Z,
If we're treading carefully you probably oughtn't to sign your letters that way.I liked it, though.
This is probably going to sound a little silly, and I don't know if it'll actually help, but it couldn't hurt, I don't think. This is a pillowcase from my bed. It's a little Navy trick when you go underway for a long time to bring a pillow from home, because when you lay down and close your eyes it tricks your brain into thinking you're back in your own bed. It helps you fall asleep until you get used to the waves and everything. So — maybe it wouldn't feel so much like you're sleeping alone in an empty room.
your,
Alfred
