" Parts of the Midwest saw record snowfall over the weekend, which means lot of shoveling\u2014and grumbling\u2014this week for most of us. But for Joey Martin Feek, the heaps and heaps of snow were a special surprise. The country star, who is spending her final days\u00A0in hospice care at her family&amp;#039;s Indiana home, didn&amp;#039;t think she&amp;#039;d see snow again in her life.  Her husband, Rory, the other half of music duo Joey + Rory, wrote a touching blog post about the changing of the seasons at this difficult moment in their lives.\u00A0As he tells it, Joey, who has cervical cancer,\u00A0had just received a photo of a neighbor&amp;#039;s daughter, Scout, riding a horse;\u00A0that sweet sentiment made her &amp;quot;inconsolable,&amp;quot; Rory wrote.\u00A0&amp;quot;&amp;#039;I want to raise our baby,&amp;#039; she cried, and her tears fell harder\u2026 &amp;#039;I want to be the one to teach her.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; The couple has a daughter, Indiana, who has Down syndrome.  But then, as she sobbed in Rory&amp;#039;s arms, she looked up and saw snow falling outside their window. According to Rory, the reaction was emotional and beautiful: And a small\u00A0smile came across her face. \u00A0Then a bigger one. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;d get to see snow again.&amp;quot;\u00A0And she looked at me, then raised her eyes up at sky and said &amp;quot;if this is the last snow I ever see, thank you Jesus\u2026 thank you.&amp;quot; Like manna from Heaven. \u00A0God sent us just what we needed\u2026\u00A0\u00A0just when we needed it. \u00A0 He always does.\u00A0There will be other snows that will come. \u00A0Some might be bigger and last longer. \u00A0But none will mean more than this one. \u00A0 Rory went outside and filmed the picturesque snowstorm, so he could hold onto that memory forever. He set the footage to a hymn that Joey recorded earlier this summer, right after undergoing a major cancer surgery. That album, Hymns That Are Important to Us, will come out on Valentine&amp;#039;s Day next year, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Loeys-Deits Syndrome Foundation, to help little kids like Scout who suffer from the connective-tissue disorder.
