
My heart prayers go out to you and your family
@@kw7700 hanging in there.. thanks for asking
@@lfuentes4098 thank you.
I knew Joey. She was a beautiful person. She loved her family with a tenacious mindset. She loved her husband with every part of her being. She is sorely missed by us all. Her beautiful songs will live forever. Rory thought of what it would be like if she was gone not knowing just how real this song would become to him. Both of their tears are very real. She was destined to sing this song.
I love Rory & Joey's songs, this is the most moving song I have ever heard. I had commented below other songs, that one day, little Indy will sing and she will sound much like her momma. Glad a part of Joey lives on through her girl. So sorry to Rory and others who loved this beautiful , kind lady. Just a beautiful lady & lovely voice , rest in peace beautiful lady.
I believe you are confirming what I think I know but I would appreciate it if you would answer this question anyway. She made this video before she was diagnosed with cancer?
@@larryb6715 I will answer this, yes, this video was actually made before Joey's cancer diagnosis, her friend wrote this song, (her friend's mom died of cancer) if you watch the video the original artist appears in video playing the piano.
Rory actually just cried at the thought of losing his wife, not knowing what was to come, it's a heart wretching song, yet beautiful in it's truth.
@@larryb6715 … yes, she did. She had no idea.
heart wrenching she was such a beautifukl sole and her voice just as beautiful as she was
I am 47 and recently found out my time on earth won't be long. All of this has been so hard to process. I have not had words to comfort my husband, son and loved ones. This song has described my emotions so perfectly. Today I have had a moment of peace.
💖💔
I am so sorry to hear that. Collect those moments of peace. I hope they can help everyone. Please take care.
💔
I think you'll be alright. We (most of us) go through that at your age. Time will pass, you'll laugh and life will go on; stay happy!
@@JoIn-y5s I have actually been diagnosed with a type of brain cancer. For now I'm considered stable but my prognosis is that it is not if but when the cancer comes back. I am trying to enjoy the time I do have left though.
I lost my wife 4 months ago from cancer ,COVID and pneumonia. I never knew how much pain there is until she passed away. My heart is broken . 49 years of love and being loved are gone and memories are the only left. This song reminds me that love will go and on. The only thing that separates us is Heaven and Earth but one day I’ll see her and join her in Heaven ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
I do understand what you are going thru, My Beautiful Wife Jan went to Heaven a year and a half ago yesterday. Yes the pain grief and emptyness never goes away. We will be together in HEAVEN forever.
💔 So sorry for your the loss of your love 💞 May she be at 🕊️ in the here after! Condolences to your family as well. ✨🙏✨
Srry
Take comfort. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near. So missed, so loved, so very dear.
I'm sorry for your loss. It is very painful to go through. God bless you as you journey through this difficult time.
Play this song at my wife's funneral. It meant so much to her and me. We listened to it while she was going through radiation and chemo, but we know the day would come. We were high school sweetheart since middle school to high school. Got married after high school, still young not knowing anything except loving one another. Struggled though life with one another. Finally got our life together and were finally happy as a family. Then found out she had brain cancer on New Years even 2018. She fought through radiation and chemo. She fought for two years because she loved her family, husband and children. Finally we lost our battle with cancer. She passed away September 4, 2020. She was only 46. She gave me 4 beautiful children who are still in school. I still listen to this song everyday trying to get through. Thank you Sweetheart for the years you've share with me. Thank you Joey.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m so sorry. 🙏♥️
I'm so sorry. 💛
Beautiful song. I lost my husband 6 weeks ago. He hadn't been sick. The Lord took him in his sleep, peacefully like we all want to go. I know he's in Heaven and I will see him again. He was my best friend and I just miss him so much.
I’m really sorry about that okay 😒☹️and I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but death is just inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve lost will wanna see us happy anywhere they’re. I lost my oldest daughter Annabel on February 24th 2020 during the lockdown on a car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unluckily for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamentable day of my life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife also passed away 3 years ago from a shocking disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 God and time are indeed the best healers.
Praise God that you will see him again
Hello Christine
🥺😭
So sorry for your loss :(
I've lost so many people(14) since the death of my dad 3/12/22 with the last being my husband of 10 1/2 years. He committed suicide on 8/26/23. Almost 17 months ago.and my heart is still broken into pieces. God has been my only refuge. This song is beautiful!
Joey is not gone, she's with Jesus, where everything is perfect.
I truly believe that Rory loved and is still in LOVE with JOEY
AMEN!!!
@@genewatson9595 I fully agree with you. What a wonderful couple they were.
You're correct! ☺😇
@@marydover1286 And I can't wait to be with Jesus.
Just diagnosed with 3rd stage cancer. But my wife and I are just fine in the arms of our Jesus.
Yes just believe sending love ❤
On February 17, 2023 I lost the lady I had met back in 1984. I had to live every emotion and experience everything she sings about in this song. Now 4 months later I still miss the lady I called my model Wife. She passed due to the effects of colon cancer treatment in 2013. I have started moving forward and putting my life back together but I still would love one more moment to tell my wife how much she touched my heart and soul. RIP my love!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Live your life. You know that she wouldn't want you to become stagnant. She knows how much she touched your heart, and someday, you can look into her eyes, and tell her.
