The Si Peterson Story
A Legacy of Faith
by Anita Begieneman

---

A tale of miracles and hope, The Si Peterson Story recounts the extraordinary life of Frank Siedel Peterson (Si), a young, vibrant sixteen-year-old who fell from a high bar while doing gymnastics, and broke his neck. Instantly and totally paralyzed from his chin down, Si spent the next eighteen years of his life as a quadriplegic. Narrated by his devoted mother, Si’s journey is a beautiful example of a life lived with courage, faith, and complete trust in the Heavenly Father’s will. The Si Peterson Story leaves its reader inspired and strengthened by the legacy of Si’s unbreakable faith.

Anita Begieneman loves children and has embraced the title of “Mom” from many people over the years. She’s proud to have been known as Grand Mom, Great-Grand Mom, Step (or “Bonus”) Mom, Foster Mom, and Si’s Mom. This last name, “Si’s Mom,” is how Anita was known for the 18 years her son, Si Peterson, spent as a quadriplegic. Even today, many years after Si’s death, his friends approach her on the street and ask her, “Aren’t you Si’s Mom?” Anita’s role as Si’s Mom was a privilege and an honour, because Si was such a strong example of courage and faith. Anita feels as though she must have done something right in the spirit world to be chosen as Si’s mother, and she looks forward to the day she will be reunited with him. Before she was a Mom, Anita earned a teaching degree from the University of Alberta in Edmonton and spent five years working with children in an elementary school.
