“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.

This whole thing sucks!

Jan. 24, 2014

Not really in the mood to blog but I know so many of you care about Tiara, so here is the update. Just met with the doctors for rounds and they said her lungs are almost whited out like last March and she is getting sicker. They would like to intubate her now but will…

In the ICU again…

Jan. 22, 2014

As you all know I’ve mentioned Tiara was getting sick but she was holding her own. All day Tuesday she was fine until he went to pick up Trinity at school. We are waiting in the pick up line for Trinity when all of a sudden she started wheezing. She never wheezes! I got super…

A day of destruction….

Jan. 22, 2014

Yesterday while Tiara was lounging around the house trying not to get sicker, she managed to break 3 major items, all of which I love. The first was a big tall vintage blue vase that sits on my TV console along with 2 others.  To be honest it is a miracle they have been there…

I’m half done!

Jan. 21, 2014

As you can see I decided to change my blog theme today, but I am not totally done.  To be honest, I am far from done, but it was pretty painless which is beyond exciting.  Total miracle.  I realized how much I have learned in the past 2 years as I start this transition today. …

It cost more, but was it worth it?

Jan. 20, 2014

Do you ever wonder if the more expensive product is really that much better than the cheaper/generic version?  Since I am always on a budget, I don’t really spend on expensive products except for my face.  In my opinion there is no way a drug store cream could be as good as one from the…

She did it!

Jan. 17, 2014

Sorry for my lapse in posting yesterday but I was too grumpy, anxious and irritable to write anything decent.  I was feeling very uncreative and not passionate about anything except complaining.  I hate when I start complaining.  It feels so bad to be so negative. I kept telling Lou paperwork was getting the best of…

Do people really like this weather?

Jan. 15, 2014

I hate to complain when people on the east coast just dealt with the “polar vortex” issue but really, I HATE  the SANTA ANA WINDS.  I have hated them my whole life, and nothing has changed. As a child I  always remember them showing up during the first week of school.  I would be excited…

What’s wrong with my Nook?

Jan. 14, 2014

I forgot to mention the issue with my Nook yesterday.  I had a Nook which is my only form of reading anything because Tiara cuts up every book and magazine in her path and I lost it during Christmas break.   It was really old and rather outdated but it worked fine.  It was Trinity’s and…

What I haven’t shared lately….

Jan. 13, 2014

For some reason, I have been doing tons of things at home and dealing with lots of issues, of which I haven’t shared with you. The first being is that I have come to the realization Trinity needs some testing to determine if she has a learning disability.   School life shouldn’t be this hard for…

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