@@mikef8681 thank you for your words of encouragement and understanding. It has been almost a year since I had to say goodbye, au revoir, and so long to the lady I called the love of my life. It has been a real journey with days and weeks of just muddling through overcoming those tears that leaked from my eyes when I would think back in all of our journey and the excitement and our shared glory of life. I still think of her everyday but I do know she wants me to move forward and not be a hermit and all alone.
You're welcome. Stating the obvious, the anniversary will probably be difficult. Take a walk and notice nature big and small. Whatever feelings and emotions come or don't come, its all alright. There's no rule book. Please take care.
@@geekystuff2560
My wife passed also 12/28/22.I feel your pain. I wish that I could hug her 0ne more time......
I lost my mom in2020 it still hurt s everyday
I'm watching this after seeing that Rory just remarried 8 years after Joey's death. What a beautiful lady Joey was, and what a gift for her to do this video telling Rory that he would be okay without her. It's amazing that God sent someone new into his life and that he found love again.
I too came to view more because I felt so compelled by love when watching his new nuptials.
Truly a selfless love ❤❤❤❤🙏
She recorded this song before she found out she had cancer didn't she? 2012 passed in 2016. It's like she knew something was going to happen.
Mama said she didn’t want anymore chemo or radiation. Toxins built up in her blood. She started her final shallow breaths. I held her hand and told her all I thought she would want to hear. When she stopped breathing and her pulse went away, I couldn’t let go of her hand. I love you mama and miss you so much.
:) beautiful. Hard to type from tear filled eyes.
John Bryant, My deepest love and prayers to you and yours. I wish I could say it will get better but I can't. I lost my Mom 14 yrs. ago this month as a result of sepsis. I had her that morning but by 8:30 that evening she was gone. It was like yesterday to me and it still hurts the same. We have to look at it from our Mother's view, they are no longer in pain or suffering and have that beautiful smile on their faces that had faded over time. God Bless you and yours and strong prayers for you all. Our Moms are dancing with the other angels.
I was holding my Dad as he passed away in the hospital. Crying and pleading for him not to go. It was the hardest time of my life. Cancer. I forgot about this couple on youtube until tonight. I first found them about the time my dad passed away....
@@bluzeblast the 28th of this month it will be 14 years when I lost my Mom to sepsis. I held her until she took her last breath. I wish I could say it gets easier but I can't. It hurts just as much today as it did 14 yrs. ago. Sending you love and prayers. Just Me
@@jamesrobertson9582 I was more selfish I suppose when my dad passed. The whole family was in there as it passed and the whole time I was lying my head on Dads chest holding him pleading for him not to go. He had told me a few months before he was ok, and ready to go. I think he was tired, very tired. He told me how Mom was just such a great help with everything. So much going on in my life right now and now this. Whew.....
I'm in tears.
I don't even wanna think that probably we'll lose this beautiful and talented woman in less than a year. It's just not right.
My heart aches.
Amen. She and Roy are two of the kindest folks in the industry. Heart is sick!
+HOLYSMOKES07 Rory. Dang auto correct.
+Angelo Rinaldi They've stopped all treatment; and have gone to spend what time she has left w/ their daughter and families, all we can do is pray.
+Angelo Rinaldi Miracles can still happen - I'm not giving up hope.
Rest in Peace Joey.
I lost my wife on June 12, 2018. This is something she would have said to me. Rest in peace my love until we meet again in the kingdom of heaven . I love you
Roger Nelson I'm so sorry 💔
Roger Nelson in spirit she is with you an always will be she never left your side 🧡🧡
My love passed from this earthly life on February 11, 2018, after 39 years of marriage and being together for almost 44. Faithful gospel preacher, tough Cowboy, and the most gentle spirit I've ever know. This song breaks me every time I listen to it. I feel your pain, Roger Nelson. May God grant you peace and comfort as you heal..in time.
Believe, and you will see her on the other side someday! Believe! God Bless!
Roger Nelson I am so sorry, I see my daddy’s heart breaking right now😢 My Mumma and Daddy have been married for 50 years, the hospital is sending my mom home with Hospice to pass away today... 😭😭😭😭I see the heart his Heart Breaking, it is killing me inside the pain I see my daddy going through. Stay strong Roger!
My wife went home to be with the Lord last week. I've listened to this song every day since. It's made cry but it has given me comfort too. Trying to find my new normal.
Your "New Normal" is WAY out there. MINE was (as a widower). Just KNOW that your beloved WOULDN'T want you to HURT!!!
PLEASE hang in there!!! You'll get there eventually!
I am so sorry for your loss and pain.... I am sure your loved one wants you to find your way. Sending hugs 🫂 🤗
My beautiful wife of 51 years died of cancer last Summer. Tears are streaming after listening to this lovely song.
Prayer for you❤
@@davehruby3909 pray for you ,l lost my the eight of July this year he was just sixth two

This song was wriiten and released almost 2 years before she was diagnosed.
Makes me emotional every time
2019?
She is still missed by so many. Beautiful inside and out!! ❤❤
100th like :'(
Beautiful Soul that now sores.
may I ask what happened to her?
She passed away from Cancer.
She was just so ABSOLUTELY beautiful from the inside out
I watched this 6 years ago, right after my wife passed from stage 4 cancer.
