'Glee' has been back for a couple weeks now with episodes celebrating the music of The Beatles.

Next week is the much anticipated tribute episode to Cory Monteith and his character Finn Hudson.

At the end of this week's episode they showed the promo and I just turned into a blob of tears.

While I knew the news of Cory Monteith's death had struck me when I first heard about it, I didn't realize how much.  I know I don't actually know Cory Monteith, but I was really rooting for him.

When 'Glee' became the huge success that it is, he was open about struggling with addiction in his past and how he was trying his best every day to stay on the wagon.

When the news broke that he died, I hoped and prayed that it wasn't drugs.  A death so young, no matter the circumstance is tragic, but I just didn't want his name to lumped with other celebrity deaths due to drugs.  But sadly, it was drugs.

I know next week's episode will make me cry and probably bring ratings for the show, but I hope for the sake of Cory's friends, family, and fans and the cast members of 'Glee' that the show brings some closure.
