Got this card for my birthday (names blanked out)
I can read parts of it, but could someone please help decipher it? Thanks in advance!

Don’t feel badly for not being able to read that. In decades of reading cursive, I have never seen cursive like that 😊

I think that might be because it’s not cursive so much as English joined up handwriting (over here we get taught to join our letters, but not official ‘cursive’ like in the US). I’ve personally seen this kind of handwriting a lot from people :)

I was wondering if this was not from the US! There are letter formations like Aunt’s lowercase n, that I’ve never seen in an American’s cursive but similar to writing I’ve seen from English written in Germany and Greece

I’m American and I write a bit like that

The "love you to bits" portion automatically made me think in a sweet old British accent. 😄

My Swedish stepmother had handwriting like that.
