“There are so many people that love you and think you’re the coolest kid there is— me being one of them!” he continued. “I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’re going to accomplish.”

Rudd signed the letter “your pal,” and his mom says the two even FaceTimed and have been exchanging text messages.
