my Name Is Debra Rutherford,  being Born We all don't know what life Brings, well I was Pretty Much a Normal Person. From Arkansas. I Lost My Mom, to Cervical Cancer. And She Chosed her Fate. She Knew at Her Age the Risked of Having Another Child, my Baby Brother, whom I Love Unconditional. And haven't Seen in Years.
well I was one Amongst Many Children. And Today, I really Don't Hear from My Siblings. Out of 6 Girls, I'm the Only one Ended up With the Same Cancer, My Mom Died of. Well in 1985 it was Caught in Early Stages, so
being one to Go to Doctor After that, I've kept on just looking out No reoccurrences , so as Life went on I was Getting Older and didn't think I could have Children.
Well 2 yrs after Surgery, here Come a Bubbling Baby Boy. Mind You I was the Type to Be Married 1st, but Having, a Abusive Father, and Programed to Honor him.
that I just Didn't Understand, but Since She Was My Mom, ok Find. Now I Understand Why. I'm not Married.
and for a Long Time I was Afraid of Men. I thought All,
Men was like My Father, so I Missed having a Boyfriend
in School.  But Losing My Mom, I Was Lost for a Year.
I turned out Ok. But in 1998, i 1st started Losing My Hearing, but didn't Know at that time I Had Brain Tumors.  I Learned I Had a Disease, Sarcoidoisis, it Attack Everything , so Today, I Have No Immune System
no Sense, of Taste, Smell. Often I've ask God What reason I Have in life. Well when I Could Hear, I was a Sponser, of NA & AA, and Belong to Group in St Louis Mo. Mothers of Children Incarcerated, I Miss that
Environment, I was Meant to Help People. I Was A Speaker of Life STORIES‼️ At a Luncheon. And Subject
matter was  my Life, I was a Expert on me, so in 2007
i Had My 1st Surgery, 4 Brain Surgeries, I've Been a Brave Soldier, I Only Ask God One Thing. If Someone had to Touch My BODY " Let him Have Healing Hands
since then Every Surgery, I Believed and Knew I was in Gods Hands, but the Nerves was Damage, on One Surgery, I Lost My Hearing. Well it Made Me depressed.
Couldnt Finger Out My Surviving without Hearing, having Heard things All my life.  I have a Newfound 
respect, For Deaf& Dumb Community, those Ppl. Really
depend on the World of Hearing. And being Deaf, I've had Some, hearing People be Nasty to Me it's amazing
what you Learn given time to Get Experience & Grow into Knowledge,  1 Brain Surgery was Too Many, it was Like a Brick, on you head and a Elephant on Top of That
none Nice, just Wrap your thoughts Around 4 of Them
yes!!! I'm Still Screaming . Mordern tech have Given me a Outlet to be involve with Others. Yet, it Pains Me to have to Go this Route For Help, but Not to big to Ask. 
So I would Appreciate all Anyone can Contribute to this.
i Really Wants To Hear again. And Yes I'm Sure I Will in
Gods Time. But Who's to Say this is Not his Way. Of me having.  My Last Surgery was 2012 NOV. 29th. A one Small Tumor Left, been in Remission,  I'm bless for that.
while My Head Still Healing, yes in A New York Second Id Have Another Surgery, I'm Praying With Help I Can. I Miss helping those People, not being able to hear, I'm 
not There to help Anyone. I Want to be So Much. Give My Life Back.
