Whether it’s “see you soon”, “see you later” or “I want to see you now”, seeing one another is a vital and non-negotiable part of relationships.
A playful moment of hide-n-seek with a child often includes an “I see you”. An affirming word of encouragement may include an “it’s good to see you are doing great”. “See you then” is an added confirmation for a time and place set for a future meeting. And a parting word to a friend can be a simple “see you”.
Sportmoms often say to their athlete, “I want to see you play!” They are interested in nurturing their child’s body and spirit, ensuring the proper rest, and keeping practice/ game schedules. In the end, however it is seeing them compete on the fields and courts of their sport that brings satisfaction and delight.
