If you’ve ever lost a pet, you know how devastating it can be to say goodbye to a soul that has essentially become your family. It’s hard to explain the love you have and the love you feel from animals but it’s a special bond and it hurts to lose that. I know my childhood dog passed when I was 18-years-old and at 29, 11 years still look for him when I come home.

Actress Taraji P. Henson is experiencing this now in the loss of her 16-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, Uncle Willie.

She shared this post about his passing on her Instagram page.

Shortly after that, her fans started compiling some very sweet tribute posts for Uncle Willie. The actress has reposted a few on her page.
