postscript
A postscript is an optional feature in the closing part of a letter that presents a final idea or an afterthought. It can be effectively used to express an idea that has been deliberately withheld from the body of a letter; stating this idea at the very end gives it strong emphasis. It appears on the second line below the copy notation (or whatever line was typed last). If the paragraphs are indented, indent the first line of the postscript. Otherwise, begin it at the left margin. Type PS: or PS. and leave one or two spaces before the first word of the postscript. (The abbreviation
can be omitted if preferred.)
Note: The abbreviation P.S. or p.s. (with an internal period after the P) is no longer used because the word postscript is now spelled as one word. For an additional postscript, use PPS: or PPS. (or no abbreviation at all), and treat this postscript as a separate paragraph.
Examples:
PS: Instead of dashing for the airport as soon as the meeting is over, why don’t you have dinner and spend the night with us and go back Saturday morning?
PPS: Better yet, why don’t you bring Joyce with you and plan to stay the whole weekend?

Wow! I asked that this morning. The abbreviation PS stands for "post script".
Post means after and script is a writng.
Together these two words have the purpose of bringing the attention of the reader to a detail that one either forgot to write in the body of the script or simply chose to leave out.
PS-You are really awesome.

Post Script
It's an addition after the original script.

Technically it means post script.
Defined P.S. means it was added after the page was originally written. Or an after thought

Don't freak out, it's not like the guy is trying to sneak around the bush or anything by avoiding actually saying LOVE always...always is a more subtle, respectful kindship type conclusive signature heading. Instead of Sincerely...which can sound pretty cheesy, using Always is like saying "here for you always". I use it to conclude letters to a lot of my friends. It's just a really sweet way to end a letter without being cliche or cheesy. Good Luck
