Tia Mowry isn’t letting her battle with endometriosis stand in the way of her happiness. The Sister, Sister actress, who recently revealed she lost 20 pounds revamping her diet to combat the disease, is instead focusing on the biggest blessing in her life, her son Cree Hardrict. In a sweet Instagram post, Tia wrote an emotional birthday letter to her son, who turned six yesterday. Tia has previously been candid about her struggle to get pregnant, which her disease makes “a little bit of a challenge,” she told People magazine. Despite her fertility struggles, Tia credits Cree with being the source of strength that keeps her going.
“Today was the day you changed my life forever. It's the day I became your mother. Happy Birthday my loved one,” Tia wrote beneath a photo of her cradling Cree as a newborn.
“You've given me so much joy, purpose, and strength,” she continued. “The love between a son and a mother is so profound, unconditional and infinite. I am so blessed to be your mother. I love you Cree.”

Since being diagnosed with endometriosis in 2006, Tia has revamped her diet to focus on eating healthy, unprocessed foods that help ease the symptoms. She’s even published a cookbook, Whole New You, where she shares her recipes and tips for clean eating.
