history: when i didnt get to go with my family  I really wanted to go with my family on vacation but I couldnt go and it sucks.  That's such a shame. Could you perhaps join them for a couple of days?
current: No I cant you know how work can be! ugh adult life right. 
next: Yeah. Oh to be a kid again and not have to deal with all that! So sorry you're going to miss time with your family. Hopefully they'll take lots of photos!
