The sound of my 4-year-old son’s voice pierces my ears as I’m loading a 45-pack box of Goldfish into the back of my car in the Costco parking lot on another in a string of cold, gray winter days. He’s standing among the broken crackers and discarded toys in the back of our family SUV, but even with his fluorescent face mask on, I can tell he’s smiling as he waves.
