Thank you for your lovely message. It was wonderful. I shared it with ASL Access, and I know they were real pleased too :-) To answer your question above... Yes. That is correct. The thick line at the end of a sentence is like a period in written English. The thick line means "the end of a thought". Two thin lines means "a short pause", like a comma in written English. SignWriting has a whole list of punctuation symbols, which you will find in the Lessons In SignWriting Textbook. Very happy to hear that your daughter is learning SignWriting with you - that is great! And Merry Christmas to you too!!
