well, ideally I want to die in my bed at 90 surrounded by children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, as well as young lovers (one of each sex =cough=) but I don't think it's going to happen.

One of the points of the article is that the close family support that people relied on in the past is no longer. Family grow apart with distance.

One of the things I remember hearing about Bill Clinton--and it doesn't matter whether you like him or not for this discussion--is that he was someone who nurtured and kept every friend he ever had since kindergarten. This impressed me, since I have let good friends slip away through neglect over the years.
