A gal named Sandy Lawrence was Joey's friend & she wrote this song & 'When I'm gone'. She said Rory released it on the 5th anniversary of the day he buried her. Such a tragic story of love & love. This couple was so devoted to each other, it breaks my heart.

Rory Feek is such a beautiful man! I read his blog about Joey and their life and her battle with cancer for years! He has a way of drawing you in with his words and touching the deepest places in your heart! 😭😭 crying listening now!

My grandmother passed from cancer when i was 11. My grandpa NEVER once left her side. He had a cold one time and my grandma had to be admitted to the hospital, so he took a chair and sat outside her room so he would be there but he wouldnt get her sick. 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ absolutely love this song.

I saw Joey and Rory when they appeared on a singing show called Can You Duet. All of us fans were so sad when she passed away.

This tears at my heart for him. I have only seen the loss of love like this once. My aunt was dying from cancer and she was afraid. Her husband had agreed many years ago that he would go 1st and be waiting for her. I know it sounds silly to make a promise but this was epic. It had appeared that that promise was not going to happen. Till one day walking through the lobby after visiting her, he suddenly fell to the floor and hit his head. The doctors said he had a stroke and when he fell it caused a hemorrhage which made him brain dead. My aunt had to sign the papers to take him off life support on her own death bed. She told us that she was no longer afraid because he was waiting for her and died 1 week later. They raised 6 kids together and had never been apart since they married.

This song was written by the same woman who wrote "When I'm Gone". That is her husband on the horse. That is Joey's grave where he pours the tequila. She is buried in an old pioneer cemetery that is on Joey and Rory's property.

Rory Feek is such a gentle man who adored his wife. Rory is also a great song writer and story teller. Dolly is a legend.

My daughter passed from Multiple Myeloma in Dec 2022. This song makes me smile and cry at the same time. I know one angel knows my name.

I lost my wife to cancer four and a half years ago and this song hits home. It's hard to just carry on when lose someone that has been at your side for over 35 years. Like you said, cherish them now while you have them. We don't know when our last day is upon us.

Kathy here - I followed Rory and his wife's journey through her cancer battle. But it was so beautiful, watching the two of them with their children, and never letting it stop them both from loving on each other and the kids. Their belief in God and the faith they had going through their battle was inspiring. And the music they made while they were going through all of this was just beautiful. First time I have seen this one. I love it and love your reaction. And yes, Rory, and angle named Joey knows your name.

I can relate to this, My 46 yr old Son out of the Blue, got diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic gall bladder cancer. I have already lost my Mom and Dad to this Crap and now he's Terminal as well. I feel much the same as He sings about. All I know to do is PRAY, and it doesn't seem to be working, so I pray some More. I knew both Joey and Rory, been to their Restaurant many times, Sweetest People you will ever meet. God bless You with your Empathetic Soul. TY crying now.

Rory did a movie in 2016 called, To Joey, With Love. It is a collage of footage of Joey's life with him before she succumbed to cancer.

Justin, thank you for asking for this song to be reviewed. I hope you find peace in your sorrow.

A little history about Joey for you.....Joey really liked Dolly and wanted to meet her. Ms. Dolly was tied up and made a visit by making her (Joey) a video and wishing her well. It lit Joeys heart up when she was in bad shape and really needed it. You should watch the video blog Rory made of their love, battle and loss, its something else.

“When I’m gone” made me cry and I had never heard of this couple years ago…. You need to listen to that one…

Dollys voice makes this that more heartbreaking

I’m glad I found you Sebs. It’s nice to know there are solid good people out there. God Bless you and your family. 🙏

I lost my husband to cancer 10yrs ago, today is the first time I've heard this song. Thanks Sebs for playing this. I feel everybody of this song.

