How to use closeness in a sentence?
Brian Bahr/ALLSPORT -RRB- James:
It’s not just necessarily one particular moment but it’s more so just the overall bond that we had and the closeness of the group with Shane and I being the captains and just kind of figuring out how to get better and just the ups and downs you go through during the season, regardless of how good you are, as a matter of fact, my wife and I were just talking about the loss to this year’s team, the loss to [North] Carolina for [coach Mike Krzyzewski’s final home game] and I said look, you know, it sucks. I hated that was the last game. I was there. And I said it's kind of like my senior year. I lost to Maryland and that was my senior night and we just talked about the next time we come back in this gym [Cameron Indoor Stadium] it’s going to be to thank you guys for supporting us and being with us as we’re national champions. That’s what we did my senior year. It was just beautiful. Coming back, addressing the Cameron Crazies in the crowd and raising that banner for them.
It's one of the most pleasurable activities that you do with your child -- there's physical closeness but it's probably the most unhurried time that children have with their parent and it is focused on them.
That spatial closeness makes us vulnerable.
Our closeness makes us vulnerable, we will overcome. And we will show the other communities across this country how to do it.
Looking back 100 years, I can say that cultivating the land is the most wonderful job you can have, modern societies should preserve a closeness to nature... people should be able to enjoy the shade a tree gives, or feel joy when a leander starts blooming.
