“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.

“Your daughter is so beautiful”…

Aug. 29, 2013

The other day I walked into my favorite beauty supply to grab some quick dry for my nails.  I was really in the mood to get a manicure and pedicure but knew I shouldn’t spend the money so instead I went and bought the quick dry drops, so I had a hope of nails lasting…

Craig’s list scam…

Aug. 28, 2013

Tuesday I came home from doing some errands and found a priority express letter on my hall tree.  It was addressed to me with my name spelled properly, which is rather unusual, so I opened it.  There in the envelope was a check made out to me for $1,450!  I stared at it and then…

It was a blast!

Aug. 27, 2013

We had the TS Alliance Southern California picnic on Sunday and it was tons of fun.  So much so that I was too tired to write my post for Monday.  So here is the weekend update. Saturday we had an open house from 2 to 5 and when I got home, I flopped down on…

The picnic is this Sunday…

Aug. 23, 2013

This Sunday is our annual Southern California Tuberous Sclerosis picnic so I spent all of Thursday getting ready.  In the past we used the park BBQ’s and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs but last year I ordered Subway sandwiches.  The sandwiches were way easier, but tasted  boring.  This year I decided that the BBQ stressed…

My phone is broken again!

Every time I have tried to talk on my phone for the past 2 days all the call fail in the middle of my conversation.  Super frustrating.  I call them back and then the same thing happens over again. I was having issues with it earlier in the month and I made an appointment at…

I did it!

Aug. 16, 2013

I feel like Tiara when I make that statement, “I did it, I did it!”   Yesterday that guy made me so mad when he offered me $150 for all my stuff, I felt personally challenged.  I should call him and thank him because as of right now I am $255 dollars richer and I…

8 hour garage clean out!

Aug. 15, 2013

So I am beyond exhausted since I have spent the entire day in the garage cleaning.  I had been planning a big clean out when we moved but since we haven’t sold our home yet I decided I had to deal with it now.  We are having an open house on Saturday and I thought…

My little escape artist….

Aug. 14, 2013

I am pretty sure I have mentioned before that Tiara “elopes” from the house when given the chance.  I call it escaping but in the special needs community, “eloping” is the proper term, nevertheless they both mean the same thing, Tiara is on the run.  Years ago she would constantly try and escape to find…

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
