My Tomi – A Silent Friend Who Reads My Soul Through His Eyes
When we say “home,” most people think of rooms, windows, and furniture. But for me, a home breathes. And there’s a silent being who shares that breath with me – Tomi. He doesn’t speak, but he understands everything. He looks into my eyes as if to say, “Don’t be silent, I hear you.”
He’s not just a dog
People often ask, “Do you have a dog?” My answer is: “No, I have Tomi.”
He’s not just a pet. He’s the rhythm of my days, my moment of protection, the silence within a noisy world.
I remember the first time I met him – small, silky fur, alert little ears, and eyes full of emotion. His gaze seemed to say: “You chose me, but I had already chosen you.”
Eyes that speak in silence
His eyes… Oh, those eyes.
He looks straight into mine and reads everything within. I don’t say a word, and he understands. He feels my pain, my exhaustion, my joy, my anxiety – all of it.
Every time a storm brews inside me, Tomi quietly comes close, touches me with his little body, and lets me feel his calm breath. As if to say, “I’ve got some peace to share with you.”
The silent breath of my home
Tomi walks through the house, his tiny paws making the softest sounds. Early in the morning, I wake to his watchful gaze. That’s how the day begins.
When I return home, he’s the first to greet me – with joy, but without a sound. His presence gives life to the walls of my home.
Sometimes, no one speaks in the house. But Tomi is there. He looks at me, tilts his head, and even if I don’t want to talk, he hears the words inside me. I stay silent, he listens.
This is a bond that cannot be measured in numbers.
My days with Tomi
-
Morning: The first thing I do is greet Tomi. Our eyes meet – and that’s my sign the day will be good.
-
Afternoon: At mealtime, he sits quietly in a corner, never taking his eyes off me.
-
Evening: When I come home tired, his hug melts away the stress of the entire day.
-
Night: He gently strokes me with his little paws and prepares for sleep. Sometimes, before I fall asleep, I listen to his breathing. That breath is the most real music in my home.
He knows without words
Sometimes among people, you feel alone – like you’re in everything, yet not truly in anything.
In those moments, Tomi becomes part of my soul.
One glance means “you’re worried,” one bark says “be careful,” one touch means “I’m here.”
Without speaking, he speaks directly to my heart.
York – a proud and gentle friend
Tomi is a Yorkshire Terrier – small, delicate, yet carrying a heart full of strength and loyalty.
Many people look at his size and assume he’s just cute. But they’re wrong.
Inside him is a heart that dares to defy the world.
He protects. He feels. He lives – with me.
Conclusion: My Tomi – The Heart of My Home
Sometimes I think: if one day Tomi wasn’t here, what would this home’s breath feel like?
The silence wouldn’t be the same, because it was his presence that gave that silence meaning. His gaze gave soul to these rooms.
Now I understand: Tomi is a friend more powerful than words.
He’s loyal not just to me, but to my soul.
If you have someone like Tomi in your home, you are never truly alone.
Because some friends understand you not by talking, but by simply looking.
And that look – is worth everything.
