Rory Feek Shares Touching Video Of Joey Playing With Daughter Indiana

What an inspiration.

After weeks of not being able to walk or leave her hospital bed, Joey + Rory’s Joey Feek did the impossible: She got up, walked, and played with her 23-month-old daughter, Indiana.

Rory Feek shared the update on his blog, This Life I Live, calling the day his terminally-ill wife walked “a gift.”

“That’s not as simple as it sounds when you’ve been in a hospital bed for weeks and were prepared to possibly never walk again,” he wrote. “But I guess the power-of-the-will is much stronger than the power of fear.  Honestly, I think Joey just got tired of listening to life going on in the rooms outside of her bedroom and tired of wondering what it would be like to be part of it… and she just had her sister Jody help her out of bed and she came out and sat down and joined in for about an hour and a half.”

Rory, along with friends and family couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Joey walk into the room.

“We were all so proud of her, but I think Joey was even more proud of herself,” he shared.

After a few minutes, Joey, 40, did something that she hadn’t been able to do for weeks: sit on the floor and play with her daughter.

“She was a mama again,” Rory recalled. “Playing with and teaching sign language to her little girl, like she’d been dreaming of being able to do.”

Rory also shared a short, but sweet clip of Joey walking and playing with Indiana. It’s surely a day they’ll never forget. It was also a moment that really put things into perspective for the duo.

“Before Joey went to sleep this evening, I sat beside her and she told me that for her it’s all come into perspective recently.  She said that when you’re lying in a bed day after day and you can do nothing and you don’t know if you’re gonna be here next Christmas, or next month or even next week… you suddenly become hyper-aware that today… that this moment – is all you have. And that today is enough.  It truly is a gift.”
