We have all heard the song sung by Tim McGraw…….Live Like You Were Dying……but for Joey and Rory Feek, the country song became their reality.
Rory and Joey met one day at Stan’s Truck Stop in Nashville, when Joey came in bringing a loaf of homemade banana – nut bread that she began to share with Rory, as she filled him in on her past life and how she ended up in Nashville, not knowing anyone, to take a chance on a career in music. Before they knew it, they had finished the banana – bread and knew pretty much everything about each other. As Rory told his sister later, he thought Joey was in his future, but he was not sure how it could possibly work out. And, at the same time, Joey was thinking that God had introduced her to Rory for a reason, but she was doubting the reasons why.
Rory was meant to write this story. After he and Joey married, Rory kept a blog going about their life in country music and their life as a family. Little did he know the sharp turn things would take when Joey received the diagnosis that everyone dreads to hear……an especially aggressive form of cancer. It became their love story as they invited so many into the journey of her illness. In the final months, the Feeks captured the hearts of millions around the world. They were very transparent in allowing those fans to see their love, their vulnerability, and how they chose to live their life in those final days. He had gone into their relationship looking for meaning and security in a world that seem to offer neither. After he gave his life to a higher power, he soon met Joey who would change his heart forever.
In This Life I Live, Rory not only helps the reader to connect with his and Joey’s story, but how to apply what he has learned to our own journeys when we allow ourselves to be open to those special moments in life, how to recognize them, and how we are all actually at the point of knowing that life will end. He gives an inspirational lesson of how to live your life “as if you were dying”.
“A gifted man from nowhere and everywhere in search of something to believe in. A young woman from the Midwest with an angelic voice and deep roots that just needed a place to be planted. This is their story. Two hearts that found each other and touched millions of other hearts along the way.”
