I have done this before and it was not a bad experience. The parents usually ask alot of questions and I just share about my experience. So, you can talk about your experience with getting through school etc. I am sure you will not be staring at eachother. Most of the time the parents are so grateful to see someone with CF who is older than their child and has gotten through school, life etc.
Just share what you know, what you have done with your CF and your life and I am sure the conversation will flow just fine!
Good luck and how nice of you to do this! You will feel so humbled and good when you are done!!!

That is very kind of you. I suggest you telling them about this website and all the people who you talk to daily.
Just be yourself. Maybe you can bring a family member?
When I worked for the CFF many years ago, I was told to visit a hospital CF support group. One couple liked me and asked me when they should tell their daughter that she has CF. I told them to tell her ASAP. They brought their daughter to meet me at one of the other meetings and this little girl was the cutest thing. Her eyes lite up and she said something like, "you are my mother's age". I will never forget the expression on her face that day.
You will make a big difference for this family.
Let us know how it goes
