I was about to get into the shower to get ready to fly home when my sister told me about the news of the first plane. I came downstairs and watched the morning news with her and her month old son (the reason I had come to visit). I was sure it had been a small plane. Then the second plane hit. That was when I turned to her and said "The world just changed." I wondered how the world would be different for my nephew than it had been for me.
Terrorism had always been something that happened overseas. Now I think we have again become too complacent. There are evil people in the world. There always have been and I am sure that there always will be. There is no completely safe haven.
