Signing text messages

jackI realised I've always had the habit of signing text messages with my name or initial, and "love" if appropriate. But I recently noticed that most people didn't.
Should I stop?
I feel like I'm shortchanging someone by not adding a pleasantry. I don't want any message to my family to be the first one that doesn't say "love jack".
And it's mildly useful if there's any chance the recipient may have a new phone without my number stored.
But on the other hand, it's an extra 3-11 characters that don't really serve any purpose at all.
