My cousin lives in California. Because that is such a long distance from Philadelphia, it takes a long time to drive there. This distance makes it so hard to visit her, and I miss her very much. Our parents think it is too hard to drive across the country to see each other, so I miss my cousin very much.

Because of this, I only see my cousin once a year. I want to see her more often so we can watch movies together, but our parents say no!

What is the main idea of the passage?
