Tycho Is Gonna Make Me Cry

Tycho got a wonderful card in the mail from Great Grandma and Grandpa Morrill! They are the best!

Me: You got a card because it's gonna be your birthday in two days! How old are you going to be?
Tycho: It's my three birthday! And I get my daddy on my three birthday...

And it made me want to burst into tears right then and there because, true, he WOULD have gotten his daddy on his "three birthday" except that there are sand storms in Iraq, which delayed Jacob's homecoming. Boo.
