Does penmanship matter? YES
Last week, there was a letter where the gentleman said NO, penmanship no longer mattered since everything is now done electronically. I disagree.
Personally written and signed notes, cards and even letters are appreciated by the majority of humans. It shows a thoughtful connection if not love. For Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthday, anniversary and especially when someone dies. A handwritten note expressing sincere condolences, even if it just says, “I’m so sorry, know that I’m thinking of you” means more than a electronically delivered message.
Take it from someone who has lost both parents, five siblings, a 10-year-old nephew, two nieces at 36 and 54. A handwritten note is like receiving a live hug.
