It's pretty wild to imagine 30 years of life after the age of 70. I bet your Gran has had a lot of time to think on things. I would like to think that the petty worries that consume so much of my current life fall away as I get older, but perhaps we just trade some worries for others.
(also it sounds like you've been benighted by the Rick Riordan train -- all of 2024 my children were greek mythology obsessed because of those Percy Jackson books)
Indeed, Percy Jackson among others. But it all began with Mary Pope Osborne's Tales from the Odyssey series which they read at school and then performed as a play. Great books, your kids would probably enjoy them.
My Gran definitely has her own set of worries all relative to her reality. For us when we're older, who can imagine? We'll probably have robots that care for us that will have learnt exactly how we like our food to be made, and how to help us clean ourselves etc... But what will the environment look like? Will our kids be safe and financially secure? Some of the worries we have today will always be there. Others will be shaped by the world we live in. -Tom
