“While nothing will ever replace the feeling of aching arms to hold Emmy again, this baby provided something new this day: joy, inspiration, and hope,” she added.

The 19-month-old toddler drowned in a pool on June 9 at a neighbor’s house in Orange County, California. The poor tot supposedly fell in the water after slipping through a back door.

At the time, Bode was not around as he was at a soccer game with his eldest daughter. Only Morgan was with Emeline along with her friends.

It took about 30 seconds before Morgan discovered Emeline in the pool at the time.

They immediately dialed 911 while Morgan performed CPR as the paramedics were still on their way.

They rushed the child to a nearby hospital where she was proclaimed dead the day after. The cause of death was declared as drowning.

Speaking with Today, Morgan opened up and recalled the events of that day.

She said to co-host Savannah Guthrie, "There's not a day that goes by that I don't pray for the opportunity to go back to that day and make it different. But now we have this opportunity to make other parents' days different."
