The rest of the Story.

voice came over the asking for a carry out at check 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 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 a 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 did.
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. Since
then
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.
