Somewhat sad but relevant story that yours reminded me of.
When I was 11 or 12, my dad passed. Well, I used to write him emails to his work email. I used that as a form to kind of get feelings off my chest.
I did this for years. Once a week or two. Well.. One year the email replied. I about had a heart attack.
"I'm so sorry that you're going through that. I lost my dad too. I'm guessing I got the job that your dad used to do, so they gave me his old email. Was he Tom? His memorial is here at the workplace. I'm going to ask the manager if he can provide me a new email so this one can be undisturbed. Hope life goes smoothly for you."
That guy could of been toxic and replied in the form of a prank, but he was very sincere. I stopped writing emails since that day, though.
Aww, that's not embarrassing at all, that's actually really sweet. And yeah, that was very kind of him to do.
