However, he\u2019s going all out to change that, begging for one last chance to heal his achy breaky heart and restore peace to the family, a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cBilly has been missing her like crazy,\u201d the insider says of Miley, 31. \u201cThey\u2019re not totally out of touch, but things are nothing like they used to be, and he really is desperate to change that.\u201d<\/p>\n The source adds that Billy Ray, 62, is even \u201cwilling to apologize and make amends with Tish, too, if that\u2019s what it takes.\u201d<\/p>\n And though he felt \u201csad\u201d that Miley and his other kids didn\u2019t give his third wife, Firerose<\/strong>, \u201cmuch of a chance,\u201d he\u2019s \u201cwilling to let that go because more than anything he wants to get the family back together and stop this horrible cold war they\u2019ve been dealing with.\u201d Billy Ray ultimately filed for annulment<\/a> from Firerose, 34, on May 23, just seven months after they tied the knot.<\/p>\n \u201cHe reaches out to Miley all the time, but it\u2019s hard for him to get her on the phone most days, which is very sad for him,\u201d the source continues. \u201cShe will always be his little girl and he feels terrible that things have gotten to this place.

She\u2019s a survivor and a true artist,\u201d he wrote of his daughter. \u201cShe learned early on to love and appreciate the fans who make everything possible. We both cherish the connection we have with our fans and are grateful for every single one of you! Hope you all have a great Friday!
