“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.

Am I really that embarrassing?

Nov. 27, 2012

  I think I have mentioned before that Trinity is constantly embarrassed by my presence.  It still shocks me at times and today she really threw me for a loop. When Tiara and I pick her up from school everyday we used to walk onto campus and wait with all the other parents.  I would…

Thank Gosh it’s Monday!

Nov. 26, 2012

Seriously, this Thanksgiving weekend felt like it was a month long with Saturday and Sunday lasting  3 of the 4 weeks.  We just got home from our normal Sunday lunch at Fashion Island and I barely survived the car ride home.  Just before we left the mall, Tiara pushed back her wheelchair and ran over…

Let’s decorate for Christmas, tips and tricks…

Nov. 24, 2012

I love decorating for Christmas!  Every year the day after Thanksgiving, I go into the attic and pull down the decorations.  This year Lou and Tab were both at work and Tiara was exhausted from Thanksgiving, so Trinity and I worked together while Tiara clapped and cheered.  As we started I was happier than usual…

We really do live in a small world…

Nov. 22, 2012

  Monday night I took Trinity and Tiara to Target because I was so tired I had to keep moving or I would collapse.  My Mom had given me $100 to buy Tiara some new slippers and a few bras, so I figured it was the perfect time to get this done.  Tiara hates to…

If you need help, ask your kid!

Nov. 21, 2012

As I have mentioned before I am a frustrated graphic designer.  I love fabulous logos, great looking brochures and am envious of anyone who is a whiz at photoshop/photoelements or any program that can help you make beautiful stuff.  I am getting better on Photoshop everyday but not good enough.  A week ago I had…

I tried to take the day off…

Nov. 20, 2012

I tried really hard not to write this post because I am functioning on 3 hours of sleep and that is NOT an exaggeration, but of course I couldn’t help myself.  In the past 14 hours I have been in the emergency room, to UCLA for a check up and at another doctor’s office for…

Are you sick of hearing about Black Friday?

Nov. 19, 2012

As you all know, I love finding a good bargain, but I am totally disgusted with Black Friday.  Last year I ranted and raved to everyone in the family about Walmart, Target and Kmart opening on Thanksgiving evening.  I just didn’t understand why  it was necessary to shop on Thanksgiving after dinner.  Thanksgiving is meant…

My new favorite thing!

Nov. 16, 2012

  I am so excited to share this company with you that I can barely contain myself.  A week ago I was contacted by pvbody.com.  I had never heard of this company before but as soon as they described what they did, I was thinking “I AM IN, SIGN ME UP, I LOVE IT!” You…

Getting sick? Here is my sickness approach…

Nov. 15, 2012

Yes, I know I am not a trained medical professional and I am not pretending to be but through the years I have developed a few tricks that may help you when the viruses start to hit, which is NOW. I don’t know about where you live, but everyone is getting either the stomach flu,…

Apparently I’m going bald!

Nov. 14, 2012

  So as long as I can remember I have had a cowlick on the right back side of my head.  As a kid I would shower in the evening and when I woke up in the morning I had this huge tuft of hair sticking up on the back of my head.  It seemed…

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
