In honor of our "Hillbilly" night, We in the hills of Arkansas have learned by experience that "Absence makes the heart grow fonder ..... but sometimes for someone else" - so to speak.

I don't know. But he or she should have been a bit more specific: Brief absence makes the heart grow fonder. Long absence makes the heart grow forgetful.

I don't know but I have a friend that paraphrases it, "Absence makes the heard grow fonder or younger and blonder."

In my current situation, it seemed to have caused the heart of the person in question to harden, not grow fonder.
*sigh*
These things happen, I suppose.

The Roman poet Sextus Propertius gave us the earliest form of this saying in Elegies:
"Always toward absent lovers love's tide stronger flows."

Somebody that's NEVER been without the person that he/she loves and they were right next to that person in bed, when they came up with the saying. LOL
