Joachim had asked his dad if he knew what happened three days later. Joachim, the eldest son, recalled at the memorial service how he had read through the Passion narrative on Good Friday, reminding his father of that central and pivotal story, at which his father just shook his head and remarked what a sad and terrible event the crucifixion was. In his final months, the father had suffered from dementia and had difficulty remembering things, including the Bible stories that had informed his faith from childhood. I recently attended the funeral of the elderly father of a close friend, Joachim.
