Rory Feek Shares Hope That Joey Would Be ‘Proud of How I’m Doing’

Rory Feek has been keeping Joey’s memory alive for her fans and her daughter, Indiana.

In a recent interview the singer opened up about how he is working to keep his wife’s memory alive while also letting her memory inspire him.

“I’d like to think that Joey is proud of how I’m doing – how we’re all doing, especially Indiana,” the 51-year-old performer told PEOPLE. “She took so much pride in the work of being a mama to Indy, and I find myself thinking of her every day, all day long in the time that Indy and I spend together and the things we do, wondering how she would handle this, or do that.”

He added, “I remember how present Joey was and am trying to be that way too.”

Fortunately, Joey’s vibrant spirit provided a life time of memories in the short time she had with her daughter.

“I feel my wife’s presence here all the time,” he said of their farm.

He actively tries to bring her spirit and love into their family.

“We talk about Joey to Indy every day,” he shared.
