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. Aw_comma_ that sucks. But at least he got a job_comma_ right? Yeah_comma_ and it's one he really wanted and enjoys. I'm really happy for him_comma_ but would have really liked to see him.
current: Well, hopefully he can schedule another time to come visit you.
next: I hope so. We always have such a good time and like a lot of the same things. Oh well, some other time.
