Outside my window, it is still summer, but a different sound means that is about to change. Whistles blow. Players cheer as they get ready for another Pop Warner football season.

I never have to get out of my chair or even look out. The sounds tell me what is happening. I can also close my eyes and remember a different time in my life. I was 11. My dad was trapped in traffic leaving work in Boston for our home in the suburbs. …
