THE mother of a 19-year-old Protestant man has said she bears no bitterness to those who killed her son in a case of mistaken identity as a revenge attack for the Enniskillen bomb.
Adam Lambert, from Ballygawley, Co Tyrone was shot dead on 9 November 1987 - the day following the Remembrance Day attack in Co Fermanagh.
The teenager was studying building services at the University of Ulster and shot as he arrived for a work placement at a building site.
His mother Ivy said his death, left his family "just absolutely devastated" but "time is a great healer".
"People tell you time isn't a healer but I think it is - the pain gets softer as the years go on," she told the BBC.
"Maybe Adam had done all the things he had to do - he accomplished as much in 20 years as many people would do in a lifetime."
The 85-year-old said in the early days her late husband Brian "wouldn't even mention Adam's name - it was only towards the end of his life he even began to mention Adam".
The pensioner said she had learned to live with the fact that no one has ever been convicted of his murder, saying his killers "don't mean anything to me".
"People should draw a line under the past. I know everyone isn't the same, some can, some can't, and I feel for those who are much worse off than me, in great pain," she said.
