Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Your  affection  for  those  close  to  you-family  and  friends-increases  when  you are parted from them. The proverb was first recorded c. 1850, but the sentiment is expressed in earlier literature—for example, by James Howell (1593?–1666), who wrote “Distance sometimes    endears    friendship,    and absence  sweeteneth  it.

Proverb expressing opposite meaning:
out of sight, out of mind.
