It's slightly different but I found my fathers flight log books after he passed away last year, they detail every flight he made through his entire military career. I can look back and see he was home for my 1st birthday or for Christmas 1984 he was in Cypress. Something I'd never thought of but they're in a fireproof safe now.
It sounds like a good idea but one of those things better done by a family member, someone else might miss the importance of certain areas. At the very least it should be someone who knew the person during life, they'd be able to give it the correct tone and feel to the words.
