Torg, toasting his son and new daughter-in-law at their wedding
This year ended on such a sad note for our family, and I am more than ready to turn the page on a new year and a new beginning. My only sibling, Torger Kristian Olsen, died on December 18th. He had been quite ill for some time with pulmonary fibrosis, but his sudden decline and death caught us all by surprise. He met death head-on, which for all of you who knew him, that was definitely how he lived his life, too.
I hope that 2014 brings only good things to you and your loved ones. I want to hug everyone that is dear to me every day in 2014, and hold fast only to their love, peace, and goodness.
This coming year will hold new sewing students, and new sewing projects. And very soon, I will be blogging again about all the goings on in the Sew Maris studio.
Blessings to you and yours in 2014!
Maris
All the best to you Maris. Sorry for your loss. I hope 2014 is a kinder time to you.

Maris, I’m so sorry you lost your brother; my condolences.
Thank you so much, Mary Kay.
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I know that must be a tough way to start 2014, but I’m so very hopeful for all this year has in store for you and your family! My thoughts are with you right now…
Thank you, dear Amy! For sure 2014 is going to be better!
I am so sorry for your loss. This is a wonderful picture of your brother!
We said goodbye to my mother-in-law’s only sibling (a brother) on December 18th too. It has been a very different and sobering holiday season this year.
Here is to a much better 2014!
Thanks Miriam, and yay for a better 2014!! 🙂
So sorry for your loss maris. Here’s to a better 2014. We were also glad to see the back of 2013 – good riddance!
Here, here. Onward with 2014. Thanks Joanne!
I already ‘spoke’ with you via email, but just wanted to say again how sorry I am to hear of this. I also have only one sibling, a brother and can’t imagine how hard this must be. I, too, am delighted to usher in 2014 with new and great things. I hope you and your family are dealing well.
Thanks dear Catja! Let’s hear it for 2014! Can’t wait to learn about all the wonderful things coming soon in your life!
