I Have A Thing With 6s and 9s

My attempt to determine what the numbers mean

It all began when my marriage unraveled. Or at least that’s when I started noticing them.

The 6s and 9s.

Combinations of these two numbers popped up everywhere. On billboards. Highway markers. Clocks. License plates. Especially license plates. It seemed bizarre that so many license plates had a combination of 6 and 9 on them.

I wasn’t sure what to make of them so I took the sighting as odd coincidences. But there are no coincidences, right?

The frequency of spotting these two numbers together kept ramping up. It hit an all-time high when my soon-to-be ex-husband and I drove to what would be our last couples therapy session together. I saw this combo 25 times.

It’s only a 20-minute drive.

Something or someone wanted to get my attention.

I’d heard about angel numbers so I googled the meaning of 6 and 9. The 9 made complete sense. It signifies endings or completions. My marriage certainly fit that. The meaning of 6 made sense too, as it represents family and communication. I ascertained that seeing these numbers together marked the end of my marriage and my family as I knew it.
