history: A friend was supposed to come an visit me this Summer, but he got a job up North and had to cancel. I had so been looking forward to his visit. A good friend was supposed to visit me this Summer_comma_ but he got a job and had to cancel.
current: Aw, that sucks. But at least he got a job, right?
next: Yeah, and it's one he really wanted and enjoys. I'm really happy for him, but would have really liked to see him.
