“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 wheel fell off!

Jul. 25, 2013

Tuesday morning Trinity, Tiara and I made a Costco run.  I have been able to avoid Costco for months but since we started this new health program we go through so much meat, poultry and cheese it is worth the hassle of dragging all the kids with me because we save so much money. Since…

An almost Wordless Wednesday …..

Jul. 24, 2013

I have never done a Wordless Wednesday post before, so I am giving it a try.  It appears I have already failed since I can’t help but write a little bit.  Here is what our day looked like on Monday.                 Last but not least, we added a…

Two cavities and now another visit to the hospital…

Jul. 23, 2013

Last Thursday I took Tiara for her regular teeth cleaning only to learn she had developed 2 cavities.  Both in the very back of her bottom teeth, one of each side.  You may not think this is such a big deal, but it is a huge deal! The last time Tiara had a cavity was…

Wow, what a weekend!

Jul. 22, 2013

It is Sunday morning at 8:15 am and I just woke up, made my coffee and sat down to the computer.  Everyone in my house is still asleep!!!!  I am pretty sure in my 20 years of being a mother to early risers I have never experienced a moment like this. I can’t remember the…

The fair and my palm reading

Jul. 19, 2013

Thursday morning I woke up at 4am again and couldn’t get back to sleep.  So once again I got up and started getting stuff done.  Mostly preparing all our food for the day, which takes more time than I could have ever anticipated but it seems to be working and helping so I am really…

They pulled out of escrow…

Jul. 18, 2013

Tuesday night I was sitting on the couch watching TV, drinking my wine when I received a text from Patrick, our real estate agent at 10:00 p.m. saying “If you’re awake call me.”  I instantly knew it was bad news and called him within seconds.  We had been waiting on a certain issue which I…

We’re on a new eating program at the Goff house!

Jul. 17, 2013

As most of you know I have to be constantly engaged in a project or I go stir crazy.  Since my house is still in a holding mode, I can’t obsess on any home improvements, moving plans or the garden so I have decided to focus on the way we eat. I love eating healthy…

I just didn’t know!

Jul. 16, 2013

I literally hate this phrase more than any other phrase in the English language.   In my mind when someone says “they didn’t know” I always think “How could you not know?” My thoughts then start racing.  “Don’t you care enough to know?  Don’t you value learning this imp0rtant skill or quality?  Are you just lazy…

Sometimes, I just want to sit down…

Jul. 15, 2013

Is that too much to ask for?  A moment of sitting on the couch to read the paper or a book on a Saturday afternoon? Sometimes it feels like that is an impossible feat for me, especially today.   I just had a huge fight with Tiara and my hands are bleeding in numerous spots from…

Why are people wearing pajamas in public?

Jul. 12, 2013

Maybe I’m old fashioned in the dressing department but can someone please tell me how it has become acceptable for grown adults to wear pajamas out in public?  Of course I can accept cute little kids in the bagel store or on a morning run to the market in their pj’s and can almost understand…

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
