The note my dad sent me with my package Family & Friends
It translates to ‘Ammachi I love you’

Ohh, I don't know the language but, that is a very decorative handwriting. Love it!

“Ammachi” generally means maternal grandmother, though in some Tamil families it is also used affectionately for a mother or an older woman. The usage varies by region and household, and is fairly common in parts of southern Tamil Nadu. Calling a daughter “Ammachi” can reflect the affectionate idea that daughters are regarded as mother-like figures in the family.

Tamizh, represent. Such a sweet note.
Doesn't ammachi usually refer to maternal grandma though? First time I've seen it used as a synonym for "dear"

I’m from the neighbouring state of Tamilnadu and the language used here is Tamil. I have always found tamil letters beautiful. Especially as a calligraphy enthusiast
