Unfinished business

Great story

Great story...

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, so he decided to answer
the call. As he approached the checkout stand, a distant smile caught his
eye ~ the checkout 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, punched out, and 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
babysitter, so he offered to pay for the babysitter. 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 babysitter 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, and then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair.
He was born a paraplegic with Downs Syndrome.

Kurtis told 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. But Kurtis was not ordinary ~ he had a
different mindset.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids and 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 five more kids.

So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy at a grocery store in Cedar Falls,
Iowa and Brenda the checkout 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 and has his Cardinals in the Super Bowl.
Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person?

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl
XXXVI... and he has also been the NFL's Most Valuable Player twice and the
Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player. He established the First Things First
Foundation in the spring of 2001 with wife Brenda to promote Christian
values and bless the lives of those less fortunate with projects such as
trips to Disney World for ill children, building recreation centers in
childrens hospitals, helping single moms achieve the dream of homeownership
and teaching Special Olympians the football basics. All projects are
centered on Kurt and Brendas life theme: faith and family come first. The
