“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 finally decorated….

Mar. 30, 2012

        I have been decorating for the holidays for 19 years. I really wanted to skip decorating for Easter this year but my mom guilted me into it during our walk this morning.  I grew up in family where my mother ALWAYS went over the top decorating for every holiday.  My sister…

Who does this?

Mar. 29, 2012

I understand if you are either “too busy” or rather too lazy to actually put the dish into the dishwasher but this sends me over top.  I walk over to sink and think Wow, everyone put away their dishes and then I go to wash my hands and see this.  I mean really.  Don’t pretend…

I took Monday off but I’m back…

Mar. 28, 2012

  As you probably noticed I did not post on Tuesday.  I know you noticed because several people brought it to my attention and a family member actually called my hubby to make sure everything was ok.  I write my blogs the day before they magically appear on the web and I was a zombie…

dreading the day….

Mar. 24, 2012

  Woke up Friday morning at 5:45, totally dreading the day.  Lou saw my eyes fly open and said “what’s wrong”?  He could tell from across the room, I was already spinning and I had just woken up.  I had found out Thursday, that the MRI follow-up I have been trying to schedule for Tiara…

I guess I really do love our dog….

Mar. 23, 2012

Today I had a huge scare and it made me realize how important our dog, Bailey, is to me.  Tiara and I were walking into the house from the car and as I came to the door I didn’t hear Bailey bark or see him through the glass of the front door.  That is weird….

something happy to share…

Mar. 22, 2012

  I started feeling a little depressed today as I read all the kind, thoughtful and wonderfully supportive comments people made regarding my posts this week.  Everyone was so nice, but boy did my life sound like a nightmare.  In writing my posts I  really  have to revisit how my day went and focus on…

another one of those days….

Mar. 21, 2012

I have been writing this blog for one month now.  When I started posting last month,  I had no idea my journey with Tiara was heading for this direction.  I sensed her agitation was increasing, I saw more daily seizures, I felt the increased pinching and hair  pulling but I was hopeful that our lives…

I know how I will die…..

Mar. 20, 2012

  I know this sounds rather morbid but it is something I think of often while driving around town with Tiara.  I envision myself driving when I am suddenly struck in the head with a flying object, my head hits the steering wheel, my car careens off the road and it crashes into a telephone…

It’s raining, it’s pouring….

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
