Veronique Fleury pens a public love letter to husband Marc Andre Fleury

How can you not love Marc Andre Fleury?

I've never even met the guy and I'm fully infatuated with him. Which makes me wonder just how his wife Veronique Fleury feels about me and all the other creepy Flower lovers out there.

Lucky for me and my fellow creeps, Veronique penned a public love letter for her husband and it's out there for us all to see on NHL.com.

Check it out:

A few highlights:

Marc has achieved so much over the course of his career. Not many make it to the NHL. Even fewer get to keep playing in this league into their late thirties. I like to text him after a good game, "You still got it, old man!" which I know might sound crazy to anyone outside of hockey, but yes, in this world 37 is old. Marc started playing in the NHL when he was only 18.

 500 wins has been on his mind I think since the moment he reached 400. He was hopeful that he'd be able to join the 500 club alongside his childhood idols, Martin Brodeur and Patrick Roy. 

I am just so happy for him, not only that he achieved it, but that he was able to do it in front of our friends and family in our hometown of Montreal. On top of that, he did so wearing his late dad's favorite jersey in the league.

We have been together for almost 20 years now and, although I must admit that no, he doesn't ALWAYS smile, I can attest that he is the kindest person I have ever met. He's had many heartbreaking moments in his career that he has handled with such strength and class. He does so much in the community, most of which never gets mentioned because he doesn't want the recognition. Little acts of kindness, like taking kids who are battling cancer to games, or buying pizza for a homeless shelter in Edmonton while in the bubble two summers ago, or paying six months of rent for a struggling family, or building a playground for underprivileged kids. That is the kind of person my husband is and what I am the most proud of.
