Creating your book
Follow these steps to create heartfelt, memorable responses that celebrate your loved-one.
1
Recall the Scene
​Close your eyes and picture the moment—where you were, who was there, and what was happening.
2
Add Vivid Details
​Describe what you saw, heard, or felt to bring the memory to life. Think of your 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste). What was significant?
3
Share from the Heart
A short, genuine answer can be just as powerful as a longer one, if it’s well thought out. Think about what message you want the reader to understand.
4
Ask Yourself:
· Who else was involved?
· What made this moment special?
· When and where did it happen?
· How did it make you feel?
· Why do you still remember it?
5
Review Before Saving
Read your answer out loud to ensure it clearly reflects the memory you want to share.
6
If You Get Stuck, Come Back
​Taking some time to close the computer and come back to it when you’ve cleared your mind can be a game changer.
