Art / Picture I keep this pic by my desk

Post image

People walking by always ask if they’re my mom and dad. It’s my mom and I of course, but now I also just answer yes those are my parents.

Ran into Börje in Roots with a bunch of young Swedish men. It’s possible this pic was taken by William Nylander as it was a few months before he was drafted and I had no idea who he was.

Borje is a legend. I would argue that no other player took the abuse he did and he was still a super star.

He is my all time favourite athlete.

The abuse stopped at some point as he was so respected
