Sweet little story
I received this from my niece. You may have already heard about this. I think it's damn sweet.
KURTIS THE STOCK BOY
AND
BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when
a new voice came over the loud speaker asking
for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and
wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to
answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant
smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl
was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was
only 22) and 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, smiled softly at him, 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, let's
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 as
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. Kurtis was not ordinary - - -
he had a different mindset.
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
restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair,
took him and 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.
Since then they have added two more kids.
So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy at a grocery store in
Cedar Falls/Waterloo, IA and Brenda the
check-out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in
Arizona , where he is currently employed as the
quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals.
