TIFU lost passport day of travel with mom
My mom and I have been talking about going to Amsterdam since I was 19 (early 2000s for context)- basically when I fell in love with weed amd she found out I was smoking it.
We were supposed to leave last saturday and I didn't look for my passport until then. Tore my place apart for four hours...... My girlfriend was sooo not impressed with me, understandably. My mom was crying.
I'm pretty sure my mom and I quit smoking for good this time because a few months ago we would have both been like "fuck this, I need a smoke".
Trip was cancelled. I fucked up, but were doing a redo in August.
Had a lot of laugh/cry moments and my mom ended up meeting most of my friend crew after an impromptu one night camping trip was planned post travel disaster.
Many lessons to learn - be more responsible (for fuck sakes), it wasn't meant to be, it'll make the trip in August much more special.
At the end my mom wasn't surprised I fucked up lol..... we had some good laughs..
TL;DR: Thank god for loving moms when their sons lose their passport the day of travelling for a once in a lifetime trip.