Susie was a big fan of Joey and Rory, so it hit me hard.
I'm watching it today, 6 years later and I'm crying like a baby.
God bless All those that we have lost to this horrible disease.
We will see them again someday.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your wife.😢❤
My husband and our dog passed away in a house fire on November 26th. This just popped up on my feed just when I needed it. We were together 41 years.
I’m so sorry… stay strong
Bless your heat dear ! Sweet memories will guide you through! Keep your faith ! God bleed !
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. RIP, Joey.
she was the most beautifull woman i ever saw inside and out
Joey was such a beautiful soul. My heart breaks for Rory and his daughters.
Death is not final
@@georgefougere90 i say this all the time
Sad but true when they're gone you have to learn how to live alone
Amazing. God bless them 🙏
@@georgefougere90 exactly. When you love someone it never ends! God bless them all🙏💜
My husband and I love Joey and Rory and saw them in Nashville. We started following them. We followed the story of Joeys struggles with cancer. I remember Keith showing me this video in Feb of 2017 after Joey passed. It was sad. In April of 2017, my husband,Keith died by suicide. I told my sister that Keith loved this song. My sister and his sister planned his funeral because I could not. But they played this song at the service. I don’t know how many times I have watched this video and have listened to this song. I don’t know how many times I have cried because I miss him. Keith and I were married for 32 years and 5 months. This song is close to me and so much of this song is my life. I miss Keith everyday, but I am living my new life without him. I miss him everyday.
Hello Theresia
I'm so sorry I know how it feels to be lonely without the person you loved, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life goes on because death is inevitable and we'll all have to face it someday, I lost my wife 3yrs ago to a cardiovascular disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, but that's the past now, time is indeed the best healer.
I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! it'd be nice if you just say hi, here is my number +17866678266 or rather you can send me your gmail address so I could reach out on you.
Bless you Theresia, I empathise totally, lost my wife of 32 years to cancer in Sep and when I found this song it was as if she was talking to me 💕
Condolences on your loss.
Hello Pretty 💕
some of us are better than others and get to go home sooner. I'll be 100 before I get to go. RIP
I cannot watch this video without bawling my eyes out. How she got through singing it baffles me and is another tribute to her Grace and class.
Essem Sween When she sang this song she wasnt sick and didnt know she would pass 4 years later..
@@cruza726 I was sure I saw in the interview they did with Bill Gaither, that this video was shot at the point they'd told her they had done all they could and she decided against any more treatment. I think Rory struggled more with the filming than Joey did, because She's singing it to him, and he knows what's coming. I obviously misunderstood.
Essem Sween The song was written by a friend of theirs, Sandy Lawrence, who wrote it for her mom when she was dying as a means to cope. Rory and Joey liked it so much they decided to record it. When they did the video they suggested Joey sing it to Rory as if she was dying ( he wasn’t really a fan of doing that ) but went with it anyway.. Little did they know it would play out in their life years later.. I know all of this because this song really hits home for me and I wanted to know the whole story behind it. I too have metastatic stage 4 cervical cancer. This song and her story mean alot to me.
@@cruza726 I'm with you there Cruza726. I found the duo by accident not long before her diagnosis; but found out about Sandy and her Mother and her reasons behind how she came to compose the song later. I think it might have been one of the interviews she did with Bill Gaithers on his channel around the time they launched the Hymns CD/DVD. Also through the beautiful documentary he filmed following the couple through the whole gut-wrenching, heart breaking but uplifting journey through the diagnosis, treatment and ultimate demise of a lady who was Grace and Class personified to me. I think it hit home to everyone but to those of us who are suffering through our own diagnosis and treatment probably it hits a little harder. I wish you well in your fight against this awful disease and as you Live with Cancer & scans & bloods &, &, & ..... Remember it's not the disease that'll get us but the ruddy side-effects lol.
The songwriter playing the piano wrote this after her mother died and wanted Joey to sing it, she wasn't sick yet
Shes literally the definition of too perfect for this earth
?
You summed Joey up perfectly with your comment! Her death still breaks my heart!!!! 💔💔💔
Angel
mimi sanchez you’re sad, i feel bad for you
I lost my wife of 43 years on January 15, 2019, after a 16 year battle with breast cancer. With tears all I can say is thank you Rory.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your wife
Love is eternal and she is with you
Been widowed x3....😥😥😓😓😭😭
Hope you are finding a bit of peace brother.
@@cheriludwig4912 Oh my goodness that’s really tough on anyone to be honest. 😥😥 my deepest of condolences 💐
I lost my wife of 40 years to cancer two days ago, and I can't stop listening to this song. It is soothing the pain a little, but life will never be the same. God bless you Rory. Watching this on my wife's computer
Bless you 🙏🙏
she is probably looking down at you from heaven😇🙏
I know how you feel. I lost my sweet husband of 56years in May 26 ,2023.its very hard.
❤❤😂😢
We need to hear more of these songs! Especially with the way the world is today❤
This is just one more thing that I absolutely cannot understand. If the length of our life had any relation to the type person we are, this lady would live to be about 200! God bless and comfort Joey and Rory.
