Hello God, it's me again. 2:00 a.m., Room 304.
Visiting hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war.
This sleeping child between us may not make it through the night.
I'm fighting back the tears as she fights for her life.
'I can't believe it. Amanda. I hold her one hand, an I.V. injected into a vein in her other.' "WHAT KIND OF GOD WOULD DO THIS!?! God, you have taken away the life I had, now you take away the love of my life! WHY should I go on? Is there a reason...?..." Kurt screamed as tears formed in his eyes. Before he realized it, those tears were flowing down his face.
Well, it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
She's much too young to be on her own:
Barely just turned seven.
So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?
'What if she leaves me? What if God has abandoned me? What if the last thing I have left to live for dies as I hold her hand...?...'
Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that she made,
As she blew out the candles on her last birthday cake?
She wants to ride a pony when she's big enough.
She wants to marry her Daddy when she's all grown up.
Kurt heard foot steps, but he did not want to turn around. There as no justification for his tears. She was still alive. So long as that goddamn beeping machine that told him her heart was still beating kept on beeping, he had no reason to cry.

"Kurt..." Kitty said. "Kitty, please leave. Go back to the mansion." Kurt said through his tears. "No." Kitty said. She had made up her mind. 'Is she here for a reason?' Kurt thought. "WHAT!?!" Kurt still didn't turn around. His tears were taking over him.
Lord, don't you know she's my angel
You got plenty of your own
And I know you hold a place for her
But she's already got a home
Well I don't know if you're listenin'
But praying is all that's left to do
So I ask you Lord have mercy, you lost a son once too
"I said I'm not going to leave. Not without you." "What do you mean, 'not without me'? " "We have a new mission." Kurt finally turned around. His soft blue fur on his face has highly defined wet, salty lines. Kitty was confused, seeing someone who she had always known as strong crying freely. The machine stopped beeping. Hospital staff rushed to Amanda's room, ordering Kurt and Kitty out. Kurt fell to his knees, but his tears stopped flowing. He stood up and started walking towards the exit doors.
And it must be kind of crowded,
On the streets of Heaven.
So tell me: what do you need her for?
Don't you know one day she'll be your little girl forever.
But right now I need her so much more.
Lord, I know once you've made up your mind,
There's no use in beggin'.
So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven.
"Has God abandoned me?" Kurt cried as he walked out of the hospital, Kitty following closely. "No. The lord is our shepherd, and one of his flock has become closer to him." Kitty told him.
