The Best One

The greastest gift I received this year
 Was just the fact that you weren't there
 The kids were happy and not afraid
 You are finally fading away
 There was peace and laughter in our hearts
 And you were not there to tear it apart
 Its to bad that you cant see them smile and free
 But, thats the best present anyone could give me
