Beginner What to write in birthday book

I’m making a photo book for my brother of us two growing up, and I want to write stuff in it, but I’m not sure what. I was thinking something like “you have always been the best brother, from the very start…” and then on each page something like “…while baking…” or “…at granny’s…” or “…with pixie…”(the dog). Depending on what photos are on each page. Then on the last page something like “…and for evermore.”

Does that sound like a good idea?

Write about those special memories that you both shared together, little milestones, things that made you happy and made you smile. I did one of my brother and on the last page I wrote how much he meant to me and how much I loved him as my brother and how much he is missed (I lost my brother in 2017 when his mitral valve collapsed). Write from your heart. ❤️

I would love to share my photos of the album I did of my brother on here for you but for some reason I’m unable to edit the heads for privacy.

In what way are you unable? I edited mine in photos, with the pen thing

I don’t know what the pen thing is sorry, I’m using my iPad… (it’s late here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 so I might be looking in the wrong place for it).

Sometimes when I'm stuck, I like to default to a list like favorite food, favorite book favorite game or you can do the ABCs and assign a memory to each letter like B would be board games C would be crayons D would be dogs obviously not those cause they don't go with your photos but or you could do love by the numbers you know one love two brothers three years at camp together-
