“Lea Michele cries during her emotional tribute for Cory Monteith with the ‘Glee’ cast at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards.” – YT

There were very few dry eyes after Lea Michele made her beautiful tribute to her co-star, friend and fiance: Cor Monteith.

Like many people, I think she is showing incredible strength to show up to not only show up in public but make a speech so soon after such a life-changing event.

I really, really feel for her – though we’ll never know each other, really – and I hope she regards this as a first step into whatever normalcy she can get after losing Cory.
