Joey Feek Shares Sweet Photo With Daughter While in Hospice
"Big smiles," the country singer wrote.
— -- Joey Feek has faced her terminal cancer battle with "big smiles" and determination since she and her husband announced they were stopping treatment last month.
The country star posted a sweet photo with her 1-year-old daughter Indiana on Thursday with the caption, "the mail lady delivered big smiles to us today....hand-sewn hats, made with love."
Joey and Rory Feek have been giving interviews and posting messages to fans during the 40-year-old's battle with cancer. In October, the couple decided to stop treatment, so she could spend her remaining weeks at her childhood home in Alexandria, Ind., with friends and family.
In an interview last week with The Tennessean, Feek said she is "at peace."
"God decided for me that my job of singing for people down here is my legacy, and he needs me singing up there. That’s how I look at it," she told the paper. "I pray that one morning I just don’t wake up. But I don’t fear anything because I’m so close to God and we’ve talked about it so many times. I know he’s close. And I know he loves me. I’m really at peace. I still believe there’s healing in prayer.”
Feek has been battling stage 4 cervical cancer since 2014 and stopped treatments in late October after they were found to be ineffective.
