Mom! Dad! Guess what I got!

I woke up crying this morning thinking about telling my mom and dad.

How do I tell my parents that I have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease? What sort of a screwed up world is it to have to give that horrifying information to the people I have loved my whole life? What do I say?

I recently spent 2 weeks at their home in Texas, so they know that I am "forgetful"... but they have not heard the recent diagnosis yet. They are on vacation in Florida for a week, and I don't want to give them the news until they get home. I woke up this morning crying, wondering how to tell them. What words can I say?

Here are my thoughts about that: My brother lives near them, and I will tell him so he can be there with them when I call with the news. Lame. I know. But it's the only thing I can come up with right now.
