Mother: Akon Aguer Diing Yai
Mom; Akon was born in the village called wunraak dated
back to 1950s, and she grew up in her riches family of
Diing-Gop her grandfather, with her siblings as of her
big sister Abuk Aguer, Yai Aguer, Angui Aguer, Ahok
Aguer, Garang Aguer and Akon Aguer and her last siter,
her second Brother Garang Aguer was killed in Swarm
(toc) Conflict, in his first day of return home from North
Sudan and found there were some of his relatives who
prepared to go for fighting; immediately he join them
without his family noticed where he arrived in war zone
within few minutes of fighting; he was speared that led
to his dead in few hours later, meanwhile her big brother
Yai Aguer gone missing during liberation of South
Sudan, he went to Ethiopia in liberation period where he
was captured with some of his relatives men and they
were taken to military camp in Ethiopia where he gone
missing in the year 1994 and his battalion officer said he
was died; in which his family have no any information
about him until today, he is still wanted by his sister
Akon.
Akon herself attended cattle camp in her teenager
during British colonial of Sudan, she didn't attended
schools, in their time girls were not allowed to attended
studies, girls were kept in cattle camp until they grown
up-to they reach their 30s, and that was when they're
ready for married, where their parent asked dowry of
about 300 or 400 cows for marring a single girl, at her
30s in 1980s she got married to Garang chuor Loch from
(Panguet Pan Loch Awin-bek) in yargot, and she was
taken to her home in yargot were she gave birth to her
children such as, Garang Garang, Agot Garang, Lual
Garang, loch Garang, Dut Garang, Adhel Garang, and
her lastborn Deng Garang the writer of this book, she
lived in her happily family until they had differences
between her and her husband Garang Chuor Loch, and
that was when she went back to her family home and her
husband got married to his second wife until the time
when her husband Garang chuor himself went to his
farms in south-west of Aweil where he lived there for
some year before his departure.
Later; in some years ahead five children had died due to
causes of some diseases effected people back in early age
when there were no enough hospitals, this cost her five
of her children died in their different years, and only two
children were born later in 1990s were girl and boy, she
was very pleased to raise them in right way, so they could
be good people later in their life.
She also got responsibility of her mother (Agel kuol) and
her big sister' until Ageldit's finally day of departure in
2016 in her oldest age at115 years. Here are things Akon
was good at:
She was Great-woman and known for her skill of songs
listener back in the village, she was a good Samaria and
a dancer, she has senses of humor. She is now alive and
grateful for all she did to her two children in which her
lastborn is now an entrepreneur, digital marketer,
Public-relation, Author and Philosopher.
She looks up' and saying" I did enough to my children
and finally I'm retired, it's up to my children to whether
try earning their own living for I didn't have energy
again.
The lastborn is grown and his sister got married long
time ago; nobody will blame me, she raised them already.
Particularly anything that was likely to effect the future
of her two children, she was opened reminding them to
kept awake with modern way of life.
At that age, she had been unable to sleep, rather than
imagine and pray for brighter future of her children.
At midnight her brain bursting urgent in half-formed
thoughts; and she believe that one child specially the boy
was heading to his brighter tomorrow; but in the end she
want to teach her son how to be nicest person to his big
sister and for all people around him later.
She was excited by how much work her son does to host
himself when he was in exile, after she maintain her high
interest of wanting her son back when he completes his
studies' an overwhelming to talks on phone calls, sending
voice notes, to asked her son if he's getting ready to come
back home; at least none of coming of her son has effect
in family.
Her big sister who has been abandon by her son and her
husband was having good time with her at her home
when her son failed take care about his mother, Akon
herself took responsibility of her big sister who has
mental disorder.
After few years later her big sister died of the same
illness follow their mother (Ageldit) that was when her
sister's son told Akon's family that after his mother died,
then he has no longer related to Akon's family;
meanwhile he phones calls Akon her son and asked him
for help; Akon her son was in the exile meanwhile he told
Akon's family in the village that they're no longer
relatives after his mother died.
Akon was surprised about how her big sister's son
divided family that half of family are not related to him
while another family member on aboard are related to
him, asking herself 'is this my sister's son okay' the story
was very surprised to hear' in which Akon took matter in
her hands and asking her son on board to be opened
about behaviors of her sister's son toward her family
and for safety of her son in the exile.
Apparently she has warning receded in her mind as this
was negativities, she didn't ask anyone to help her out of
cruel behaving of her sister's son; she treats it as
negative and it was not effect vicious cycle of her family.
In front of her, at least' her son Deng, her daughter and
grandchildren; she was very pleased with all her
presents and grateful for everything.
She invested on her son to become strongest child than
any children in her relatives, so her son Dengdit will
write their history later for next generation's inspiration,
she used her tactics of making her Son one in trillion and
one of his kind in his generation.
