"last innocent days"

Hi all,

Can anyone help me understand the exact meaning of "last innocent days" in the following sentence "The workings of fate had him retire from Missouri in 1985, move to New Mexico with his wife, lose her to early death, remarry to a home economics teacher and finally, in the last innocent days of early September 2001, move with her to North Carolina to help care for a grandchild with cerebral palsy"

Thank for your help in advance!

Best,

Chang Won

Scw72 Can anyone help me understand the exact meaning of " last innocent days " in the following sentence It's clearly a reference to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 although I'm at a loss to explain why the author would include such a reference in this particular blog entry. It seems entirely gratuitous.
