Lest we forget what is truly unique about this team. Here is part of it...
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily
working when a new voice came over the intercom
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 and
took her time card and punched out, then left. He
looked at her card and saw her name was Brenda.
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 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 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
can't the kids 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
the 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 took care of him.
When he needed to use the rest room, he
picked him up out of his chair, 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 and 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 as their quarterback.
