Return of Menstruation After Cessation

Question
I had a cessation of menstruation for 7 months, and two days ago I had light bleeding. Does this count as menstruation or not, knowing that I am 53 years old?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If the color of the blood is bright red or black, then it is menstrual blood and has lasted for three days or more; otherwise, it is not blood of irregular bleeding, and God knows best.
