Am I overreacting?

[Neserit]

Okay, without going into too much detail, last year, I made friends with a photographer via the internet. He loved my art and we had long coversations online. I considered him a good friend and a mentor.

Okay, he was in his fourties and suffering from mental disorders and cancer. He killed himself in April and I'm still trying to get over that. I had this nagging feeling for a while that it wasn't true, but it looks like it is.

Well, I was dealing with it quite well until his daughter took over his site. I posted a welcome to her and told her how much I looked up to her father. I got this as a reply:

In his journals, writings and such I found some notes where he said that he wished that "both she (you) and I were single so that we could explore Bali like Bali shoud be explored". His writing also show a great RESPECT for your art. Just thought you would want to know.

Now, I've been upset since I read that. I can't exactly put my finger on why, however. One on hand, it feels like an invasion of privacy...on the other, I feel like ignored him...maybe not ignored him. But...I can't describe it. I'm also holding my breath and freaking out because over the next few months, his daughter will be posting more of her father's personal writings with all of his friends on a VERY public site. I'm afraid of what else he might have written.

Should I be reacting this badly to something like this? Am I right for being upset? Or should I just let it all go?

Based on the little information I have, I can understand your worry about personal things being posted on the website. However, it seems like the note from his daughter is intended as a compliment, unless there are other circumstances that might give subtext to it

based onm the same info, I'd have to agree with SDG. Sounds like she wanted you to know how her father felt.

I was afraid that I might have been flying off of the handle a bit.

The main concern that I have is that he did have a fiance when I was talking to him. I mean, she was aware that I did exist and we talked. I just don't want her to get the wrong idea about our friendship.

His daughter--who wrote that--was..estranged from him. She's just now knowing him through his journals.

The last part was a compliment, about him repecting my art. But that first part about wishing that we were both single....I'm jittery about that bit. I don't want his family to get the wrong idea. I'm a very private person and...well, that was just a little too close for my comfort.
