A memory worth telling
Take us back to a moment you shared with Bill. Where were you? What happened? Why has it stayed with you?
A SURPRISE CELEBRATION · MADE WITH LOVE
75 years.
A lifetime of stories.
One very special Bill.
Some of the best parts of a person’s life live in the memories of the people who love them. For Bill’s 75th birthday, we’re bringing those memories together.

The adventures. The people. The memories.
THE STORIES. THE LAUGHTER. THE LITTLE THINGS ONLY YOU REMEMBER.
YOUR PART IN THE SURPRISEA little of your time.
A little of your time.
A gift he’ll keep.
We’re making a birthday film filled with stories from Bill’s friends and family, and we’d love yours to be part of it.
Before you record, jot down a few thoughts using the three prompts below. Then tell him in your own words. It doesn’t need to be polished. It just needs to be you.
With love and thanks,
Emily & family
Something only Bill brings
Tell him about a quality you love in him, and a small example that shows it.
“That’s so Bill.”
A song, saying, place, food, habit, or little detail that will always make you think of him.
LIGHTS. CAMERA. JUST BE YOURSELF.Turn your phone sideways.
Turn your phone sideways.
Tell him what matters.
- Aim for 1–2 minutes. Start with your name and how you know Bill.
- Record horizontally. Prop your phone up at eye level, with light facing you.
- Choose a quiet spot. Skip music, filters, and editing. Emily will put it all together.
- Finish with a birthday wish. Leave a little pause before and after speaking.
