“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.

Two year blog anniversary

Feb. 18, 2014

My life has been hectic lately and I just realized it has been 2 years this week since I started writing my blog.  Two years and over 500 posts.  Wow, I can’t believe I have made it this long. I also realized I haven’t started organizing our taxes and I always turn them into our…

And she is finally doing better…..

Feb. 17, 2014

Before I tell you about Tiara, we have to talk about Valentine’s Day again.  Sorry.  Well as you remember I mentioned I wasn’t doing anything and Tabitha sighed in response to my comment.  Well, I now know why she sighed.  I guess she thought it was her responsibility to do something if neither Lou nor…

Is today Valentine’s day?

Feb. 14, 2014

I have turned into a full bah humbug this Valentine’s Day.  Every year I make homemade cards for my family and bake a yellow heart shaped cake with chocolate frosting, but this year, I’ve got nothing.  Aside from the fact that I am exhausted and worried about Tiara, I just have no desire to take…

Still stressed….

Feb. 12, 2014

Well, I am writing this on Tuesday night and nothing much has changed.  I am still a bundle of nerves and something is still wrong with Tiara, yet I don’t know what it is.  I took her to the doctors on Monday and they spoke to Nephrology and ordered stat blood work.  The blood work…

Her kidneys still aren’t behaving themselves!

Feb. 10, 2014

I pretty much did nothing this weekend except worry about Tiara and take care of her.  Tiara has been very quiet and seems to being having lots of seizures.  I kept meaning to email her neurologist to see if she thought we should increase her medications while she is still recovering and I finally got…

Feeling a little overwhelmed…..

Feb. 07, 2014

I haven’t written a post or gone on Facebook since we got home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon.  Why?  Yes, I still love you all, but taking care of Tiara at home is a huge job. I was so happy to get home, I almost forgot how hard it is after a long hospital…

Good news!

Feb. 04, 2014

I skipped my Monday post as I was a total basket case. I don’t really want to relive what happened Sunday night but here is the reader’s digest version. After not sleeping for 25 hours the nurse thought it would be a great idea to wake up Tiara at 2am and make her cough. I…

25 hours without sleep!

Feb. 02, 2014

As I write this it is Sunday afternoon and we just woke up from a 2 hour nap. A nap, how nice they must be catching up on their sleep. Well, we are not exactly all caught up since Tiara did not sleep for 25 hours!!!! No I’m not kidding! This has never ever happened…

Tiara update 1/29/14

Jan. 29, 2014

I know I said I was going to take a few days off from posting but I changed my mind. I just wanted to reflect on the dinner I had last night. Every Tuesday a free dinner is provided for the families who have children in the icu. The dinner is donated by a restaurant,…

Tiara update 1/27/14

Jan. 27, 2014

Today hasn’t gone as well as expected. Before rounds last night Tiara spiked a fever and they said she couldn’t have Motrin because of her kidney issues and the blood thinners. This really upset me because Tylenol does nothing to help her fevers. Then the docs decided she didn’t need her lasix drip any more,…

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