+Maryann Anderson All I know to even say is God must pick the best angels to sing in his choir and is needing a new angel with voice it is sure to ring out through the heavens for all to hear. I don't know why we suffer so much here on this earth but I wonder if it's the strong ones that get sick the most. I have noticed that around me it's the strongest of my friends that have gotten sick maybe it's because God knows they are strong enough in their faith in him to make it no matter life their bodies are put through here on earth. God promises us a brand new body when we get to heaven and I Joey doesn't want to leave her family but blessed be in God name she will have a new body that doesn't hurt anymore. Joey and Rory my thoughts and prayers go out to you I love your music especially this song. You have touched my heart with your love for God and your steady faith. May God Bless you. I love you Both and your children too.
the
+Maryann Anderson Yeah, it's another proof there is no god.
+D'Ascoyne Surely you do not believe there is no God, Joey is proof that there is a God..Her journey, faith will never be in vain. i have never met this beautiful lady but i can assure you I am a better person, more faith than ever before..all because of her. I have always been a believer, but becuase of her, My life has changed~ I am praying for you...
Debra Floyd I agree with everything you say about Joey, a wonderful woman and singer. A god would never let her get cancer. At least not a good god.
I had to stop reading the comments because I couldn’t see through the tears. Know that everyone of you are in my prayers. Only God can heal that kind of devastation! ❤ 💔❤️💔
God Bless You All!❤
❤
Me and my husband watched them. Rooted for them and they won, we had both given birth when she passed a year later my husband did
Now it's even harder to watch now that she is actually gone. R.I.P Joey Feek.
RIP Joey, You are truly missed!!
Ms. Joey had more faith, strength, bravery and love, than an army of men!
She was and always will be an example of God's pure light.
Thank you, Ms. Joey, for sharing your gifts!
May your peace be greater in Heaven than your pain on Earth.
Always loving you ❤
My dad died this morning. I knew it was coming but the hurt when it happened is not like any other pain I've ever experienced. This song is amazing. Thank you
I know it's so hard. 😢 Grief is the price we pay for Love! 💔 God Be With You!! 🙏✝❤
This song helped me when my dad died in April. My heart is with you❤
So sorry for your loss. Prayers are with you.
😮
I hope you are finding your way... and hanging in there.
Life can be so painful sometimes.
Sending hugs to you. ❤️
This makes me cry because when they recorded this video, they had no idea Joey would get sick and die, just as it plays out in the video. Makes me wonder about self-fulfilling prophecies ... When you imagine something happening and go so far as to feel the emotion behind it, and during which you sort of draw that experience to you. I just wonder because I often visualize what I want for my future and then take it a step further and feel the joy I'll feel after that happens, and it has worked for me. I draw to myself the outcome I want. Sometimes it doesn't work and I feel just like this song. I just wonder ~and please don't get mad at me ~what if they had never gone through this process of not only recording the song and making the video, but more importantly, how they visualized what it would feel like. And now she's really gone. Heartbreaking. I can't help how I feel.
wow.. i thought they made the song once they already knew about the cancer :( sad
Wanted to validate your comment Aimee. Years ago, my husband and I were making budgeting decisions and cancelled disability insurance and spoke out "What are the chances XYZ would happen?" Then we went on to describe worse case scenario... if it did, he could still use his brain and I could be his hands. It was less than a year that he was in a terrible accident and today this is what we are dealing with. He was diagnosed a quadriplegic. Prov 18:21 tells us the power of words bring life or death... so thankfully, we are knowledgeable about this and using our words to bring victory over this and other things in our life. He is walking now and we continue to try to speak health and healing and improvement. I don't think it a coincidence. I've seen this pattern in other stories I collect too. Hopefully others will take note and learn from these stories and watch their words and entertainment of vain imaginations.
Aimee Walsh
Aimee Walsh Amy they call it the power of positive thinking. I agree
It is appointed for man to die and then the judgment. Make God your God, not some thought in your mind! God bless!
One of the best singers EVER
I still listen to this one sometimes, my wife is gone. Her life cut short by a terrible person, but she lives on through our wonderful little girl.
I'm so sorry. I lost my 12 year old so to gun violence. Hang in there and take care of that precious child. The pain never goes away but it does get better. One day you will be able to think of her and smile. The bad memories fade but the good ones never do. This year is the 20 year anniversary of my sons death.
i will pray for u

So sorry praying for you

We learned that our mom was diagnosed with stage for colon cancer in the beginning of July we as a family cared for my mom at home with the help of hospice it was very difficult to see my mom and such a fragile state on August 20, 2016 my mom lost her battle to stage for colon cancer . Sending prayers your way and just know you're not alone my advice is to definitely see the grief counselor if possible is only been a few months and I am still in denial. God bless.
Thank you and may God bless
This is truly how you feel when you lose someone you live so much. You really dread the morning that first day and night.
My mom lost her cancer battle on Tuesday. I held her hand as Jesus took her Home.
So sorry Hannah, but the good memories never die. ❤️
You are a wonderful loving daughter having the tender last moments. I did the same with my Mamma. I'm praying for you and your loved ones.
I am so sorry lost my sweet sister little over a year ago..took me a year to play this song..I helt her hand while she took her last breath along with her daughter..love and prayers to you.she also died of cancer.
I lost my mom to cancer this year too. It was already at stage 4 by the time we found out.
