Corey Feldman Memorial Letter To Corey Haim

Corey Feldman wrote and posted to his blog a letter in memory of his best friend, Corey Haim. The actors starred together in The Lost Boys and had stayed close friends from then until adulthood. Haim was buried this week, in a ceremony his mother insisted would be small and low-key. As such, Feldman was asked not to attend (Feldman instead began to put together a memorial, to which more people could attend). The “small” part wasn’t so true. The funeral took place in Toronto, March 16, and was attended by over 200 people. By all accounts it wasn’t too much of a media circus, so I guess that part held true.

Clearly saddened and still mourning, Feldman wrote a moving letter to Haim.

He writes, “This is for you on the day of your funeral. First off I am so sorry I am not there with you today. By that I mean my physical body is not with your physical body. However you know that my heart is right at your side. You also know the only reason I am truly not there is out of respect for your mother and her wishes to minimize the media attention as much as possible. I want your family to have a calm peaceful day… Just know I am at home today projecting positive energy for you and your passing.

[He continues, as though writing directly to Haim] “I miss you so much already. 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. I think about the new movies we will soon be doing together and then suddenly realize that the dream is over. I always feared this day would come, and often rehearsed how to face it. But once confronted with the reality of it, it’s so much more painful than I could have ever imagined… My heart is so broken and I know there are so many who feel the same way I do. We will remember your spirit and your fans will help me keep your legacy alive.”
