Joe Giudice may be focused on the future, but he took time Saturday to reminisce about the past.

Taking to Instagram, the father of four shared a collection of throwback images featuring wife Teresa Giudice and their four daughters: Gia, 19, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 14, and Audriana, 10.

“Don’t fall in! Whatever happens in our future, remember we were friends to begin with. We will always stay strong. It’s not distance that breaks a couple it’s actions!” Joe wrote.

“I’m growing and learning more from today’s generation. egocentrism was thing in baby boomer and gen x era. Now, Millennials believe in joint effort not separating roles. Not, that I didn’t love my era I see the ego thing got in my way like a trap. one bedroom is good Today, simplicity, girls and family first, and actions speak louder than a car or big things,” he continued.

Joe concluded his heartfelt message with the hashtags “family is everything,” “awakening,” “kids,” and future.”

The Giudice family has endured a number of difficulties over the past year. In October, Joe, 47, returned to his native Italy to await a final ruling in his deportation case. Last month, he and Teresa, also 47, separated after two decades of marriage.

“They discussed their future when Teresa and the girls went to Italy in early November and they agreed that each had to move on. They are doing so amicably and very slowly,” a source told People at the time.

The couple’s daughters recently traveled overseas to spend Christmas with Joe. Days before the holiday, Teresa was photographed with ex Anthony Delorenzo.
