How about this...you can change/modify as you wish to fit your own personality:
D, S...I can see that Dad's absence is really bothering you a great deal. Although it may look this way, but I do want to stress that Dad does LOVE you both very much. Right now, Dad needs to figure out his own stuff. It is all on his own timeline. All we can do is to focus on us and carry on. You are free to tell Dad how much you miss him and would like to spend some time with him. I will support you in this regard...just right now things are up in the air. We're going have to be patient with this process. What are your thoughts after hearing this?
