not half as lucky as I am

Portuguese translation: sortuda mesmo sou eu; sorte mesmo tenho eu

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:not half as lucky as I am
Portuguese translation:sortuda mesmo sou eu; sorte mesmo tenho eu

Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / adult romance novel
English term or phrase: not half as lucky as I am
Mother; “Did I ever tell you how lucky I am to have a daughter like you?”
Daughter: “Not half as lucky as I am to have a mother like you."

Não tenho certeza se o comparativo (literal) soaria bem em português. Pensei em algo assim:

"Alguma vez eu já te disse como sou sortuda por ter uma filha como você"
"Sortuda sou eu por ter uma mãe como você."

O que os colegas opinam? Alguma outra sugestão para PT-Br? Obrigado!
