Vintage Family Photo

A few months after my mother, Anita De La O(nee Osuna) passed away, I was going through some boxes that contained paper items, news clippings and other various items, when a small piece of paper fell out of an old envelope to the floor.

It turned out to be a photo of my grandmother Mary Osuna (nee Espinoza), my grandfather Agustine "Auggie" Osuna and my mother, the baby.

Presumably, it was taken in 1929. My mother was born on May 2, of that year. My grandmother was 18 or 19 years old and my grandfather roughly 21 or 22..

This was the first time I had seen this photo. I have no idea why my mother never shared this photo with us but I am grateful it was in the boxes I was holding for her.

I improved the quality of the  photo using an online AI app.

ADDENDUM: I added a colorized photo.
