Until recently, I hadn't heard of Joey+Rory, but Joey's battle with stage 4 cancer caught my eye right around the time I was having my lumpectomy. Here is a beautiful, talented wife and mother who is caught in the unfair fight with cancer. And she seems to be losing.
I admire her, her strength, her fortitude. I try to stay updated with her progress, and like many of her fans, I hope she wins. I hope she defeats cancer, even though I don't think her prognosis allows for her survival.
Her imminent death makes me sad. Angry too. Angry that this disease is destroying, slowly, a beautiful, talented woman. It's unfair. Cancer's unfair.
I also admire her husband, who is allowing the public to be part of his family for the short time he has his wife with him. I cannot imagine the pain and anguish he suffers each day as he watches his wife die slowly each day.
Joey's strength has given me strength. And an appreciation for life.
Thank you, Joey and Rory.
