100 Good Wishes - One Squish at a Time!

To welcome and celebrate a new life, there is a tradition in the northern part of China to make a Bai Jia Bei, or 100 Good Wishes Quilt. It is a custom to invite friends and family to contribute a patch of cloth with a wish for the baby. Part of the patch of cloth goes into the quilt for the baby, and the other part of the cloth can go into a creative memory notebook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from all the families and friends who contribute a piece of fabric.

My wish for you, is that life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this is my wish.

We wish for you unconditional love and happiness!

Because of you hope fills our days,
we close our eyes, we see your face.
Our lives were joined, became entwined,
though far apart, yet side by side.
Destined to meet, destined to share,
our lives and love no matter where.
We love you now, we'll love you then,
we'll wipe your tears always again.
The home you've known will always be,
part of your life you'll never leave.
The home that waits and longs for you,
becomes a part of your life too.
So close your eyes and dream sweet dreams,
the world can wait until we meet.
And when you wake although you've slept,
a whole new world you've never left.

May you always love and appreciate the Land where you came from and the home you have now.

We wish you...
Happiness, deep down within;
Serenity, with each sunrise;
Success, in each facet of your life;
Close and caring friends,
Love that never ends.
Special memories of all the yesterdays;
A bright tomorrow
With much to be thankful for;
A path that leads to beautiful tomorrows;
Dreams that do their best to come true;
And appreciation of all the wonderful things about You!