I got the first comment. You seriously are my favorite reaction channel on KZfaq. I watch you every morning before work. And I love seeing Ali and how much of a family man you are! It's admirable. I would love to see you react with Ali to "Mr. Mom" by Lonestar. It's a funny country song. It'll make you laugh. Great reaction to this song too! Beautiful! Sending up prayers for the gentleman who sponsored this song and for you and your family Sebs. My mom had cancer. She lived through it, but it was one of the scariest moments in my life because I lost my dad when I was 5 years old. So all I really had growing up was my mom. It was terrifying that I might lose her too. This song broke my heart. Keep being awesome Sebs. I know you question yourself a lot...but the love your wife and kids have for you is proof that you are doing something right! I can't wait to see what you react to next ❤❤❤

If there are angels singing anywhere, they sound like Dolly. 😊

My heart breaks for you Justin.. I've been there. But I'm thankful for the near 40 years I had him. ❤❤ I hope you find peace.

Justin, my heart goes out to you. I lost my husband to cancer 14 months ago and I’m still trying to put what’s left of the pieces of my life back together. Peace be with you.

Hes such a beautiful songwriter. I fell in love with them when i heard joey and rorey doing “the preacher and the stranger”

Justin, my heart goes out to you. I, too, lost my best friend, my other half. i wish I could lie with ease and tell you it's all going to be ok cause I'm not there on that journey yet. But music is the one thing that keeps me going through the days. And I do believe they're watching over us from where they are - where they no longer are in pain. Cry when you want to, laugh through the tears as you remember the good times and the bad. Life's messy and that's all I'v e got. I'd take it from you if I could cause I wouldn't wish such pain on another but as a fellow traveller I raise a glass in your direction.

It's nice to see you get emotional, because it shows you're human and not so all put together all the time. There's no shame in tears and emotions. You should check out his song with their beautiful daughter Indy, called "Papa what if" It will make you smile and bring you to tears at the same time

I wish more people would react to this video because of the message. The first time I heard it I broke down and cried my heart out because it hit me hard. I still can't make it through the chorus the first time before I start crying.

What a beautiful song, and hearing Dolly singing with him is amazing

Joey so loved Dolly so this just wrecks me that she joined Rory on this beautiful heartbreaking song about the beautiful Joey Martin Feek. RIP….such a beautiful humble soul that she was. Gone way too young. I followed Joey and Rory from the start. Such a beautiful couple and their love story is sooooo rare in this world 🩷🥹

I have been widowed twice and this is breaking my heart.

This is a beautiful song. I lost my son, my mom . My dad.and my husband through the years. I am truly sorry for your loss.

God Bless You Justin. I recently lost my wife of 21 years at the age of 47. She loved Jesus and never lost her faith. Her last words to me were I want to go home and be with Jesus, and I want to go now. A few weeks after she passed I found myself unapologetically yelling and cursing to God and at God. I even called him a myth and a fraud. At the same time, I realized I needed him more than at any other time in my life.

I lost my husband of 18 years, last year. Music definitely helps me on the bad days. Songs like Dancing in the sky by Dani and Lizzy and Dancing in the sky from an angel’s perspective by Mandi Fisher. Beat you there by Will Dempsey

My parents both passed from Cancer. I had it. I do not fear it's return. Another good one by "Joey & Rory, is After I'm gone. It was popular when my mother passed. That, and this song, are THE most tearful and moving songs I've ever heard!😢😢😢

Well this one pushed me over the edge this morning- 😪😥😭😭

Justin, I am also truly sorry for your loss. Praying for you to feel surrounded by love and support. I have not lost my love. I would not ever want to imagine your loss but have dreamt about losing him. May you feel your love around you at all times.

Hi Seb, you are one of my favorite reactors, I am inspired by your faith and willingness to share your faith. I am now going into my third year after losing my wife of thirty years. And it has been hard but I have no regrets as I did what I have counseled other men to do which is to slow down and love those you still have with you. The most precious commodity of life is the people in your life and the time we have with them.❤🙏

Your wife knows you love her deeply. Just hang on tight to your girls. They are God's gift to you.

