The hockey world is grieving.

And in the Gaudreau household, the heartbreak is unimaginable.

On Saturday, Johnny Gaudreau’s wife, Meredith, shared a touching tribute to her late husband with a pair of Instagram posts that gave us all a glimpse into the beautiful life they built together.

“Despite losing you, I am still the luckiest girl in the world to have been yours,” Meredith wrote. “You are my forever and I can’t wait to be with you again. I love you so much forever and ever.”

Trying to find the right words today is not easy.
You were a hell of a hockey player but it’s the person Johnny that always is going to be with me, one of my closest friends, it didn’t matter if we hadn’t spoken in a day or a week we always knew where we had each other!
