“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 bipolar?

Jun. 13, 2012

  Sunday night one of my best friends from college, Mara, came to dinner.  She lives in Arizona so I usually only see her a couple of times a year, but whenever she is in town she always comes over to drink wine with Louie and I.  After we drank our chardonnay, ate salmon and…

How did she get to be so old?

Jun. 12, 2012

  With graduations, promotions and last days of school happening everywhere I am sure many of you are feeling how I felt today.  How did my kid get to be so old?  Well today, Trinity, the baby of our family rode her bike to school all by herself.  She has been harassing us for months…

My feelings were hurt…..

Jun. 08, 2012

  Someone texted something to me today that really hurt my feelings.  The weird thing was that it totally caught me off guard and then I got super upset.  I got all fired up and was about to lash out at them but then realized it wasn’t worth damaging our relationship over a little statement. …

I have lost the right to complain…

Jun. 07, 2012

  As you can see from this picture, which I received via text from a close family member Tuesday night, he is mad at me for not voting.  He sent me text messages all day Tuesday first asking if I voted and then when I responded “no”, he went on a full campaign of stalking…

Keeping up with the Jones’…..

Jun. 06, 2012

    I have to admit, I don’t try to keep up with anyone in town because it would be a losing battle but when it comes to my house, I do get streaks of jealousy and moments where I feel compelled to keep up with the neighbors.  I love decorating and working on my…

Tiara, soon to be a freshman….

Jun. 05, 2012

  I was just thinking about the end of the year activities for Trinity and realized that if Tiara was still attending school she would be graduating from 8th grade in a few weeks.  How did that happen?  Wow, I can’t believe that she is supposed to be going to high school in September.  I…

Am I in trouble or what?

Jun. 01, 2012

  I mean if they passed out awards for giving the meanest looks, Tiara would win by a mile.  She has always been very expressive with her face, which has enabled her to get her point across even when she couldn’t verbally communicate her wants, needs or dislikes.  Even though she can now pretty much…

And her new place to color is?

May. 31, 2012

  As you can see, Tiara has taken her art to a new canvas, my walls, my doors and my kitchen cabinets.  Last night when Lou came home I said “Hey, did you see the walls?  Look what she did!”  His response, ” So what, didn’t you do that same thing at 3 years old?”…

You have to take your medicine!

May. 30, 2012

  If you are a parent, I am sure you have had to administer the dreaded oral antibiotics that taste disgusting once or twice to your child.  As you know, it is not fun or pretty.  Sometimes it takes bribery and serious coercion to get the medicine down.  Well, Tiara has to take 17 pills…

Wow, it really does look like summer…

May. 29, 2012

  Clearly, I am having a little an obsession with my town, since I posted about it yesterday but today instead of driving around Newport I got to ride my bike.  I love riding my bike to the beach!  I grew up across the street from the beach but now I live about 5 or…

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