God bless you and you Mom Hannah. My Wife lost her battle in January, so I know about this battle and the cost.
Prayers to you and her.
I lost my husband to pancreatic cancer 686 days ago and it still feels like just yesterday. I indeed know he is with Jesus and I still feel him with me to this day. Stay strong and carry on for one day we will all be together again and walking with Jesus 🎉💪❤🙏
I'm very sorry about your husband, trust me I completely understand how you feel, I felt the same way when my wife past away June 4th 2018 grief is hard to deal with but we learn to live with it, where are you from..?.:..
Joey my name is Tammy Moore form Lenoir NC. My best friend of 38 years has the same kind of cancer that you have and like you hers is terminal too. She is only 41 and has three boys. your song here has brought great comfort to me in getting ready for the time I have to say Good Bye. I just want you know you have a beautiful voice God will use it in the angel's choir. But do me a favor I have followed you and your husband since you both got started please watch over my angel friend when she gets there for she sure has been through alot here on this earth. You both are fighting this with all you have and I'm so proud of you both. You both are wonderful fighters at this. God bless you Love you and your family

I MISS YOU SO MUCH MAMA DAD AUNTYS BROTHER NIECE COUSINS FAMILY PERIOD ❤
I'm so sorry for all of the family that you've lost. It's so damn hard. Let music and nature help you to heal. Take care.
This is one of the saddest songs ever recorded due to the fact that the song became reality four years later.
I’m so happy Rory found love again and I know Joey is smiling down on them. ❤
People in heaven do not see what is going on here. .
@debbiemartin2026 yes, they do! They are close by and see us from a different dimension. They are our helpers for our lives. We continue on after this life.

You’ll fight this, you’re in my thoughts and prayers
Lost my Dad to cancer in July 2016 song brings me comfort. Miss my Daddy so much 💔 😢
When I leave this world I want this Annointed song played at the Celebration that I made it and left all the pain and failures behind 🙏 amen 🇺🇸💞🎼🎶🎵
When you are gone, Heaven gains an adoring Angel, but here you leave behind a beautiful close knit family and several thousands of fans who love you too. May the Lord wrap you in his hands to no longer feel pain and may he watch over your family blessing them in care. You are a beautiful lady. God Bless You.
Hi Dee Dee💐💐
I listened to this song for 5 months for no reason I was addicted to it, then on Sat the 26th of August 2018 I learned that my dad had a brain tumor. He had brain surgery on Monday, and this was the last song I played on my phone as he died with me alone in his hospital bed on Friday August 31st 2018. My mom was so destroyed she couldn't hold on. She walked away for a breath of air and he passed 4 mins later. This song is my go to as it was my guide through the worst day in my life. Daddy I miss you so much.
Sorry for your loss and may love surround you

My mom just passed away last Sunday. She had me play this song the week before she won her fight against cancer and every thing that followed that tried to rip her body apart, she won and now she gets to rest among the beautiful stars and the oceans that she loved so much. I love her so much and miss her so much. It doesn’t feel real. But listening to this song brings me peace knowing she knew we’d be ok.
M
Heavin go's loves know it belive god help u throw hard times listen bird thay sang in morning god love you sorry for lost ❤️

I'm so sorry; it is an awful pain ...
I am sorry for lose, I loved my mom a couple of days before Christmas 2022 I think I'll ever get over my mother 💙 she didn't want me to be sad ,but how can i not be.
She was my best friend
My dad is in hospice care and is close to passing. I listened to this song and I love it even though it made this 56 year old man cry. I love you dad.
I am sorry for you, Dennis
So Sorry... God be with you
God bless you, and comfort you …until that day you run into his arms ♥️
DENNIS, YOU ARE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING. YOUR HEART IS SO GENTLE AND LOVING. FOR A MAN TO EXPRESS HIS HEART IN THE DEPTH OF EMOTIONS THAT YOU HAVE DONE IS REMARKABLE. I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY AND BEING VULNERABLE. THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRAIT OF HUMILITY! YOU DAD IS BLESSED TO HAVE YOU FOR HIS SON. IT IS SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE TO OUR PARENTS...AS YOUNG KIDS, WE THINK THEY WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US. THEN REALITY HITS. I LIVE 500 MILES FROM WHERE MY PARENTS LIVED, BEFOFE THEY DIED. I WOULD FLY TO CT TO VISIT MY MOM, AS SHE DECLINED TERRIBLY WITH DEMENTIA...WHAT A CRUEL DISEASE. I SAW HER A YEAR BEFORE SHE DIED. AND I SAID GOODBYE, THINKING I WOULD BE BACK. GOD GAVE ME A MOST BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF A MIRACLE. MY MOMMA HAD HER EYES CLOSED (IN WHEELCHAIR) AND I THANKED HER FOR ALL SHE TAUGHT ME IN BEING A LADY, (SHE WAS FROM THE SOUTH) AND ALL THE CHARACTER TRAITS THAT ARE OF THE HEART. EVERYONE THAT WAS AROUND MY MOM AND ME (AS I KNELT DOWN TO HER LEVEL AND THANKED SEVERAL TIMES AND SAID, "IT'S BEV MOMMA, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BUT