Or "thank you for being", "thank you that you exist", something like that ("you" as "tu"). I know very little of Latin, if anything. So any explanations are welcome. From the little I know, it might be structured as "...(you being)... tibi gratias ago". I am not sure of declension. "Esse"?
And while you are at that, I shall also would like to know, how to put in Latin: "I know that you exist". This must be very close to the first one, I suppose.
Many thanks in advance!

gratias tibi ago, quod vivis/es
Dear Dmitry,
this is it:
"gratias tibi ago" -> I thank you
then you can choose between:
"quod vivis" -> because you live
"quod es" -> because you are/exist
Also, "I know that you exist":
"Scio te esse"
-SCIO --> I know
-te esse --> that you exist (this is an infinitive clause, subordinate, whose subject must be accusative ("te" instead of "tu").
I hope this helps you!
Best wishes,
Flavio

Discussion
Can it be something like "<gratulor> quod vivis"? Not sure if this is correct either. Just my feeling of how it might look like.
