Same dude. Trying to put emotion behind this script is tough, cause we're supposed to be reserved and reminiscing. While it's supposed to be heartwarming too, finding the right spots to put emphasis on is hard. Like where should the emotion come out? Your read is very solid regardless, if you want to do it again, go for it. I totally think you could add more emotion too! Forget the whole reminisce stuff and just say it like you would tell a heartwarming story to someone you cared about. I'd be totally down to hear it.

So, this is an interesting read for sure but not a bad one, I understand where you're coming from, but you have to make this script work for you, heartfelt doesn't have to be sad. This read didn't feel as genuine as it could, so I want you to aim for that. Overall, the presence is still here, just gotta build around it. Good job
