“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.

The wife of a salesman…

Oct. 18, 2013

Ohhh, I forgot what it was like being the wife of a commission only sales consultant.  UGH! I now remember why I was so happy when he finally became a manager fourteen years ago.  When you are a manager you make a percentage of everything sold, so even if the dealership has a slow month…

His last day and a new beginning…

Oct. 15, 2013

Today is my hubby’s last day of selling Mercedes-Benz vehicles.  For the past 18 years (with the exception of a 6 month stint at a BMW dealership) Lou has been selling Mercedes-Benz cars in some capacity.  He has been a salesman, a  trainer and a manager for fourteen of the 18 years .  Most everyone…

Enough is Enough …

Oct. 14, 2013

Today I am posting about something that affects everyone in our society.  This topic touches everyone who has a child, grandchild, niece or nephew.  What am I talking about and why:  The rising epidemic of drug overdoses among our children. Last week I received this email from a friend who is a Emergency room physician…

Do you decorate spooky or sweet?

Oct. 11, 2013

Do you decorate scary for Halloween or make a cute fall display with hay, smiling jack-o-lanterns and gourds?  I use to do the latter but a few years ago I got tired of the “perfect” Martha Stewart fall look with the stacked Cinderella pumpkins, and so I switched to scary decorations.  The switch didn’t cost…

We found it!

Oct. 09, 2013

Yes, we finally found my phone once Lou got home from work last night.  I showed him the spot in question and he said it wasn’t stuck in the ivy but over the fence.  Thank goodness. He walked over to the neighbor’s but she wasn’t so he called her and left her a voicemail.  I…

I’m on the case…

Oct. 08, 2013

I am sure you are so tired of hearing about me and my missing iphone but since I spent a fair amount of the day in search of it, I must tell you the details. When I woke up this morning and realized that neither, Tabitha, Trinity or I thought about using the lost phone…

You’re so pretty!

Oct. 07, 2013

This is Lou’s favorite thing to say to all his girls.  The funny thing is that if Tiara is in earshot of any compliment given to anyone but her, she immediately jumps to attention, pats her own chest  and says “me, me!”  This morning Lou and I were standing in the kitchen watching Tiara eat…

I can be so ungracious….

Oct. 04, 2013

  So we made the trip to UCLA to see Tiara’s neuro-psychiatrist and like I thought she didn’t have a great deal to offer.  The good news is that when I was talking to her and discussing what has been going on we both came to the conclusion that Tiara is either toxic from her…

When all else fails, sing!

Oct. 03, 2013

My life with Tiara has been so difficult lately that I haven’t tried taking her for a walk in the morning for the past 5 days.  Each morning I think about going and then she starts acting bad and I realize I don’t have the strength to fight her and then push her for 4…

She finally got my face!

Oct. 02, 2013

I know I have mentioned on several occasions that keeping my face free of scratches is big on my list of priorities.  Vain, yes I am.  I put a lot of effort into caring for my skin and the last thing I need is a bunch of scars on my face. The rest of my…

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
