“I love every single thing about you. You are my forever and I can’t wait to be with you again.”
Two days after her husband Johnny Gaudreau’s passing, Meredith Gaudreau took to Instagram on Saturday to honor him.
“Thank you for the best years of my life,” Meredith Gaudreau wrote. “Despite losing you, I am still the luckiest girl in the world to have been yours. I love you so so much. You were perfect. Some days it felt too good to be true. I love every single thing about you. You are my forever and I can’t wait to be with you again. I love you so much forever and ever.”
She then shared a follow-up post about Johnny’s role as a father.
“The absolute best dad in the world,” she wrote. “So caring and loving. The best partner to go through parenthood with. John never missed a single appointment. Was the best at putting the baby to sleep and the apple of Noa’s eye. I love how much she looks like him. We are going to make you proud. We love you so so much daddy.”
Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, were killed Thursday night when they were hit by a suspected drunken driver while riding bicycles in their home state of New Jersey.
Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, both played hockey at Boston College. Johnny Gaudreau, known as “Johnny Hockey,” played 11 seasons in the National Hockey League.
