Stories from Love Shines
Steven Lacoursiere
Nephew Extraordinaire

Steve was born when I was 11.  I'll never forget how excited I was when he came into my life!  I was the youngest of 4 kids and I was thrilled to have a new baby come into the family.  As Steve became a toddler and young child I spent a lot of time playing with him and taking him for walks around the

 neighbourhood when my sister would come home with her family.  Steve was a precocious child and seemed to always get into mischief.  But I adored him.

Steve has had a huge part in the Love Shines CD especially over the past 5 weeks.  He has put together the graphic design for the album which you will see in a few weeks.  He has put in countless hours over the phone with me and invested his evenings and weekends into this project as a gift of love.

To receive all that he has done for me is very humbling and I am truly grateful.  Yesterday topped the cake though as he made extra phone calls on my behalf to deal with some practical challenges we were facing.   He really didn't need to do this for me, but he did.

I love this guy - have ever since the day he was born.

And I think I am now realizing - he loves me too.

Thanks Steve.
