Snopes more or less confirms this.  Good story.  Despite what we read 
everyday, there are some really good people and things around us.

> > 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 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 and has
> > his
> > Cardinals in the hunt for a possible win in the 2009 Super
> > Bowl. Is this a
> > surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not
> > an ordinary person.
