Get a time machine. Go back in time and take the picture again.
You can "sharpen" an image and you can blur an image, but you can't put it in better focus than it was in the first place.
Sometimes, you can increase the saturation of a key color or two and make it appear more to your liking.

Unfortunately, blur is one thing that cannot be corrected in photo editing software. NO software can do this, regardless of what anyone may tell you. A blurred digital photo is comprised of pixels that have captured and recorded this off focus information as correct. Software cannot make something out of nothing. It all thinks this is a perfect photo. There is no "hidden" sharpness there to "find". Software cannot focus your camera for you. It would be the same as taking a photo of a person with a piece of cardboard over their face, then expecting photo editing software to be able to remove the cardboard and display the face. It just does not work that way. The photo is what it is. Remove the cardboard and there is nothing there... there is no face hiding behind the cardboard in the photo. Same with a blurred photo... there is no sharpness data there, and software is not going to magically create it. Post editing software is not the end all, cure all for all poorly taken photos. It is still, and always will be, important to get the photo correct in the camera in the beginning. Software can help improve some things and even create the illusion of more sharpness... BUT... there still has to be good, basic, sharp image data in the beginning. If any blurry photo could be magically corrected in software, there would be no need for manufacturers to spend millions of dollars developing sharp lenses or focus systems in cameras. People could just aim a camera and snap anything with no regard for focus. Of course, that is NOT how it is, so does that not logically tell you that software cannot make any blurry photo sharp? steve

The picture may not be able to be cleared very much. However I would try sharping tool in a program like paint shop pro. If the photo means a lot to you then take it to a professional and let them have the worried and you the result.

There's very little you can do with a blurred photo short of re-shooting it. (I know that's not what you want to hear).
There are several programs out there that clam to help, but at best the photo goes from blurred to granie and blurred.

Once it is blurry, forget about it, you can not sharpen it, many people think digital perform miracles, that's not the case, once the lens did not focus properly, is no way you can make it sharp.

I'm just guessing, I haven't used GIMP, but on Photoshop I might try "Unsharp Mask"
