“Loving Tiara is the kind of memoir that both breaks your heart and fills it up with hope and inspiration. Tiffani Goff is a fierce and faithful mother who is determined to give her daughter a good life. Her story shows us how a family can overcome extraordinary obstacles, and how a mom can be a superhero.” Candi Sary, author of Black Crow White Lie

“Beautiful, raw, authentic, tragic, and an incredibly precious read…”

“This memoir, when once finished, there is no looking back. After having the privilege of being part of this family’s day-to-day life, I wanted my experience to be never-ending. This story rapidly became essential food for my soul, allowing me to savor every “bite” with each page. Tiara’s life is the thread of the memoir, however never do the others become blurred. This is truth, without excuses, explanations, or regrets. What a distinguished way to experience life on life’s terms. Thank you, Tiffani! I have never been able to have children, however, those three beautiful girls were mine as long as the story went on. Give yourself the gift of this read, it will be with you for a very long time.” Verified Amazon Customer, 12/10/2020

” Five stars isn’t enough!”

” Wow, definitely gives perspective to those caring for special needs children. Tiffani is the definition of sacrifice, dedication, and unconditional love while taking care of her daughter, Tiara. Thank you tiffani for sharing Tiara with us.” Verified Amazon Customer 12/30/2020

Prologue from Loving Tiara:

I can never find the quiet. I know that someday this will end and I will have plenty of quiet time, but right now I can’t imagine that being my reality. Someone always needs me.

Most days I just hope to survive until she falls asleep. I constantly ask God, the universe, whoever can hear my thoughts, to give me the strength to carry on. It’s the mantra that plays in my head all day long until she falls asleep at night, and then I say, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” with a huge sigh of relief. I survived another day.

I always wonder how I find the strength to keep going. Everyone in my family and inner circle are shocked that I keep doing what I’m doing. Some have begged me to stop, find another way, or have her placed outside the home, for they fear she will eventually kill me. I refuse to listen to them or entertain their suggestions, because I know in my heart, being her caretaker won’t last forever. I’m meant to be her caretaker for her entire life, and no one can stop me from doing otherwise.

I often wonder how I can love, more than life itself, the person who abuses me daily. Why do I crave her kisses, her bear hugs, and her contagious smiles, when I know she will suddenly lash out at me without any warning?

I would rather die taking care of her than give up on her. I am her mother, her voice, her strength her advocate, and her biggest fan. I am also a wife and a mother to my two other beautiful girls. They all need me to be strong, so they can pretend our lives are “normal.” Even when I feel like dying inside, I carry on, because that is who I am. This is the story of loving Tiara.

What’s wrong with my eyes?

Mar. 25, 2014

Well my Monday didn’t start off great.  I hardly slept the night before for several reasons, one of which was that Tiara kept getting out of bed and wandering the house.  Trinity had another bad dream and tried to make me sleep between her and Tiara.  I hate being sandwiched.  I moved to the couch…

Is the news really news anymore or just gossip?

Mar. 24, 2014

Every morning our family watches KTLA news while everyone is rushing around getting ready for the day.  I have never been a fan of the news because it is always so negative but since Lou loves watching the news I have adapted over the years.  I have always been a newspaper girl. Last Sunday I…

What I saw in a week…

Mar. 21, 2014

Do you ever see things during the day that make you shake you head and wonder, “what is going on here”?  Here are some things I have seen in the past few days that were either funny, ironic, perplexing, silly, confusing or just down right sad. I was driving down Newport Blvd today and heard…

She did it!

Mar. 20, 2014

Yes, Tiara survived her annual MRI at UCLA and she did great!   We left the house at 4:30am, and arrived at 5:30 am, just as planned.  The driving in the dark was the worst part for me, even though Tiara had a blast.  She sang and danced all the way their.  Once we checked in…

Have you started spring cleaning yet?

Mar. 18, 2014

Monday I woke up and decided I had to start spring cleaning because every drawer, closet and cabinet in our home was a disaster.  Once I got Trinity off to school and Tiara situated. I started pulling everything in my room away from the wall.  Because we don’t have carpets or any rugs dust seems…

Tiara, my lucky leprechuan…

Mar. 17, 2014

If you receive my posts via email in your inbox 5 days a week, I hope this post was there when you woke up this morning.  Once again I changed email companies and I have no idea if everything worked correctly.  Why did I change again?  First because lots of readers complained about how difficult…

Tiara’s got style!

Mar. 14, 2014

Tuesday night my Dad, Lou, TT and I were all sitting around talking about the difference in my mom and I’s clothing style.  Totally weird topic and I don’t remember how it  came up, but yes my Dad and were talking clothes, when Tiara suddenly jumped up from the couch and ran into her room. …

Who can we trust?

Mar. 13, 2014

All week I have been hearing about Jose Fernandez, the highest paid superintendent in the state of California and I am beyond disgusted!.  I am horrified that he received $663,000 in compensation last year and yet he only oversees 3 high schools with approximately 6600 students.  I read the conditions in some of the classrooms…

Is cutting back on my wine a good idea?

Mar. 11, 2014

I have been thinking lately that I need to cut down my nightly wine consumption.  The reason is, I am looking for time to focus on my writing.  Years ago I used to be one of those people that went to the gym at 5am and was home before the kids even woke up.  I…

My thoughts on medical marijuana and epilepsy

Mar. 09, 2014

Everyday I see this topic in the news, see it talked about on Facebook and/or actually receive inbox messages regarding it.  Some proponents of medical marijuana act like it is a cure for everything which I don’t believe.  What I do believe is that medical marijuana can significantly help some people with certain medical issues. …

Recent Interview

Who is tiffani?

Mom, Wife, author of Loving Tiara, retired home stager, and chronic volunteer. I laugh when I'm happy, nervous, or stressed, so basically, I'm always laughing, and you can hear me from down the block if the windows are open. I love to swear even though it isn't ladylike, and I'm brutally honest, but in a super nice way, or so I think? I tend to roll my eyes, and apparently, my face is very expressive because even when I don't open my mouth, everyone knows what I'm thinking. My hubby and I are homebodies; I'm obsessed with always doing the "right thing " and taking care of my skin. I love learning, am always trying to evolve as a human being, and am a bit of a perfectionist. Let's have some fun! xoxo tiffani
