My sister and I have an 8 (almost 9) year gap between us (she's younger). When she was really little it was good - I was like a second mum lugging her around on my non-existent hips. Then, when I was an older teenager and left home (at 16 to study) - well, I missed out on a lot which was sad. But now we live near each other again, and I see her heaps - and to be honest I am much closer with her than I am with my brother who is only 2.5 years younger.
This kind of thing would probably happen with siblings 4-5 years apart - they'll be close, grow apart, then be close again - especially when the teenage years hit.
