By Robert Leponge  [IMAGE](  I served as a British soldier for more than two decades. When I was discharged, I was physically fine but—as I realized later—mentally broken. Things I’d blocked out at the time now gave me nightmares, recurring nightmares. But I refused to accept help for another two decades. By then single and in my early 50s, my hobbies were drinking heavily at home until I fell asleep, waking up, and doing it again. The thought of ending everything crossed my mind—more than once. Then one day, my daughter Chantelle arrived, along with Dave, an old military friend. Chantelle spent the afternoon cleaning the house that I had let become a pit. Dave spoke gently with me for a long time. My daughter kissed me goodbye and left, promising to return soon. But Dave stayed. He made two coffees and he and I sat quietly on the back step in the warm, late afternoon. I relaxed. To have two people caring for me without my even asking for it was something I’d not felt in a long while. It felt good. Dave looked out at the three-feet-high grass and weeds in the back “Is that a garden?” he asked. I shrugged. “Well, I guess. I mean it used to be.” He told me about his life after his own breakdown, his ongoing fortnightly visits from a veterans’ psychologist, and how working in his garden had really helped him. “I’ll tell you what, Bob. I’ll come back tomorrow, and we can start cleaning up the garden. We’ll start slowly, just an hour or so. You’ll be surprised, gardening is great—and you’ll see instant results.” I agreed, but had no intention of doing anything of the sort. Gardening is for old people, I said to myself.