Roey has taken there farm and has made a school where the kids tend to the gardens and animals. Roey and Jodi has a daughter that has Down syndrome. And she goes to school there. His family has moved on to the farm land. And he has built an auditorium for singers to come each weekend. You should pull up some of Jodi’s singing gospel songs, and she seems so at peace that she was just an angel singing. You can just see the peace in her.

Don’t apologize for showing your love. And the chills the Holy Spirit allow you to feel

My partner, is currently dealing with stage 3 endometrial cancer. She's currently, doing chemo and will be for a year or more. Her body isn't dealing with the chemo well, and we've had a scare when she caught double pneumonia, recently. Her heart is having a hard time dealing with the pain. But she wants to keep fighting, and I will stay by her side, come what may.

Justin all my love and prayers for you 😢

A protection of comfort around you Justin.⚘

This was filmed at his farm and that’s her grave, if I’m not mistaken he had that cross made for her

I lost my husband of 53 years to cancer on July 4th and this song says it all

That was beautiful.

Beautiful simply beautiful I lost my dad,mom,sister in law to cancer and than in May of 2023 I lost my sister to cancer and my brother died on his way back home 2 weeks later he never made it back got to say goodbye to his children.

I live just a few miles from vwhere Joey is from and that family has been through so much, a good one by Joey is See You There and its about the loss of her brother

Might I recommend that when you have a bit of time you watch the documentary of Rory & Joey’s battle with cancer. It’s called “To Joey with love” and it is wonderful. It’s emotional, parts of it are hard to watch I’m not gonna lie. I’m a 50 year old man & I balled like a baby, but it’s an incredibly beautiful story about an incredibly beautiful lady who had an incredibly beautiful soul.

You really need to watch some of their videos. She is Angelic.

I was so angry at God when my husband passed, but then He helped me get through it.

Lost the love of my life to cancer. Miss him every day. Feel your pain

Justin sorry about your loss just turn to God in your time of need he is our Rock our salvation and our best friend and sometimes t we all think God is not listening to us but he is for Jesus said I will never leave you or forsake you prayers to you and your family in Jesus's holy name amen amen❤❤

I lost my dad's (step & biological) to cancer. My stepdad died first in Aug 2012 & sadly, it started a chain reaction. I lost my older sister (& only sibling) almost exactly 2 years later in Aug 2014 she died in her sleep from a heart attack at age 43, & 8 months & 8 days later in Apr. 2015 I lost my mom who I honestly believe died of a broken heart after losing my dad & sister. Then in Jan. 2022, my biological father called & told me he had cancer. They found cancer in his liver, pancreas & kidneys. By Mar. 2022 he was gone as well. Death is one thing I've never been able to handle well. My 1st experience with death that I remember was from a boyfriend who committed suicide back in 1986. I tried many times to do the same, but it was my family who always saved me from myself, but now they are all gone. There are definitely days that I find myself still thinking about it, but that's when I turn to music. As I heard P!nk once say, "music is a window to your soul when you can't find the words". Thank you for showing this song, I know the singer, but had never heard the song. I can honestly say I'm blessed to know at least 4 angels know my name & I know they continue to help save me from myself even though I can't see, hear or feel them. What a beautiful song. It's definitely going in my playlist. My thoughts & prayers go out to everyone who has ever lost a loved one, whether from cancer or because of other circumstances. Again, thank you for reacting to this song & sharing it.

My husband of 23 years was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer four months ago and was given months to live. Four rounds of chemo done and I can see him disappearing before my eyes. My best friend was also diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of her breasts, lungs and now thyroid glands this year. Her time is running short as well. To say that this year has been rough is such an understatement. Big hugs to everyone who is dealing with cancer in one way or another.

I died once of Kidney and Heart failure. Obviously, I came back through a Kidney Transplant. I also had a stroke. I battled Pancreatic and Stomach cancer but it wasn’t until a few years ago fighting addiction that I truly accepted God. He has a mission for me on earth.

