Back in June, Bode Miller suffered a horrific tragedy when his one and a half year-old daughter Emeline passed away after drowning at a family friend’s pool. Months later, Bode took to Instagram to reveal the touching way he is paying tribute to the little girl.

Bode uploaded a photo of himself holding skis with Emme’s face on it along with the caption, “My favorite Christmas present. Taking my baby girl skiing today.”

This comes after Bode’s wife Morgan Beck posted a tribute to Emme on Christmas Day.

“Merry Christmas to our baby girl in heaven,” Morgan wrote. “We miss you so much!”

Merry Christmas to our baby girl in heaven. We miss you so much! …….. 2018 has been a year full of overwhelming sadness and overwhelming joy. We have spent half of the year mourning and attempting to heal the loss of our angel which feels like an impossible battle all while celebrating the birth of our son. Seeking normalcy for our children has been our driving force forward. Normally I would be looking forward to a “fresh beginning” in 2019 but there is no more starting fresh after the loss of a child. So here’s to a healthy 2019 full of personal growth and creating many memories with my babies, full of smiles and laughs. Wishing everyone a special holiday season surrounded by loved ones.

Emeline died on June 10 in Coto de Caza, California.

“It happened around 6:30 in the evening on Saturday night,” Orange County Fire Authority Captain Steve Concialdi said at the time. “They were at a neighbor’s house, talking to the neighbors inside, and somehow the little girl made her way to the backyard pool.”

“She was only missing for just a short amount of time and Mom turned and was looking for her and didn’t see her right next to her,” he continued. “Mom went straight to the backyard to where the pool was. The child was in the pool. The mom pulled out the little girl and they started CPR immediately.”

Please continue to keep the Miller family in your thoughts and prayers!
