Throughout Joey Feek’s brave battle against cancer, there was one thing, or rather, one person, who always served as a source of hope for her and Rory…their little girl Indiana.

As Rory kept the world updated with how Joey was doing, he also shared photos and stories of Indy, who was a ray of sunshine in a sad time. Since Joey passed away on March 4, 2016, Rory has relied on his baby girl more than ever to bring him happiness and strength.

And she’s done just that.

Rory and Indy’s bond is something truly special, as made clear in the many photos Rory continues to share of them together. To honor the powerful father-daughter relationship Rory and Indy share, we’ve gathered some of their sweetest photos to share here.
