“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.

Super weird side effect from a new seizure medication

Sep. 20, 2012

  Last month, Tiara’s neurologist prescribed her a new seizure medication that just came on the market, called Potiga.  Even though Tiara is only having a few seizures each day, which is super fabulous for her, she is so sedated she can’t do much until the afternoon each day.  Our plan was to add this…

Are your pupils the same size?

Sep. 19, 2012

  I am just going to say it straight out, I hate going to the eye doctor.  I would rather have a pap smear than get my eyes checked.  Crazy but true.  On Monday, I realized that I only had 3 days of my contacts left and from past experience I know you need a…

A crayon fundraiser for Tiara!!!

Sep. 18, 2012

Do you think it is rude to send a thank you note via email or text?

Sep. 14, 2012

  Now that my birthday is over, I have a few thank you notes to write and I am contemplating how to get them done.  I grew up super old school, where a written thank you note was to be sent within 2 days of receiving any gift.  I tried to teach my children the…

I had quite the scare today!

Sep. 13, 2012

  Today was one of those days where everything didn’t go exactly wrong, but just different than I planned.  Tiara and I usually walk with a friend on Wednesdays but this morning I had an early auction meeting for the school at 8:15am.  My plan was to do Tiara’s medicine a little early and bring…

Who do you look like?

Sep. 12, 2012

  My whole life, everyone has told me I looked like my Dad.  We both had blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin as opposed to my Mom and sister’s big brown eyes and darker complexion.  Funny enough about 7 years ago, I had to start wearing glasses to read and realized I didn’t look…

Where to get the best stuff for super cheap!

Sep. 07, 2012

  This is such a random post for me, but I thought I would share where I purchased all my current set of dishes, my glasses and few other things.  First of all you must know, that all the dishes we received as wedding presents 20 years ago were broken within a few years.  I…

I hate feeling like this!!!

Sep. 06, 2012

I hate when I feel just blah.  I am pretty sure it is hormonally related because now that I am on my 7th month of blogging I am noticing a pattern with my moods.  Maybe it is the weather?  I mean how muggy and gross can it get?  Trinity got out of school at noon…

Just when I thought it was getting better, everything went back to normal

Sep. 05, 2012

  So, I have to say this weekend, which I was dreading, turned out to have some really surprising high points.  Trinity and I took Tiara to Target and the market on Friday, two public places in one day, is really pushing it, and at both places, she actually walked, wasn’t in her wheelchair, and…

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
