Persephone

In Greek Mythology, Persephone was the daughter of Mother Nature (Demeter).  Persephone fell in love with and married Hades.  This made Mother Nature very sad because she didn't like the idea of losing her daughter to live in hell.  They came up with a compromise.  Persephone would live with her husband half of the year and the other half with her mother.  In the fall, Persephone must join her husband in the underworld.  Mother Nature starts to cry and things begin to die.  In the spring, Persephone rejoins her mother, thus things start to come alive as Mother Nature becomes happy again.  Tomorrow is the first day of Spring so Persephone needs to hurry back to her mother.
