Grandma Mueller’s Heart Shaped Pans

My grandparents passed when I was in my twenties. By this time, Big Guy and I were married and just started our journey together.

I never knew my mom’s parents well. My grandpa died in an auto accident and my grandma died when I was incredibly young. My dad’s parents were of hardy stock and lived to the ripe old age of 103 for my grandpa and ninety-three for my grandma. I was able to spend time with them and learn about their extraordinary lives.

The one thing that never failed was my grandma’s love of baking. You might think I was being a romantic, especially knowing I was a newlywed, when I asked if I could have her heart shaped baking pans. The pans have moved from house to house, and I will never part with them as each time I look at them I remember my grandparents and the love they gave me in the early years of my life.
