> Fw: A Great Story
>
> In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working
> when a new voice came
>
> over the store intercom asking for a carry out at check
> register 4.
> Kurtis was almost finished, and wanting to get some fresh
> air, he
> decided to answer the call. As he approached the check-out
> stand a
> smile caught his eye; the new check out girl was beautiful.
> She was an older woman (maybe26, and he was only 22)
> just like that he fell in love.
> Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the
> punch
> clock to find out her name. She came into the break room
> and smiled
> softly at him .She took her card and punched out, then left.
> He looked at her card,
> BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the
> road.
> Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket,
> and
> offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and
> she accepted.
> When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see
> her again,
> outside of work. She simply said it wasn't possible.
> He pressed and she explained she had two children and she
> couldn't
> afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the
> baby-sitter.
> Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the
> following Saturday.
> That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her
> tell
> him that she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had
> called
> and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, lets take
> the kids with us."
>
> She tried to explain that taking the children was not an
> option,
> but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed.
> Finally Brenda brought him inside to meet her children. She
> had an
> older daughter who was just cute as a bug, Kurtis thought.
> Then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was
> born a
> paraplegic with Down Syndrome.
>
> Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids
> can't
> come with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run
> away from
> a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities.
> (Just
> like her first husband and father of her children had done)
> That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to
> dinner
> and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would
> take care of him.
> When he needed to use the rest room, he picked him up out
> of his chair, took
> him, brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis.
>
> At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she
> was going to
>
> marry and spend the rest of her life with.
> A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of
> her
> children and since they have added two more kids.
>
> So what happened to the stock boy and check out girl?
> Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner, now live in
> St. Louis, where he
> is employed by the St. Louis Rams and plays quarterback.
