Hello:

It this "his caring for" standard?
It seems so, just wanted to make sure.

[Macon yearns to hear again his sister's, Pilate's, voice, so he goes
towards her house]

There was no music there, and tonight he wanted just a bit of music —
from the
person who had been his first caring for.

It makes me wince.  Obviously it's by analogy with "his first love," but
it just should never have been conceived much less birthed.
