ASL Campfire Story: Where did the *I-LOVE-YOU* lml/ sign originally come from? Is it English or is it ASL? lml/ or I-L-Y ?
lml/ ... because loving someone means you choose them, daily, over others, over everything. lml/ *YOU-THAT* And for as long as that choice is true, you just keep that compound sign lml/ in the air and let 'em know. THAT.
