Corey Feldman writes Corey Haim a 'letter for the grave'

Corey Feldman posted an open letter -- "a letter for the grave" -- to his pal Corey Haim on his blog yesterday, the day of Haim's funeral in Toronto.

Feldman tells Haim that the reason he didn't attend the  private service was "out of respect" for his family, particularly his mother, who wanted "to minimize the media attention as much as possible."

"I miss you so much already," Feldman writes.  "When I think of something funny I don't know who to tell it to. I find myself trying to call you but then remember your not there."

He also writes that no one understood him like Haim did.

"Nobody will ever understand the brotherhood we shared. Nobody will ever get the inside jokes we told. Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222. Nobody will ever know how to do the secret Corey handshake. Nobody will ever make me laugh as hard as you did. Nobody will ever make me fight as hard as you did. Nobody will ever challenge me the way you did. Nobody will ever need me the way you did."

Feldman reveals how "hounded" he's been by the media after Haim's death. Of course, no one forced Feldman to go on Larry King Live. But that's neither here nor there.

Mostly, he wishes Haim could see the overwhelming response to his death.

"I never knew your death would have such a huge impact on the world," he writes. "I wish you could see your face finally filling the cover of People magazine and Entertainment Weekly! That would have meant so much to you. It is such a shame they all had to wait until you were gone to give you the respect you were due as an actor which is what you truly were."
