I was saddened and completely shocked when I received two text messages last night around midnight informing me that Cory Monteith had died earlier that day of a likely drug overdose. There honestly are not even words to describe what I felt. This 31 year old was not only an amazing actor and singer, but such a wonderful person as well. I literally could not believe it.
Cory Monteith starred as Finn Hudson in Glee. Finn is my favorite character in Glee after Lea Michele's character, Rachel. Cory and Lea have been dating for awhile now, I think over a year, and were supposed to be getting married in the near future. I can't even imagine what Lea is thinking or feeling right now, as well as his family and friends. Celebrity deaths are always very publicized and sad, but this one hit me especially hard, I think mostly because of how young he was.
I ask you all to pray for him, Lea, his family, and friends. Not only for them, but for all victims of addiction. So incredibly sad how many lives addiction cuts short. I will remember Cory every time I listen to my Glee albums and hear his voice. Rest in peace.
This is very sad and totally unexpected.
ReplyDeleteI know it's so sad I can't get over it.
DeleteThis has hit me SO hard, too. I can't focus on anything right now. :( Part of me wants to watch old Glee episodes, but I'm not sure I can yet. He was just so young. </3
ReplyDeleteI seriously just cannot even believe it's real STILL. I can't watch the episodes yet. I was listening to Glee yesterday while I was studying and I had to stop because it was making me cry .. like Lea singing "I Was Here" and Cory singing "I'll Stand By You" I was like no, can't do this right now. ;(
DeleteThe fact that everyone is pointing out that Cory's first AND last performance on glee was "Don't Stop Believing"...I can't. And his last episode was called "Sweet Dreams." :( I still can't stop thinking about him.
Delete;( I can't either. It is honestly just so tragic. Like, how on Earth is Lea going to be able to like go back to Glee? I can't even imagine what she is going through! & his parents :( I heard that I guess his mom was telling him he shouldn't have met up or hung around with his Canada "friends" she didn't think it was a good idea but he told her he'd be fine. What JERKS like honestly some friends :(
