Inshallah In Pursuit Of My Father Youth
![Jese Leos](https://indexdiscoveries.com/author/shaun-nelson.jpg)
The Journey of Rediscovering My Father's Youth
As we grow older, we often reflect upon the lives of our parents and how they shaped our own journeys. The bond we share with them is unique, and yet there are aspects of their lives we may never truly know or understand. In my case, it was my father's youth that remained a mystery.
My father, a man of few words, rarely spoke of his past. Where he grew up, the friends he made, and the experiences that molded him into the person he became remained uncharted territories for me. Intrigued by this blank canvas, I embarked on a quest to uncover the untold stories and in doing so, discovered the essence of faith and perseverance in his life.

Discovering the Beauty of Inshallah
In my pursuit, I encountered the phrase "Inshallah" numerous times. Translated from Arabic, it means "if Allah wills it." This expression serves as a reminder that everything that happens in our lives is, ultimately, under the control of a higher power. It was a notion deeply embedded in my father's upbringing and one that shaped his outlook on life.
Inshallah became a guiding principle for my father, a source of comfort during times of uncertainty, and a reminder to remain humble and grateful for every opportunity that came his way. It symbolized his unwavering faith and trust in Allah's plan for him. Through my journey, I sought to understand how this belief influenced his decisions and actions.
The Power of Perseverance
As I delved deeper into my father's past, I realized that his youth was far from an easy one. Growing up in a small town with limited resources and opportunities, he faced numerous challenges. However, it was his unwavering determination and perseverance that allowed him to overcome these obstacles and carve out a path for himself.
Witnessing his struggles and triumphs firsthand was a humbling experience. Each story I uncovered shed light on the resilience and strength of my father's character. I realized that his youth had sculpted him into the person I knew and admired—someone who never gave up in the face of adversity.
Lessons Learned and a Journey of Growth
The more I learned about my father's youth, the more I grew as an individual. The values he held close to his heart became ingrained in my own journey. Inshallah and perseverance became a mantra for me, guiding my own choices and actions.
Through my father's stories, I discovered the true meaning of resilience, faith, and the importance of cherishing every moment. It taught me that life is a treasure, and every experience, whether good or bad, serves a purpose in shaping our character. It reminded me to embrace the unknown and trust in the greater plan that Allah has laid out for us.
Uncovering my father's youth was a transformative journey. It allowed me to connect with him on a deeper level and understand the driving forces behind his actions. In the process, I also uncovered valuable lessons that would shape my own path in life.
Inshallah, a phrase so deeply ingrained in my father's life, taught me the importance of surrendering to a higher power and trusting in the divine plan. Perseverance, witnessed through my father's struggles and triumphs, became a guiding light during my own moments of doubt.
In the pursuit of my father's youth, I discovered not only the man he once was, but also a deeper understanding of myself and the beliefs that would shape my own journey. It was a voyage worth embarking on, as it not only brought me closer to my father but also closer to discovering who I am.

“Aloha….welcome to Kauai in Hawaii”
walking on the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapiai Beach
in the rain to reach the Na Pali coast,
to witness the majestic emerald green pinnacles
driving to Waimea Canyon State Park
to see the spectacular “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” and
walking the Lilau Trail full of hala indigenous trees
hiking the next day into Lumahai Beach
and walking the two miles around the crescent white beach
where Mitzi Gaynor sang in “South Pacific”
enjoying Hanalei Bay with my feet sinking into the white sands
while watching young boys surf with visions
of riding the waves of the North Shore
finding the secluded and hidden Sea Lodge Beach,
going for a swim and feeling free
like a little boy again walking along the beach
