Lift

I believe that children with aunts who adore them are infected with a potent sense of confidence.  Nieces and nephews learn the probability of error or failure is slight, are encouraged to chart their own paths, chase their own dreams.
I also believe that an aunt's love can serve as a powerful incentive to do good.  Children whose aunts make them feel like life is a very big thing, a thing really worth living well, grow an inclination to generosity greater than the temptation of acknowledgment or power.
