“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.

Being me can be difficult….

Nov. 15, 2013

I was having a great day and then someone texted me something and my entire mood changed.  I instantly felt BLAH, BLUE, CRAPPY, SAD, IRRITATED, FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY all at once.  I  kept telling myself “no one can make you feel bad about yourself, only you can do that Tiffani.” Giving myself therapy didn’t work. …

What would Tiffani do?

Nov. 14, 2013

I used to write a series “What would Tiffani do? and loved it but the questions stopped coming in.  Well, a friend sent me a question yesterday, so lucky me I get help.  Love doing these. Hi Tiffani, Here is my dilemma. It’s all about MY baby cradle that was given to me by my…

Hmmm, “where did Mom go?”

Nov. 13, 2013

Let’s start with talking about what happened to my will power when Trinity’s friend arrived at our home for a sleepover and brought with her over a dozen treats from the Corner Bakery as a hostess gift.  Well it hasn’t been pretty.  When I saw her walking up with the 3 mini bundt cakes, 2…

Something I can’t stop thinking about…

Nov. 12, 2013

So often I see something happen in society and then I can’t get it out of my heart and mind for days and sometimes even weeks at a time.  This is one of those times.  I saw this unfold about 2 weeks ago and I continue to see this scene in my mind at least…

Why am I so fickle?

Nov. 11, 2013

Do you know people who can never make up their minds about anything?   Well, I have never been one of those people.  I usually make all my decisions big or small very quickly.  Like the time I decided to enroll in law school after thinking about it for a few minutes.  I never discussed it…

Time to say good-bye…

Oct. 28, 2013

After my post last week, “why isn’t anyone helping me”  I received many different comments and words of support from readers, but so did other members of my family.  People in our community contacted my family members to check on me.  Friends contacted friends all with worry about me.  Through this process, I have been…

Why isn’t anyone helping me?

Oct. 24, 2013

Wednesday morning Tiara and I drove Trinity to school and on our way home Tiara was holding my hand.  She started sinking her nails into my skin and I pulled my hand away and said “stop, don’t hurt Mommy.”  She then grabbed my hand again as I was turning onto our street and once again…

Hmmmm. what else could break?

Oct. 23, 2013

As you all know Tiara is very rough on everything, especially furniture and screens.  At this exact moment I have three windows without screens, compliments of Tiara attempting to escape out of them and I have 3 broken chairs.  Not to mention the drinking glasses, plates, picture frames, vases, end tables, televisions, dvr players and…

Why do I always do this?

Oct. 22, 2013

  As you can see from the picture Tiara and I are wearing matching outfits.  I do this almost everyday without even thinking about it.  I get dressed and then I pick out her clothes.  I guess I just put her in the same stuff I am in the mood to wear, so we end…

Is it bedtime yet?

Oct. 21, 2013

I have been waiting for bedtime since 2:00 this afternoon and I still have 7 hours to go.  UGH!  I am writing this on Saturday afternoon and am so over my weekend I wish it was Monday.  I know I have said it before but weekends are treacherous for me.  No schedule, no routine, a…

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
