Marc-Andre Fleury's wife pens a beautiful letter to her husband
I think sometimes we forget the human element behind some of our favourite players. We just see trades as a part of the game and we see massive salaries and we forget about the human element. The part where people's children are involved and how players aren't just moving themselves but their also moving their entire family.
Today Marc-Andre Fleury's wife opened that door for is in a beautifully penned letter to her husband shared by the Blackhawks' Twitter page.
The entire letter can be seen at the link above, but some of our favourite excerpt are below:
We were devastated when we left Pittsburgh. As much as we wanted to keep in mind that this is all a business, when you spend so much time somewhere and make so many connections, it is hard to leave. But everything happens for a reason, and we ended up absolutely loving our time in Las Vegas. The first season felt like a fairytale, coming up a few wins short from the real happy ending. The fans adopted Marc and our family, which grew again with the birth of our son James. And, at least in my eyes, he again proved that he "still had it," adding a few more trophies to his belt.
And at home, as cheesy as it may sound, he is the most amazing "Papa". If you wonder what the next hockey wish might be for someone who has accomplished so much, I believe for him it's as simple as being able to play long enough for our 2-year-old son James to remember seeing his dad play in the NHL.
Through it all, my family and I thank you, all of Marc's fans near and far, for your love and support over the years. It means the world to us.
Thank you for celebrating his success today, and every day.
