“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.

Are you excited for the first day of school?

Sep. 04, 2012

    Normally, I would be so thrilled for the first day of school, the return to a solid routine,  but I am not sure I am so excited about the routine.  For starters Trinity’s first week of school, isn’t really a full week of school.  They go from 8 until noon, Why?  I have…

Have you ever screamed so hard, you wet your pants?

Aug. 31, 2012

    Well, I screamed so loud and so aggressively yesterday, I practically peed my pants.  It so serves me right, as I was bragging just two days ago, about how I know how to clean up any crazy mess.  Well, Tiara showed me. Last year when Tiara was in a coma, I used to…

My favorite appetizer…

Aug. 30, 2012

  So I haven’t posted a recipe in a zillion years, okay maybe a month, but either way I was so over myself today I didn’t feel like thinking or writing about myself.  One of my friends is stopping by for appetizers and of course I made my favorite appetizer which I seem to make…

I never drink shots, do you?

Aug. 29, 2012

I am feeling on deaths door as a result of exhaustion and I am just praying that Tiara will sleep past 3am tomorrow morning.  For the past week she has been waking up at 3am, including the night of my reunion.  Oh wait, that night she woke up at 2am and then I had to…

Were you ever bullied in school?

Aug. 28, 2012

  I was bullied a little in 5th and 7th grade and now that Trinity is getting ready to start 5th grade next week I was thinking back to those times.  Not great memories, but they probably serve a purpose in helping me guide my girls through all the junk kids endure at school.  …

Seriously, you can’t wear that!!!

Aug. 27, 2012

  As most of you know, my 25th high school reunion was this past Saturday night.  I was so busy planning it, I really didn’t want to worry about my outfit but because of the fact that I won the best dressed award from 6th grade on, silly enough, I felt compelled to step back…

I wasn’t going to post, but then I couldn’t stop writing…

Aug. 24, 2012

  I just sat down to write a little blurb about how I wasn’t going to post today and yet here I am writing.  A normal person would just not bother to post anything, but then again we all know I am far from normal. So I might as well keep going and tell you…

Why does everything have to be so hard?

Aug. 23, 2012

  As I have mentioned, my husband recently changed jobs.  With a new job comes new insurance.  For most families I am sure that is stressful but for our family it can be traumatic.  Years ago when Louie was interviewing for new jobs, I used to beg him to ask what kind of insurance they…

Have you ever had to rescue someone at the beach?

Aug. 22, 2012

  So today a near miracle occurred.  Lou had the day off, and we have a new caretaker who just started, provided by the Regional Center, who is really eager to learn but still very green.  With that in mind, Lou took Trinity to beach volleyball camp, I took Tiara for a walk and then…

What happened to your butt?

Aug. 21, 2012

  I hate to admit this but Lou and I have gotten really old, or at least I bodies feel old.  Lou is always complaining about his back and neck hurting, especially after he has spent a few hours alone with Tiara.  As a result, a few months ago, while at Target, I saw some…

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
