They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I have to wonder about that. Is it because when people who care about each other are away from each other, they send sweet cards and letters, emails to remind each other they are missed and loved, or have phone calls to connect and talk because the other person is not right there to take for granted? Sure all those nice things would make the heart grow fonder.

But what if no cards and letters are sent? No emails to remind someone they are missed and loved? No phone calls are made or returned to connect and talk. What happens to the heart then?
