Jacqueline Hodge received a big Mother's Day surprise for from her family in blue Wednesday. They are now her sons and daughters.

Hodge's son, Detective Sean Carrington, was killed 20 years ago when a drug buy-and-bust operation went wrong inside a building on Andrews Ave. near 176th St. in the Bronx. He was shot three times.   

"This is another Mother's Day that I don't have my son, and it has been difficult," Hodge said.

But officers are hoping the surprise, a cruise for Mother's Day, will continue to help heal the wounds of a mom who lost her only child.

"I have had 29 Mother's Days before my son got killed," Hodge said. "Today is the 30th-best Mother's Day I ever had."

Officers and precinct community councils from the Bronx donated more than $3,000 to pay for the vacation and other travel expenses.

"Watching her and seeing her reaction made me very emotional, and to see the cops also looking over and they seemed touched by it," said Raul Pintos, the deputy chief of NYPD Bronx Command.

Hodge told the officers gathered at the 46th Precinct that when an officer is killed in the line of duty, the NYPD gives spouses a lot of support, and rightfully so. But she said parents often never get over the death of a child, and she was overwhelmed by the continued support.

"But you have to remember the mother," Hodge said to officers at the precinct. "I would like for everyone to go home or whatever and call, 'Hi, mom,' because your mother sticks with you through thick and thin."

The cruise Hodge will be on is headed to Cuba on Monday. Although it is short notice, she said she's ready to sail.