I HAVE TO GO NOW." I PUT MY HEAD ON HER HEART AND COULD HEAR HER HEATBEATS. TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE, BUT I HELD IT TOGETHER. THEN THE LAST TIME I SAID, "I HATE TO LEAVE YOU, BUT I MUST GO NOW, I WILL BE BACK. THANK YOU FOR LOVING YOUR CHILDREN AND TEACHING US TO LOVE WITH ALL OF OUR BEING." I PUT MY HAND ON HER HAND., SHE SUDDENLY PLACED HER HAND ON TOP OF MINE, AND I REPEATED THE SAME PROCESS., THEN, SHE LOOKED INTO MY EYES, WITH CLARITY AND SAID, "I LOVE YOU, TOO.!" I LOOKED AT MY TWIN AND SAID, "IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT GIFT THAT SHE AND GOD GAVE ME." DUE TO MY HEALTH ISSUES, I NEVER MADE IT BACK FOR HER FUNERAL. SO GLAD I WAS BLESSED WITH THAT GIFT. IT HELPED TO HAVE SOME CLOSURE. MY DAD CALLED ME NOW LONG BEFORE HE DIED AND WE TALKED FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. HE SHARED THE HORRORS OF THE GREATEST GENERATION IN WORLD WAR II. I LET HIM TALK AND TELL ME THINGS I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. HE KEPT THEM HIDDEN. BUT I WAS SO BLESSED HE SHARED THEM WITH ME AND FELT SAFE TO DO SUCH. HE SAID, "I WAS NOT WITH MY BUDDIES WHEN THEIR SHIP WAS BLOWN UP AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN." I SAID, "DADDY, THAT WAS NOT IN GOD'S PLANL...I KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES AND YOUR FEELING OF GUILT., BUT GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART AND HE WILL HONOR YOUR HEART." HE CRIED. THAT WAS THE TIME I TALKED TO MY DAD. I AM SORRY THIS IS SO VERY LONG, DENNIS. BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THAT I TRULY UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN. YOU WILL BE BLESSED FOR LOVING DEEPLY~~BLESSINGS~~BEV~~
It will get better Dennis. I had my dad 54 years and my mom for 59. As time passes God works by changing your focus from what you lost to what you had.
My son Ryan Forever 21 now as of September 4th 2022...drowned saving one of his brothers and a friend. I'm Forever broken, miss him so very much.
Oh my goodness I’m so sorry honey
I lost my son Robbie in November to stomach cancer. My heart is so broken to. We have a great God. But I need to praise God my son is not suffering anymore. He s with baby girl miai who only lived three hours because of her heart. The Dear Lord has them together now. My pain of my son is so hard but I give my all to God and I surrender my life to him and try to lead a good life in Jesus name. Pray for all. Amen
On May 25th 2015 my wife and mother of my two little girls won her battle with cancer! She's resting high on that mountain now.
Brandon Hudson walking side by side with the King of Kings...I know how you feel, brother
+Brandon Hudson AMEN, Brandon!! My sister won HER battle with lung cancer on July 16, 2013 at the age of 56. She's sitting on that mountain with your wife, having the time of all times. God Bless you. :)
+Brandon Hudson God bless you Brother!! May God always shine His grace on you and your girls..
+Brandon Hudson Prayers to you
I'm so sorry for the loss of your wife....Praying for you and your family. .
I've lived this... my husband passed almost 9 years ago. I was okay that first day, because I knew Larry was now with Jesus and that I too was being held by my Lord and Savior. I still bawl when I watch the video or hear the song..
Bless you Anne!
Me too Anne...God Bless you. My husband passed away last year. Never can keep a dry eye to this song. Missing my husband terribly But Jesus has helped my soul through this awful time.
Anne Mott
Anne Mott of course is
My dear soul I pray peace in you. I lost my wife 12 years this coming Jan and I still reach for her every morning and weep when I watch this. She was my first, only & last.
Such a beautiful and touching song so wonderfully sang by Joey with her lovely voice. My wife and I were together for 43 years. She died after battling cancer for 7 years. She is sorely missed. We all miss Joey too!❤🤗🙏🏻🎶💕🎄🍀🎸☕️🌲
Joey had a gift and now she is singing in God's choir
Amen so right
Amen. So sad that she's gone.
Anyone else crying like baby? 😭 joey we miss you
Doing my best to hold the years back.
merandia hayes me everytime i hear it
merandia hayes yes
Yup
Me!! Such a beautiful song!!
Praise be to God for the hope that we will be reunited with our loves again because Jesus conquer death after loosing my husband in a tragic accident i find comfort in the book of Isaiah 54:5 where God say Iam the husband of the widow, I took him at his word and he came through for me over and over, the love and care that he show me everyday cant compare to any human love i dont know what I will do without him....
I'm really sorry about your husband rest in peace. Yes I believe you will see him again one day
That's exacty what my grandma says'Jesus is the real,true husband who never fails me'.AMEN
Amen
Marie Savannah
I saw them sing in Sault Ste Marie MI at a Women's Retreat and they were awesome. I lost my husband in July of 2024 unexpectedly and my Faith is what is getting me thru my heart breaking. My mom told me when she was passing. Don't ever lose FAITH.
My mom passed this week. I dedicated this inspiring, lovely song to her. Cancer is a battle. Like Joey she fought until God took her home. I truly loved Joey and her story. Keep watching us from above. There is a light after the grieving continues. God bless.
