“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.

I am bored and flaky…

Aug. 02, 2012

    I don’t even know what I have done today and it is already 3:00pm.  I haven’t gotten anything done on my blog, the house is not really clean, I did walk and yes, as always I am tired.  I am so tired, I feel rather bored with my life.  So I was pondering…

what keeps you awake at night?

Aug. 01, 2012

My thoughts of Tabitha and Trinity having an asthma attack and dying are a pretty constant worry for me, which tend to keep me up in the middle of the night, if I am not already up with Tiara.  Last night on the way home from a family birthday celebration Trinity started in on her…

My blogging journey….

Jul. 31, 2012

  So last month I mentioned  to you in my post, “My blog is going worldwide” that I was on a mission to increase my blog traffic.  I am happy to report, that it has been working, but somehow I am making less money.  Humm, so confused?   Nevertheless, I think I have figured out…

Are you a work widow?

Jul. 27, 2012

  The other day my friend offered to help me set up for the Tuberous Sclerosis picnic in August because I commented to her, “Lou will probably be working and not able to attend the picnic this year”.  She said “Oh, I know what it is like to be a work widow, I will help!” …

Try not to laugh…

Jul. 26, 2012

As I have mentioned or rather I think I have mentioned, Tiara has the worst table manners in the history of mankind, including cavemen.  She has never been great in the table manners department but ever since her surgery last year her manners are non existent.  We are not sure whether it is because she…

Something funny about me, you probably don’t know…

Jul. 25, 2012

    If you are a regular reader, you know by now, once I get hooked on something I sometimes go a little overboard.  Well, what you probably don’t know about me is I used to be a “bird lady”.  Yes, at one point we had 13 parakeets and I let them fly around the…

The backs of my legs are throbbing again!

Jul. 24, 2012

I know this may sound really weird but whenever I get really stressed the back of my legs behind my knees, throb and pain.  Has this ever happened to you?  It started last year when Tiara was in the hospital for 3 months.  At first I thought it was from sitting upright in a chair…

I only had to do the Heimlich once, but we survived!

Jul. 20, 2012

  So, as most of you know, I took Tiara to the fair yesterday.  It was super humid and hot but I decided to forge ahead and follow through with my plan.  At 3:30 Trinity and I loaded up the car, with 15 cans of food because every person who brought in 5 cans before…

Do we dare try again?

Jul. 19, 2012

    It is fair time again, and yes my family loves the fair.  Tabitha and Trinity actually ride all the frightening crazy rides designed for adrenaline junkies.  Apparently my girls get this from Louie because I feel sick just watching the rides and can’t be persuaded to ride anything at the fair.  I am…

Have you ever done a crayon sweep?

Jul. 18, 2012

  As all my regular readers know, Tiara has a serious obsession with crayons.  I usually buy 5 packs every time I visit Target and hide them in the hall closet.  Everyday, she asks “more crayons, more crayons.”  even though her basket is overflowing.  She just loves the smell and feel of the new crayons. …

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
