I won't bore you with the specifics of how much I love this woman or the role she played in raising me.
Just know that I have 10 (maternal) aunts and uncles. And well over 30 cousins. She is a professional at this thing called life.
A few years ago, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, so her moments of lucidity have become further spaced apart. Regardless, I asked her for parenting advice, something I could utilize with the lunatic affectionally known as Lil Sippy Cup. This is what she told me:
"Just love him, that's all. Remember that you were him and that he'll be you. Just love him."

Simple. Direct. Precise. Brilliant.