My deepest sympathies to u & ur family. I lost my brother 1/29/18 to cancer as well. I still cry everyday. He was my only brother, my baby brother. I had him for 44 1/2 years but I wanted him with me for the rest of my life. 💙🖤💙💔🤗
I lost my mother to cancer also in may 2017....and my father before that in 2000 to cancer also...cancer is one of the hardest things to watch a loved one go through because you feel so helpless...you want to take the pain away from them...I truly believe they do not lose the battle to cancer I truly believe they win freedom....freedom from the pain. We will see them all again and the pain will be no more.
My gram mom's mom and my grandpa dad's dad passed away from cancer which grandpa had alot of medical problems the last few years of his life so basically it was one of the reasons I think congestive heart failure was another
BlueskiesButterflies I'm so sorry 💔
what is Joeys story? I am guessing she passed away which makes this song all the more special. I have only just come across this song so I don't know what happened
That woman is a angel in heaven !
Hello Randy.. how are you doing?
This is the most powerful song of grief that I have ever heard. She captures that loss perfectly.
And to think she was terminally ill when she recorded this and didn't even know it 😞
I am so sorry.The time we have with our family and loved ones leave beautiful memories.And the world has been blessed by your presence.Thank you for being someone I don't know but I know that you are an AMAZING ANGEL 😢
Love you so much Linda if you like to talk more my first digit is 860 followed by 736 then 304 and 1
An angel that lived briefly here on earth to make an impact on so many. Still can't help but feel the loss of such a beautiful soul. ♡
This popped up on my suggestions today. Didn't realize how long it's been since I heard her voice. Still gets me.
This one is a tough one to watch. Stay strong Rory.Joey is in her glory now.
What a beautiful family .I miss joey myself I'll keep watching you a very good singer keep showing INDIANA SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL KEEP SHOWING HER .GIVE HER A HUG AND KISS FROM ME
she dead
So terribly sad for her passing today. Only 40 years old. RIP Joey. ♥
Grief is crippling there is nothing worse. This song is so beautiful
Grief is horrible, but worse yet would be to die without Christ as your Savior!
Exactly! Going through it right now after losing my beautiful wife Beth of 29 wonderful years. I am so greatful that God brought you into my life and gave us 29 years of loyalty and unconditional love and joy. Somehow that joy went with you and I was left broken and devastated and so alone. I pray that we will reunite when the good Lord calls me home. I love and miss you Honey. 💔🙏
@@darrelljones3382 I relate to your sorrow, my soulmate Angie of 56 years left this earth on Oct 13 2021 I miss her so very much. Stay strong, I truly believe we will be with our loved ones again for ever...
@david rodriguez
Thank you. I am so sorry for your loss. God give us strength and comfort to carry on. I know that none of us wanted to be in this club, it sucks! 🙏🛐
There's a lot of resonance with this statement.
If you can listen to this... and not be touched... I can't even begin to imagine what's missing inside you. I'm 77 last October... and I have no one in my life who will miss me for longer than a short time...so listening to this beautiful song and the significance of how it's meaning would become known in just little while....grabs at my heart and forces me to see, as best I can, what the space I occupy will become without me. Will I be remembered? Will anyone speak my name? Or will I become more invisible than I've been all my life? I believe we're all given time... and often we don't spend it wisely. Often we don't think about what we're throwing away. Of all the things we know about life... the one thing we can't beg, borrow or steal more of..... is time. When God says it's over... it's over. Whether we're ready to leave...or not. Whether we have anyone to say goodbye to... or not... it doesn't matter. Joey was a beautiful person who touched many lives... and who will be painfully missed by more people than it's possible to imagine. Me... well, that's just not me. I threw away the "time" God gave me. I spent it... and wasted it... on things that have no value. But one day soon... I will be called by my Lord to a place far beyond anything I deserve to know or have... and the pain I've known most of my life will just melt away... and be no more... and I will be home and I will never be forgotten by God.
❤️ words of wisdom here. Thank you for that.
Herb H
We all have regrets, Herb. We can understand the pain of those. But, isn't it true, as the believer you seem to be, that God forgives those wasted moments. Our problem often is that we don't forgive ourselves. Start there. God let it go, you do the same. Then, to help keep those thoughts of regret from taking you captive in the future, do one thing to stop them... find ways to help others. If we make the time to do this, it helps drive away the thoughts of wasted time and bad decisions, giving us new purpose. The fact that you're still here seems to indicate God may in fact be giving you more time to do His work. Then, when we "go home", there will be those who not only remember us but perhaps in the same spirit in which we give, they will pay it forward, giving to others. Try putting your focus there and leave the regrets in the past where they belong. I'm sure that there will be many who will say a prayer for you this night as I will. God Bless...
I’m seeing now more than ever how important it is to not waste precious time on trivial things. Faith, family and friends, matters of the heart are truly the only things that really matter. I wish more people could realize this sooner rather than later. I appreciate both your comments. God Bless
Herb, I want to be your friend. We are brother and sister in Christ. I can understand what you're saying. Also, I have 5 sons ages 39, 36, 32, 25 and 21 and they don't call me. i'm the one who calls them and I have wondered if they will miss me or wish they would have called me more often. I would love to get calls from them on Mother's day and my birthday and I would be happy. Please email me at god_is_awesome@aol.com and or if you are on facebook add me on your friends list. My facebook name is LyndaSu Loves Hugs. I look forward to hearing from you. One more thing. I will miss you when you are called home.
