As spring comes to the valley Iâve been reveling in nature walks with friends. On the pathway south of Melody Ranch, mountain bluebirds balance expertly on last yearâs grass stalks. On the slushy Snake River dike north of Emilyâs Pond, bald eagles, ducks and swans festoon the waterway. The world is waking up, sloughing off winter and pulsing into action with blooming, courting, nest building.
And yet. On a recent walk with a friend I learned about two separate incidents of attempted suicides by adults in our community. Hearing these anecdotes worried me.

DEAR ABBY: My best friend (since we were babies) and I are having a disagreement. She had two kids when she was 16 and 17 who are now in their early 20s. One of them still lives rent-free under her roof. My friend struggled her whole life but got a college degree, bought a house five years ago and owns two cars all on her own. She recently has started having friends over on the weekends and drinking. While I don’t do that, I understand she had kids early and wants to have a little fun now in her 40s. She’s very responsible and pays her bills.
