history: My friend had a long hospital stay, and I spent a lot of time there with them. A friend of mine had an pretty serious illness and had to be in the hospital for quite a while. I spent as much time as I could there with him to keep his spirits up. Oh that sucks_comma_ I hate seeing friends and family injured or sick. That's very nice of you though that you stayed there with him_comma_ youre a good friend.
current: We've been close for a long time, so it was the least I could do for him. I know he'd do the same for me.
next: Thats awesome, good friends are always there for each other.