Now you must hear him sing with their daughter Inda " What if PaPa".

Justin prayers for you. Really praying

My sister died 2 years ago after a long battle with lung cancer. She was 73. Her favorite groups were The Righteous Brothers and Gene Watson. I now listen to her music so I can feel closer to her.

Prayers for you Justin ❤

Prayers Justin. From the first time the word of cancer to the last breath , is hell within itself. God bless man. And may you find Gods Peace and Strength

Justin, huge hugs your way!! I'm so very sorry for the passing of your wife.. stay strong and know she still lives within you!!! She comforts you when you're down and is the reason for your smiles, memories, love, laughter & life... Again I'm truly sorry for your loss Xoxo

I easily relate to his words about Jesus. I lost my brother @54 to stage 4 stomach cancer only 6 months (which was only 9 months after getting a clean bill of health) after diagnosis and 4 months before our mother passed. The pain 2 believers went thru before they died completely destroyed my faith in a loving and caring god!!!

Love Justin and family. I always try to remember those things that make you sad now will become memories of joy. You are never alone whether thru Faith or family and friends. Though we are in a state of pain and struggling, our loved one isn’t! God Bless!

Roy posted when got cancer and her journey. She lived long enough to see her daughter turn 2. They her her funeral on the property. And she's laid to rest there

I don't know who Justin is. I assumed Rory wrote the song. Rory has written country songs for years. He wrote Some Beach for Blake Shelton. Joey had such a beautiful voice. She's probably singing with Naomi Judd in Heaven.

The part in the chorus that states “one finger for the preacher because I don’t believe the Jesus that you love so much, would put you through such pain”, really resonates with me. I think people try to comfort others in troubling times, but sometimes cause more hurt and confusion. I’ve had preachers, not knowing what to say, try to tell me “this is part of God’s Plan”… but when the worst happens, what does that say about God? We can question all we want about why God didn’t save us from pain, and death… but I’ll never for a second believe that He orchestrated a plan to make us suffer.

Rory is still at it but he stays on his farm 95% of the time for Indy. He has a school house on his farm for her and several select kids so she can socialize with kids. Last couple of years he’s done his part for Homesteaders of America for their members only in the summer. Which ends with a concert with him and some of his friends. 2 yrs ago Kevin Costner’s band played there. I forgot who headlined this year.

Been through it twice. It’s hard. Beautiful song 🎵 made me tear up

Sebs, not sure you know but Rory's, wife Joey who died of cancer favorite singer was DOLLY.

You should check out his song to his wife, me and the blues

He has passed and joined her.

Joey Feels See you there.

So sorry about your loss! #Jenny Apple

Everyone can relate to this on some level

No words.

I really don't think there's any "dealing" with the death of a spouse! I nursed my husband for 15 months before he passed away and let me tell you, it was a gut-punch like you can't imagine. I felt part of my spirit leave my body when he died. It's been 6 years and people ask why I still wear a wedding ring! I just can't take it off until I see him again!!! I know you need us to watch the entire video but today I just can't!!!!

Listen to his wife when im gone.

I lost my wife she was 44 younger than me married 4 months 2 day and 5 minutes

God has nothing to do with it we have an adversary the devil prowling like a lion to devour.

The fight, the battle that wounded our souls..and broke our hearts..the anger that comes with cancer attacking the person who’s your other half..feeling the fear of just closing your eyes not knowing if he will still be breathing when you open them again..after 3yrs God called him home..the anger, and fear of just being alone after 38yrs of being his wife I lost half of me for the rest of my life. God be with all who are,and who have, traveled this painful journey.I am forever changed..my Husband no longer calls my name

Jesus doesn't put us through anything. We all choose before we come to this place, what it is we're going to go through. What it is we need to learn and what our lives will be. Jesus, source, the universe or whatever you want to call it, is there, always, to help us through. Nothing makes any sense otherwise.

The song is super cringeworthy I can’t even get through it. Sorry..