Your words touched me deeply, I will remember you dont dismiss the impact you may have unknowingly had on others.. nothing is wasted all is as it should be, but words like yours.. remind us, if we had a thing we wanted and needed to do then to get it done... time... that which ee cant get back ... dont hesitate a second xx thank you Herbie x
Powerful!!! Even after no many years!!!
got choked up listening to this Rest In Peace Joey your work on earth is done

There's no reaction button strong enough to show how emotionally moving this song is.
So very true!!
I agree Chris!!! We can all relate to this song in someway shape or form. It transcends every situation. And Joey is missed!
I hope you’re doing good my friend.
@@PattiMahaney I'm ok. Goin through some stuff but I can handle. Just don't want to
@@ChrisHC26 I’ll keep you in my prayers my friend! 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
Excellent said. This is one of the most beautiful, touching heartfelt song I think I've ever heard. R.i.p. sweet girl you are missed.😢💔
Joey gone much too soon. Such a beautiful talented lady, loving mother, adoring wife this is from Grandma Loretta 85 years old. I miss you beautiful lady but I know that
God had a special place and destiny for you to fulfill. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again....Grandma Loretta De Rosso
I am dealing with chemo for a recent stage 4 metastatic lung cancer diagnosis. I have made my peace with it and hubby not so much, it used to be on our regular Playlist. But he b refuses to listen to it. I will have to come listen privately now. Because I don't just understand I get it. I started crying when I first saw them crying and haven't stopped yet.
Awww, hi Shelia 🌺😢
👼 R.I.P. Joey.. You have gained your wings and your pain free. You are surely missed. My heart is in pieces but your not in pain anymore. My heart breaks for little ms. Indiana. Now she has a beautiful guardian angel. God rest high on Gods mountain beautiful.
Go*
eerie how this song was their reality. rip joey
What?
She recorded this a few years before she was diagnosed.
Most of Joey's recordings were so prophetic and profound. She lives on in our hearts. R I P good lady!
I totally agree
She was so young. It's heartbreaking. Her spirit lives on in her family and her music ❤
My wife passed suddenly the same day as Joey. Hasn't been a day I don't think of her or visit her these 8 years 💔😢💔
She is a "one in lifetime" artist. She could catch a fish without a hook.
how can you not cry while watching :(
I am
Our 28-year-old son passed away on December 21, 2016 - Just four days before Christmas. I've probably watched this video 100 times or more. I find it to so soulful and healing. Thank you for giving this gift to others. I hope you see him in Heaven. He sang in our church. He had mitochondrial myopathy (kind of like muscular dystrophy or ALS). Again, thank you
Oh, by the way, his name was Joey.
Joann Bagwell I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers your way today.

Nick Colosimo Thank you for your condolences
It has been a year ago since my wife of 30 years died from breast cancer. She used to play the song every day before she found out she had the disease. It was almost like she knew she was going to die soon. I played this song at her funeral, and I haven't listened to it since that day, But today wanted to listen to it, and it broke me up so bad inside. She was only 52, I will never be the same😢😢
She would want you to move on brother..I know stand strong be of good courage...my wife survived cancer BUT we had the talk...be enouraged.
Condolences on your loss.
I can't wrap my head around loss. You are a robot, if this song doesn't break you up. I'm so sorry for your loss. One foot in front of the other, is all we can do, for them.
How are you?
I just lost my baby sister yesterday at the age of 37! I found comfort in this song & from an angel!
I am so sorry for your lost, Your Sister sings with the angels
Amy- I’m so sorry for your devastating loss- prayers are with you!!! A sisters bond Will never die from the cradle to the grave your sister will always be close by as a sister bond is unbreakable even after death. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️
I lost my big sister on May 11th to covid-19 but she had been battling cancer for 5 months. I miss her so much but I know she's not in anymore pain and is cancer free. I will see her again someday.

I lost my oldest daughter 11/1/21 in a car accident and played this during her eulogy for me and my son-in-law! It pulled at my heart the first time I heard it and today it has a very special pull at me!! God bless them for sharing this beautiful song with us!
Awww, so sorry about your loss Jim, my deep and sincere condolences, how have you been?
So sorry for your loss
I lost my only son in a car accident 16 years ago. It doesn't get easier you just find your new normal!!
I lost my niece who was more like a sister to me on 2.9.2021. Babygirl was only 21, gone way too soon and not a day goes by where I don't think of her. I tell her good morning and goodnight everyday.
she is probably looking down at you from heaven😇🙏
She had an Angel's voice & now she is one. RIP dear friend, your truly missed..😢
Hello Olivia.. how are you doing?
I love and miss you, Joey. I'm dealing with a lot of health issues right now, and this afternoon will be my first visit with an oncologist. I'm not afraid of death, but i dread leaving my wife and young daughter behind. Thank you for this beautiful song. God bless you, Rory, and Indy.
So sad that this beautiful creature passed away, but we should all feel very fortunate that she left behind such a wonderful body of work. Her music will live on.
