Sometimes I feel like I'm a horrible person

I was reading this blog where they talked about goggling an ex just to see what they were up to, so I thought, why not?

So I goggled Lit (ok I admit, that wasn't the first time, I've goggled him before) and guess what I found out. He and his dad have the same name. I didn't know that. His father died back in May this year. I didn't know that either. Guess I didn't know him as well as I thought. It was sudden from the newspaper article's account. I met his Dad once and he seemed like a great person. His parents were happily married for 34 years. That's a long time.

I felt so sad for him. I wanted to call him. But then I thought, that would make me feel better but probably wouldn't do anything for him. If he wanted to talk to me about it, he would have told me. He didn't. So I don't think I should call him. I'm over him mostly but I still care about him and wish him well. I'm guess I'm just really sorry for him and his family. And I wish I could offer my condolences.

If I did call, how do I explain the way I found out...
...hi, so sorry to hear about your Dad...how did I find out?...oh I was just goggling you and...
Yeah not something I want to explain. Am I horrible or what?
