ARIZONA, USA — Valentine's Day isn't the only occasion this Friday — it's also Arizona's 113th birthday! President Howard Taft admitted Arizona to the United States back on Feb. 14, 1912, as the 48th state in the union after a long journey to statehood.

There are straightforward options like, “To my dearest mom, on your special day: Happy birthday!” and “You’re simply the best.” Other thoughtful messages might extend a little longer, such as, “The warmth of the sun cannot compare to the love I feel in your embrace” or “If you ask me if angels walk among us, I’ll introduce you to my mom.”
