Cute And Cozy
For Valentine’s Day, Lena wrote Alana the sweetest love note by saying, “I don’t believe in Cupid. I believe in God. And I’m grateful to Him for making her in His image. Valentine isn’t a strong enough word to describe her. But on Valentine’s Day, I’m reminded to cherish her. For all that she is. And all that she’ll become. #happyvday.” Aww!
