Joey Feek & Daughter Indiana Play with Wigs During Her Terminal Cancer Battle
Country star Joey Feek is getting some much need play time in with her toddler daughter Indiana as she continues to fight terminal cancer. MStars News has learned that the mother and daughter had fun playing in some wigs earlier this week.
The 40-year-old singer was diagnosed with stage IV cervical cancer back in 2014. She seems to be in good spirits as she becomes weaker while she continues to fight for her life.
MStars News previously reported that Joey's husband, and singing partner, Rory wrote in his blog over the weekend that his wife was braver then he was. "She wants to be remembered as a singer of songs. A devoted wife. A loving mother. Not a cancer patient. And so I have tried to be very careful. To honor her. But my wife is braver than me," Rory claimed.
Rory also revealed that his wife stopped walking a few days ago. He saved a dance for her and wrote, "A few days ago, on the last day Joey walked, I took her in my arms in the living room and once more put her hand in mine and we danced."
Joey is currently in the care of Hospice. Her cancer came back after she underwent several rounds of Chemotherapy. Below is a photo of the singer before her illness overtook her body and spread.
Now the Feek family is just spending time with Joey as she slower drifts away from her cancer. She decided to end cancer treatments sometime in October. Besides her adorable daughter, Indiana, Joey is the stepmother of two girls, Heidi and Hopie.
"The girls drove up here from Nashville yesterday to see Joey and spend time with her, and to spend time with their baby sister Indiana. Joey is still sleeping a lot and she hasn’t been outside the house in over a week. Too weak and too tired to even try to get up and go out. But today she did," Rory previously wrote on his blog.
"The sun was shining and a slight breeze was blowing the golden leaves that were falling from nearby trees, as Joey got up from her bed and stepped through the back screen-door and found a spot between the girls on her mama’s porch swing. And she held their hands in hers and talked with them. She told them how much she loved them, and how proud she is of them. And how proud she is to be their mother. And then she talked with them about the one thing that she didn’t think she would ever have to talk with them about: Leaving them. And then she told them of the day when they’ll be together again in Heaven.”
