2:22 followed me around like a puppy leading up to my journey to England from the United States, just one week ago today. One week and one day, if we’re counting the two-day journey that included road tripping with a yellow Labrador Retriever, and a turbulence filled sleep deprived over 7 hour flight.

2:22 was the time I’d awaken in what used to be my bed, night after night. I would joke that my body was getting me on GMT in preparation, but it was more than that. It was simultaneously comforting and disturbing. Disturbing in its insistence, comforting in the meaning. How do I mean, “meaning”?

I’ve mentioned Angel Numbers briefly, but it’s worth delving into as their population in my life since Charlie’s passing has been more than simply noteworthy, as I’m literally noting them here. Angel Numbers are the repetition of any three numbers in a row and each have their own meaning in our lives, according to numerology.

For example, my trusty Google AI tells us, “222 is a reminder to focus on your own well-being, trust your inner voice, and be open to new opportunities. It’s a message of hope and encouragement from your guardian angels.” If one were to put stock into it, it’s as if Charlie is saying, ‘You’ve got this, Schmoop. I’ve got you. I’m still with you. My spirit will always be with you. No matter where you are in this world.’

“No matter where you are in this world” instantly brought tears to my eyes as my fingers tapped on the keys. Because I am now thousands of miles away geographically to a life I’ve known and that can be deeply unsettling at times. But also because the Angel Numbers have followed me across the Atlantic, to accompany me during a time of overwhelming change.

In just this week I’ve continued to notice 2:22, and some of their associates; 1:11, 4:44 and 5:55. I’ll not delve into the deeper meaning for each that numerology espouses, but suffice it to say that it’s brought me much comfort as I am on a path to becoming a spouse again. Like I have his blessing. Like he wants me to not only be happy, of course he does, but that even though I’m building a life with someone new, he’s still with me.

He’s still with me & always will be. Certainly at 2:22, but not only then.

2:22, I see you.
