April Showers

In honor of my dear former coworker who passed away yesterday morning, I'm going to make today's prompt be about April showers, about loss and a sense of renewal, about cleansing the pain from said loss while embracing the joy that can still be found in life. Share with us a scene, poem, paragraph, or what you like in honor of April Showers. Bonus Kudos points go out today to everyone who posts something.
