Coffee in a purple cup

Pretty much forever my dh has made me coffee in the morning when he's in the States, and he always uses my favorite purple cup.

My coffee was sitting on the counter on Wednesday while the children were putting away the breakfast dishes.

One of the dishes fell and landed just perfectly on my cup. It broke. :(

I loved this cup, and I used it for coffee or tea every day for years and years. It was a total accident, so I wasn't upset at the kiddo at all, but I was pretty sad about my cup. I had loved this cup and the coffee that dh made for me so much that I handpainted some yarn in a colorway inspired by the two. So what does dh do?

He abruptly left yesterday morning before work with kiddo in tow, and came home with two purple cups. One from the kiddo who accidentally broke it, and one from him as a backup. It's not quite the same as my former favorite purple cup, but I'm sure that I'm going to love this cup just as much. It's my favorite purple cup, you see.
