Gordie: Pulling it all together 2

[Gordie]

So looking for some advice. So my W and I are working our way through our D settlement and an issue has come up that I haven't thought about: holidays.

My W's mindset is that we will still have lots of family time together post-D...family dinners, birthdays together, holidays together, vacations, etc. She says D doesn't mean the end of our family (silly Gordie)...and she says it with all sincerity like she really means it...what is going on?

Is this fantasy? cake eating? How should I be thinking about this/responding? As of now, I told my W I need more time to think about it...and suspect she'll ask me about it again this weekend...
