“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.

Just made my first vlog!

Feb. 07, 2013

Super random but I just decided to make a vlog, like right this second.  I was catching up on some posts from other bloggers I had missed and saw that my friend, Lanaya from Raising Reagan had made a vlog.  I loved it.  Her vlog was rather professional, but not mine.  I was instantly inspired…

I may know more than the At&t guy…

Feb. 07, 2013

My regular readers know that I invited an AT&T solicitor going to door into my house several weeks ago.(You can read that post here if you missed it.)  After reviewing all the information he provided me, I decided to call him 4 days later and sign up for the bundled services.  He was really surprised…

Manhandling Tiara has kept me in shape….

Feb. 06, 2013

Monday morning I woke up and didn’t have a walking date planned.  Tiara was waiting to see her grandmother so I decided to look at the 24 fitness class schedule.  I love taking yoga and Pilates but haven’t done either in 2 years because of my life with TT.  My membership is $99 a year…

w.w.t.d.? Dealing with an adult bully…

Feb. 05, 2013

Hi Tiffani. I have an old co-worker with whom I worked 15 years ago. She and I are pretty different personalities. I found her to be pushy and arrogant (and I believe this was the perception of most everyone we worked with.) BUT she really liked me and wanted to be bff’s. It was very…

I may have found a new calling…

Feb. 01, 2013

The good news is that I am feeling better about myself today and didn’t hold on to my shame for too long.  The person I hurt isn’t mad at me because they know I was trying to help, so I have been forgiven.  Thank goodness!  So that issue is resolved for the moment. The great…

When nothing you do seems right…

Jan. 31, 2013

Today I was overwhelmed with the feeling that I screwed up again.  It’s that moment when you feel heavy, sad and disappointed in yourself and wonder how you could have made the same mistake again.  For every lesson I have learned in this life, the one I can’t seem to master is,  how to keep…

Are you jealous?

Jan. 30, 2013

Tiara hasn’t been having as many seizures lately and as a result her speech is improving daily.  Yesterday she learned the word jealous and won’t stop asking everyone “are you jealous?”  It all started when she gave my mother in law a big hug and looked back at me with a sassy smile.  My mother…

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
