A friend wrote this as a tribute to her father for his birthday:
I'm proud that you are my father
I am not a native speaker either, but it to me it sounds like "you are the father of someone great so you must be great".
Or does it sound OK?

Indeed, I see nothing wrong either with the sentence as written, though I would suspect it more common for the sentence to take the opposite perspective:
In either case you would be proud of his personality or his achievements in life. Of course such achievements might be simply having other great children, however it would be far nearer to be proud of him for something else/more.
