In some sense there is a message behind this message of someone who desires to be loved and cared for. King Solomon says this,
When I was young I was working in a nursing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We had a cantankerous old man in the nursing home. Each day when this pretty young nurse (actually a nurse's aid) would come in, she would give this old man a kiss on the lips. This settled him right down.

The Bible tells us,
Even this 30 year old computer and printer I am using today is saying, "Will it be you or me that is going first?" Youth is gone, pleasures of life are gone, strength is gone.

I thought it was interesting that God gave King David a young virgin wife to comfort and keep him warm in his old age, although he had no sexual relationship with her. Lets read about it:
As we age our need for love is still strong, but it changes from season to season: from physical, emotional, companionship, to care taker and then death.

There is "a time to be born and a time to die" (Ecclesiastes 3:2), but you will not know this until you have walked the path of life and into the doorway of death. I had an older gentleman send me an email stating that if you took the world's population and averaged the longevity of life, that it would be only around 61. The gentleman was in his eighties that sent me this email. I wrote back and said, "It sounds like we need to prepare ourselves to meet God." Have you prepared your heart to meet the Lord?
