Do you worry about your adult kids ?

I’m 64 - two sons (30) and (26). I’m single - divorced their dad in 2004 and never remarried. Had a long term relationship for 8 years but have been single since I was 50.
Anyways - worry.
My sons are healthy, have good jobs, live independently and I see them often. We are a close family and there are no dramas - just lots of love.
But I always have this horrible nagging worry that something will happen to them and I can’t protect them.
Last year my eldest was assaulted and badly injured in Europe. He spent a week in hospital and has damaged eyesight as a result. It was like my fears were realised .
I’ve always been a worrier even as a little kid.
I take anti depressants and have a good doctor who knows my history.
Anyway just reaching out to see if I’m crazy or does anyone else worry about their adult kids ?
