If you go to heaven, you'd probably want your grandmother to be the kindly old lady you remember. Her own grandmother might want her to be the little kid she remembered bouncing on her knee. She, herself, might want to be the 20 year old who was full of energy and beautiful. Is 20-year-old you going to curl up on 20-year-old grandma's lap while she reads you a story?

The only way to really solve that is that heaven is basically being extremely high, so your "brain" is sending out happy chemicals and you don't care at all about anything else.

But, "I can't wait to get to heaven so I can be high as balls 24/7" doesn't sound as wholesome as "I can't wait to get to heaven so I can see grandma again".

They've got forever, mix it up! I'd be a little kid every once in a while if it made my grandmother happier. And knowing that she's partying in San Junipero the rest of the time wouldn't bother me.
