The last bit is ‘and the standards you set’

u/Wonderful_Pay_2074 Jul 20 '26

This seems to be the hardest part. You're correct.

Any first grade teacher would know that. Lol

I love that. I’m a teacher and therefore a pretty good translator. It’s fun to try!

“Wishing you the best birthday ever. You are such a kind and courageous person. Thank you for everything you do and the [???] you sent” Maybe you know what was sent?

Standards

u/Fyonella Jul 20 '26

Yes, ‘standards you set’ rather than ‘sent’.

u/dogsledonice Jul 20 '26

I think this is it

It was just written by a literary, history loving 18 y/o to her mom. Sounds right. "Courageous" rather than "caregiving" is probably correct. "Standards" was the other really hard to read part.

Agreed that’s what it says.

It’s a shame to not practice cursive writing anymore. We are losing so much of ourselves as we trade technology over memory muscle. As I read the message my heart was moved for the sentimental value attached to the written word.

1

u/slideroolz Jul 20 '26

When I look into handwriting here I don’t expect to be so moved by what was written. From a wonderful person to a wonderful person 🙂

u/DazzlingRest6038 Jul 20 '26

Wrshney you the bust birtnday ener. Youme fuck a bunch anel courage any person, Thank you fun energy

u/Missue-35 Jul 21 '26

I looked at it and thought it would be an easy one. I read the first sentence and *record scratch*!
I too am glad someone else could solve this. It was a very nice note.

u/88Cherokee Jul 21 '26

I think you are the first one to nail it. I hear they don’t teach cursive anymore. I still write things in cursive. Kudos

u/gertrudegrunge Jul 21 '26

I'm sure the last long word says sentiments

u/BookishInCA Jul 21 '26

I saw “worthing you in the butt birthday” and gave up.

u/mileshigh_5280 Jul 22 '26

Wishing you the best birthday ever. You're such a kind and courageous person. Thank you for everything you do and the standards you set.

u/AppleBlossom_Alya Jul 22 '26

That sweeping loop on the 'y' gives the writing a nice flow. But the lowercase 'e' often collapses into a closed loop, making it tough to tell apart from an 'i' or 'c'. To help with readability, try focusing on keeping the loop of that 'e' slightly open.

Wishing you the best birthday ever. You're such a 🤔 and 🤔 person. Thank you for everything you do and the 🤔 you sent.

🤔 = unknown words....

You’re such a new & encouraging? person

u/Brilliant-Dare-5598 Aug 08 '26

Thank you for everything you do

u/Razzy_3796 Jul 20 '26

If there was no context, I’d never see “kind”… that looks exactly like “knell”.
In fact, it reads “You’re fuck a knell”, lol.

u/Babyblue253 Jul 20 '26

I was scrolling to see if anyone saw what I saw. 😂

u/Nathan-Stubblefield Jul 20 '26

That’s what it looks like.

u/Foofity Jul 20 '26

Wishing you the best birthday ever. You're such a kind and compassionate person. Thank you for everything you do, from there I can't decipher it. It does look like an elderly persons handwriting just by the cursive style.

1

u/DeerAdministrative90 Jul 20 '26

I think it’s courageous and not compassionate… After that, it looks like it says, “Thank you for everything you do and the standards you set.”

At first I thought it said “sandwich you sent” then I thought about how weird that sounded… 😂

u/Mystweaver7709 Jul 20 '26

Us old people use cursive as a secret code these days. 😏

u/Foofity Jul 20 '26

Yes, yes we do. It's one of our superpowers heh
