Ugly cried my face off : glee memorial episode

So I pvr'd the episode and am watching it now. I literally can't remember crying this much. I am sad for the character on the show and for the poor young man who couldn't overcome some very dark demons.

    I don't think flags should be at half mast. I am sad for the character, as in the plot line. I think the character deserves a memorial because they don't talk about what killed him.

    I obviously think the actor's family deserves whatever helps them grieve but I definitely don't think they should over glamorize his death when he was such a public figure. Impressionable youth could think that drugs are a glamorous death and they aren't.

    Exactly. My H told me the mayor of NJ flew the flag at half mast when Whitney Houston died. That's ridiculous.

    Seriously?!? That should be reserved for really important people. I love me some Whitney but what's the mayor going to do when someone dies heroically or a world leader etc...

    I thought the episode was well done and I also cried... And I'm not a regular viewer!

    I don't believe flags should be half mast for anyone except armed forces, police, and firefighters killed in the line of duty. Also national disasters / acts of terrorism. (9/11, Oklahoma bombing, etc).

    It was just a weird day here.  Watched Glee, lost it during the scene with Finn's mom, and then all this stuff with AP happened.  My best friend is tight with him, so it's weird.  I guess it was a son that not many people knew about, and that he wasn't close with, but still.  I spent all day snuggling my baby.

    The son was a "secret son" that AP apparently didn't even know about until somewhat recently.  He had no relationship with him at all, as far as I know.  That might explain why he is able to return to Minny and play.

    I just read the story about AP. They said he did leave to go see his son in the hospital but returned for practice Thursday before the boy died. He said he will be playing on sunday(they are not sure if he said it before he found out his son passed away though) because football helps him through the pain. 
    On one hand I think its ok for him to play. I know when I've had people pass away I have to do something to help me get through it. The world doesn't stop turning because someone passed away. Granted this was his child so that is why I'm kinda iffy on the matter. It is still 2 days away so he might decide not to play between now and then. After everything he has been through in life though it seems football has been his outlet for the pain.

    On the glee note after everything I've been reading I'm trying to decide whether to watch the memorial episode or not. I haven't really watched glee that much(couple episodes) so not sure if I would be confused with the story line.

    I broke down during the Rachel song as well, because I used to sing that song to LO when she lived in my tummy. So obviously I thought about what it would be like to lose a child and it was too much.

    So i only got to catch half of the episode and forgot to dvr, ( I'm not a regular viewer ) but did they give a reason for why Finn died. I know there was a lot of controversy on how they could have made it a lesson for teen viewers about drug and alcohol abuse but apparently they didnt.

    I haven't seen Glee for a while now either but I did watch it last night. I cried when Santana sang If I Die Young by the Band Perry, I think it hit home for me because it was played at my cousins memorial while a slide show of pictures were shown. He died of cancer 2 years ago today and was only 36. His mother died of cancer 3 weeks later. For the record cancer sucks.
