\u201cI wish I could go back and see her reaction again,\u201d Jared\u00a0said,\u00a0laughing. \u201cI didn’t know if she hated it or loved it at the time, but she’s grown to love it.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
And as Jared\u2019s journey in both hockey and getting tattoos has progressed, Erin\u2019s love and support remain a constant. She was able to join Jared on the Kraken\u2019s mom\u2019s trip last year and is always there for her son encouraging him both on and off the ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI owe everything to her, she’s an amazing woman,\u201d Jared said. \u201c(It\u2019s\u00a0not that she\u00a0doesn\u2019t)\u00a0care about hockey, but (more so) she just wants me to be happy\u00a0and be\u00a0healthy.\u00a0That’s\u00a0all you can ask for in a mom, right? With her,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0more\u00a0just about how\u00a0I am and my well-being, than it is about what I do (in hockey).\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That guiding love for those who love him is what has set the tone for all the\u00a0body\u00a0art that has followed and is to come. Jared prefers to keep the reasons behind his other tattoos private but does share the theme for them all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust family stuff,\u201d Jared said. \u201cLittle subtle things everywhere to remember where I came from, and the family that I have and how thankful I am for them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI wish I could go back and see her reaction again,\u201d Jared\u00a0said,\u00a0laughing. \u201cI didn’t know if she hated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-518408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
