Think about someone you really love and care about. It could be your spouse, your best friend, a family member, your boy/girl friend. When you don't see them, don't you miss them? Sometimes when you spend every moment with someone, you probably won't miss them or think about them as much because you see them so often. But if you don't see each other for a long time or if you're physically far away from each other, you begin to miss them a lot more!
A popular saying is that "absence makes the heart grow fonder." The word 'absence' (noun of absent) means 'not there' or 'away.' The word 'fond' means 'loving and affectionate'. When our heart grows fonder, we love and appreciate more, your feelings grow!

Let me share an example with you. This is my funny, cute, and sweet nephew. Since I live in Seattle, I can't see him all the time. When I don't see him, I miss him so much and I think about all the ways he makes me smile. The longer I don't see him, the more I want to see him! But let me tell you, when I'm with him, he is so naughty and unstoppable!! Being away from him definitely makes my heart grow fonder for him!
But there are people who disagree with this and say, "out of sight, out of mind!" This means if you don't see them and you're not with them, you don't think about them, they're out of your mind!
What do you think? Do you think "absence makes the heart grow fonder" or do you think, "out of sight, out of mind?"
