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.
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.
Home.
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.
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.
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 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 and Brenda the check-out girl?
